The simple truth.
Dede makes John McCain look rightist.
I knew that card check is expected to inflate union ranks, but by what means does this mean a guaranteed boost in the Democrat vote? I could easily see a backlash effect from card check, not that I would want card check in the first place.
Don’t forget Newt too.
Scuzzifavabeans MUST be defeated. She is far worse than even the Democrat.
Republicans in that district need to rebel against their Party officials, and throw THOSE bums out, as well!
Outstanding article by Michelle. I don’t really see how Scozzafava qualifies as a moderate. She apparently does have a good record on the Second Amendment (gets an “A” from the NY chapter of the NRA), and Scozzafava does take a fairly tough stance on drug and sex crimes (though she also opposes the death penalty and does not support trying violent juvenile offenders as adults). On everything else, though, she’s very liberal. I no more see her as a moderate than I would Dianne Feinstein just because she supports the death penalty.
The headline is wrong, even if the article is right. This is a fight the GOP very much does need to have, and it needs to have it right now. Fred Thompson has taken a principled, courageous, and correct stand in refusing to endorse the GOP candidate and by endorsing the Convservative Party candidate instead. Will the two Madame Morons from Maine ever be persuaded there are actual consequences to behaving like Democrats in Notheastern politics if we cannot even shoehorn a conservative Republican into a safe, open district in upstate New York?
Send money to the conservative candidate, and a message to the NY GOP. I'm not a third-party guy -- I argue with FReepers about that all the time, but...
Enough is enough.
Can we run a strong conservative against her on the Dem ticket?
You’ve gotta love Michelle Malkin.
She knows how to research it, and how to present it.
The GOP high poobahs are on the way to learning a very painful lesson.
Throw the bums out!
That bit about Obama is sometimes used as justification for Scozzafava. It makes it sound like the district leans center to left these days. It doesn’t.
The upstate New York district is as safe a Republican district as they come. The GOP has triumphed in every election there since 1871. Obama eked out a victory in the district last fall, but the Democrats have no real traction on the ground.
The whole story in 2008 was this. They re-elected John McHugh with 65% of the vote. McHugh was a relatively conservative Republican who held positions on the issues pretty close to Dough Hoffman in this year’s race. McHugh had a 71.55% lifetime rating from the National Conservative Union.
On the same ballot, the district rejected a RINO, John McCain. This district doesn’t vote for libeRals and compromisers on the Republican side.
Please, send Hoffman a donation (or use PayPal). I wish we would get behind him as strongly as we got behind Joe Wilson last month.
Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.
Scozzafava also holds these positions:
Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.
This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” libeRal democRat.
There are also 17 RINOs in the house who have donated funds to this LibeRal democRat's campaign. They include Boehner and Cantor. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These RINOs should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year.

The RNC gave $85,000 to Scuzzyface?
