I couldn’t believe that I heard one of the talking heads on the Sunday morning talk shows mutter that Hoffman is closer on the issues to the person in office than Scozzafava?
That said, conservatives need to turn out in large numbers in the primaries for conservative candidates. There is a better chance of winning elections that way than going the third party route. Illinois Rinos are pushing Dillard for governor, yet there are some good solid conservatives also running.....

You said it brother - see my post # 39.
I make my fight in the primaries.
That would absolutely be true. That is one reason I don’t mind supporting him from well outside his district. If his district was in line with Scozzafava, I would be more hesitant to involve myself.

The guy who was elected to this seat in 2008 had a 71.55% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union. The R in the race, the “big R” libeRal democRat has a 15% rating from the New York conservatives, and is more liberal than 46 Democrats in the New York state House.
You haven’t read the positions of their previous congressman, John McHugh. And remember that 71.55% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union. This man won the district last year with 65% of the vote.

A conservative cannot win up there, unfortunately RINO’s are necessary in local elections, NEVER AGAIN for national office.
On the same ballot, John McCain, perceived as a RINO and copromiser, lost this district.
This district votes for conservatives and against RINOs. The RNC and the RCCC made a huge mistake in this race, and they are doubling down and tripling down on it with money donated by conservatives who thought they were supporting the Republican platform. That is fraudulent and corrupt.
Once this election is over, we really need to clean house in the RCCC and the House leadership who supported this libeRal democRat who got the “R” in this race.
We also need to clean up the RCCC, the RNC and other “leaders” who chose to give this woman the “R” in this race.

Please support Doug Hoffman for Congress. Please, spread the word about this important race in New York’s 23rd congressional district. |
I agree. But when the party powers prevail in a primary, we have to go to the next step and try to blow them out with a conservative Independent.
Ideally, what should start happening now is that a few solid conservative pubs in safe districts should change their party affiliation to Independent so that conservative Independents are seen as a winning ticket. That will encourage more conservatives to run as Independents. Then the pub party powers will have to choose - our way or the highway.
It’s one thing for the rats to diminish the pub party from without. It’s another thing for us to do it from within in such a way that, after the bllod bath is washed away, the pub party emerges stronger and more conservatives. In other words, the only way to change the party power from RINO to conservative is to ram it down their throats. But ultimately we need them because they’ve got the infrastructure and the money.
