The Fall of Dede Scozzafava (NY RINO, ACORN supported)
National Review ^ | 10/16/09 | [Maggie Gallagher]

Posted on 10/17/2009 9:47:52 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

The media is all over the new Siena poll which shows Dede Scozzafava's support collapsing in New York's 23rd Congressional District. This is a special election in November in a district that has elected a Republican since 1871. But party bosses saw fit to nominate a woman who is not only pro-gay marriage and pro-abortion, she has an economic record that has lead the Club For Growth and the American Conservative Union to target her and endorse the Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman, in spite of Newt Gingrich's endorsement....

What's at stake in this race? As Michelle Malkin has written, it's not just the heart and soul of the GOP, but its brain. Whose idea was it to nominate an extreme ACORN-friendly liberal for this seat? Their silly heads should roll.

So, they don’t even have the excuse that this is a “liberal” district. They just love RINOs and pro-aborts, as Steele among others has repeatedly demonstrated.

The Conservative Party in New York has only one purpose: to keep the Republicans more or less honest. They don’t like to split with the Republican Party in NY, and only do so when they must.

This is one of those cases when they must. Because this candidate is just obscene.

The RNC just released a boatload of money to support this leftie. Any thoughts on what the RNC ought to be told when they call this weekend?

“Scozzafava” Cool name. I think it translates to ‘Move over beans.’ Not sure.

Even Michael Medved, a kinda big tenter and rabid anti-third party guy, said this is an exception where the third party conservative candidate (1) should be supported and (2) can actually win.

This is a microcosm of why the GOP is where it is today.

Beyond disgusting, it is so discouraging as to make me wonder if there is even remotely any hope.

Another reason why I don’t call myself Republican anymore. I am 48 and since I was 12 I supported the Republican Party. McCain ended that on Super Tuesday last year.

I regret having supported Dole, Bush I, and Bush II. I wasn’t going to continue that trend by supporting McKook and was happy to vote for Bob Barr. I have given NOTHING to the RNC since 2000 (or maybe 2002).

Steele had nothing to do with this nomination. I believe it was the local (corrupt) county chairman in that isolated district who nominated Dede because of her husband's money and contracting ties.

The Conservative Party in New York has only one purpose: to keep the Republicans more or less honest. They don’t like to split with the Republican Party in NY, and only do so when they must.

True, although they(the Conservative party) has endorsed Dede in the past).

This is one of those cases when they must. Because this candidate is just obscene.

The Conservative party gave her conservative ratings of between 45% and 60% in past years. This year, they gave her a rating of (yes it's obscene)15%.

You know Dede must be bad for Medved to support Huffman. We all need to support Huffman because he is a conservative and to show the RNC they cannot shove a Rino down our throats. We need to shove Dede up the RNC’s rearend.

I’m really scratching my head over Scozzafava. As I posted in another thread, I wasn’t expecting a NY Republican to be Barry Goldwater. But after looking over her stances at Project Vote Smart, I’m not seeing much to shout about at all.. She’s to the left of every moderate Republican I can think of on nearly every issue. That includes Senator Snowe, who at least supports the death penalty.
