Scozzafava Declares Herself Part of Abramoff Wing of GOP: Funnels Campaign Cash to Family
Red State ^ | 10/23/09 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 10/23/2009 12:22:28 PM PDT by ellery

Jack Abramoff, present jailbird, was convicted of all sorts of crooked schemes. One of his favorites was to funnel money through various organizations into the hands of other people.

It appears Dede Scozzafava is funneling RNC, NRCC, and donor dollars through her campaign account to her family.

Dede Scozzafava is or was until recently the Chief Operating Officer of her brother’s company.

Her company’s key subsidiaries have accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal tax liens. As of July 13, 2009 – or less than a week ago – three of Dede’s businesses have $192,000 in outstanding liens.

Dede’s brother is Thomas W. Scozzafava and he is married to Pearl Han Ashcraft.

Dede Scozzafava’s campaign has paid $3750.00 in disclosed expenses to Pearl Han Productions, LLC for “Strategic Consulting,” the most bland of descriptions.

Here’s where it gets interesting.

Given the campaign’s propensity to file false police reports against reporters, I have no doubt this was intentionally designed to obfuscate what is going on.

On Scozzafava’s disclosures, Pearl Han Productions, LLC is located at 2001 S.E. Sailfish Pt. Blvd. #112, Stuard, NY 34996. There is just one problem. No such place exists.

What does exist, however, is 2001 S.E. Sailfish Pt. Blvd. #112, Stuart, FL 34996, a beautiful ocean front condo.

At that address, you’ll find Pearl Han Productions, LLC, incorporated in the State of Florida. (PDF). The person in charge is Pearl Ashcraft, Dede’s sister-in-law.

And if you think all that is too much of a coincidence, or maybe you think the campaign disclosure had just an innocent typo as to the address, consider this fact: Pearl Han Productions, LLC was not incorporated in the State of Florida until after the New York Republican Party made Dede Scozzafava its nominee.

Scozzafava was chosen on August 19, 2009, and eight days later on August 27, 2009, Pearl Han Productions, LLC was filed with the Secretary of State and reviewed a day later by that office.

Scozzafava doesn’t look to be just an ACORN candidate, but also more and more looks like an Abramoff Republican.

Great Work!!!

Lesson I learnd evaluating the "truth" behind the claims made by folks who owed lots and lots of money was to always check their addresses.

You would not believe......

Well, anyway, now everybody can believe.

One more step, is this "Scozzafava" name really from Souvrn' Italy? Sure does sound like it!

Fact, Abramhoff PACS gave 58% to Democrats 42% to Republicans

I agree the media was able to spin Abramoff as a GOP scandal. But that should never be used to excuse the corrupt pubbies who crawled into bed with him.

Now that looks dirty. I hope the FEC and the NY AG is made aware of this. Someone should “leak” it to the local media, tell them its their chance to bust a dirty crooked Republican.

Newt was in North Texas for a book signing and found a hostile crowd. He still defended Scuzzy.

I apologize to anyone I criticized for saying Newt wasn’t a solid conservative. You were right. He’s good on some issues, but he’s essentially a sellout.

Ignore the facts, MNJohnnie, just as you always do...there are plenty of sources, so don’t pull that old kill the messenger crappola. Abramoff was scum, he was loved by Bush’s people. FACT.

Yeah when Newt was fooling around with his current wife while married to his ex-wife while the Clinton impeachment hearings were going on, it was quite dicey.

Both of you are right. Abramhoff played both sides of the fence. His political philosophy was the ‘wallet wing’- he leaned whichever way made his wallet heavier.

Boy, did you drink the Kool aid! This is why the GOP can’t rid itself of corruption.

Sorry, no. Abramoff was a Democrat. Go look up his record. He set up shop offering access to Democrat members of Congress. That was his gig.

And the GOP's corruption has less to do with lobbying and everything to do with northeast elitists who are more than happy to dole out patronage jobs from a small fiefdom rather than defeat Democrats to enact an agenda.

Sailfish Point is an exclusive, armed guard( mostly retired cops), cameras, gated patrolled community. Uber exclusive. ( Nice new club house too).

Picture shows the Point. (A) is the Condo building. My guess, near to over a mil, maybe less, now a days. Hugh fees.

Has everyone seen this: “The Most Important Number in Politics Today.”

Doug Hoffman is the Conservative alternative in this race (or Hoffman by PayPal).

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. Mark Steyn has coined the term DIABLO for her and others like her. Democrat In All But Label Only.

There are also at least 17 unprincipled DIABLO enablers in the house who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Sessions, Hensarling, Brown-Waite and McCotter. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These unprincipled enablers should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year. Also, perhaps those of us who donated to the RNC or RCCC should ask for our money back so we can support the conservative candidates of our choice.

More threads ...
From the desk of
cc2k:
I support Doug Hoffman for Congress (PayPal).

Please, spread the word about this important election on November 3, 2009 in New York’s 23rd congressional district.
