This doesn’t tell the story of this district.
The nominee would be chosen by party leaders in the district’s 11 counties; few people were surprised when they chose Deirdre “Dede” Scozzafava, a five-term assemblywoman who’d voted with Democrats on abortion and labor issues, factors that could help the party hold a historically conservative district that had voted for the Obama-Biden ticket last year.
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.
I’m not sure why the locals picked Scozzafava. I’ve read somewhere that they thought she could fund her own campaign. But now the RNC and RCCC are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into her campaign. Dollars that were donated to support the Republican party platform, and are now being used fraudulently to oppose that very platform.
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.

In favor of Employee Free Choice Act (Card Check)
In favor of the Stimulus
In favor of Bank Bailouts
It is inconceivable that a person with this record is a Republican. Why?
NO to RINO turds.
REAL conservatives, not dem lite.
Hey GOP “leaders” f.u.
” putting the breaks on cap-and-trade legislation”
Brakes, not breaks.
Heres hoping the conservatives pull this one out..
Does anyone have any recent polling data on the race?
I am amazed the Republican party is being so obtuse.
Such ignorance on their part—what do they think the entire tea party movement is protesting? It isn’t an increase in the number of Republicans in government we’re wanting—it is an increase in the number of CONSERVATIVES.
Do you have his schedule for an upcoming rally? We’ll make the drive to support Hoffman with Gadsen Flag waving high.
They’re laughing with joy in the White House. “Principled” conservatives are, once again, splitting the vote to elect Democrat.
This is just another reason why I no longer donate money or time to the RINO Party (RNC).
I had three envelopes of GOP requests for money and a phone request, and I told them to go to you know where and exactly why. I hope we all do that and the flaming mail catches their mailbox on fire.
Can they hear us now? They can if we verbally explode on them. RINOs are as timid as Democrats. The time for civility is past. This is a revolution.
Conservatives need to draw the line and fight this battle in New York. Even if it means letting the Democrat win the election. We have another shot at the seat in 2010 but we have only one chance to bring down the RINO RNC joke of an establishment. We need to fight this battle. Elect the conservative or show the RNC that we WILL NOT support Liberal Lite©
