The republican party left me, I didn't leave the republican party.
The NY Post said Scozzafava is the hand-picked candidate of former state GOP chairman Joseph Mondello and we have Newt as a subversive as well. When this ends Newt and Mondello will not have changed and will still be silently working in background of the party machinery undermining conservatism. Scozzafava is a puppet to these people. They intentionally hide themselves (Mondello) and/or their backroom deals (Newt?). Until the majority of these DIABLOs are PURGED, conservatism will lose to their picking the candidates: McCain, Scozzafava et al. How it is to come about I don’t know but the party machinery has to have a massive purging of these background figures because they are operating with impunity and feel secure in their anonymity.
