Deals with the devil - NY GOP's Dem-lite candidates
NY Post ^ | October 28, 2009 | Fredric U. Dicker

Posted on 10/28/2009 5:31:13 AM PDT by maggief

THE hard-fought battle be tween the left, the near-left and the right being waged in New York's 23rd Congressional District has attracted national attention because of its serious implications for scores of congressional races across the country next year.

The stakes for national Democrats and Republicans are enormous. The three-way North Country contest is a referendum on President Obama's policies and on the GOP's willingness to back RINO (Republican In Name Only) candidates in traditionally moderate-to-conservative districts.

As a campaign volunteer working for Doug Hoffman in Madison County, I can tell you the anger towards the Republican Party leaders is abundant.
If you value the conservative principles of less deficit, less big government, please go to the polls Tuesday and vote for Hoffman. We will need every vote we can get.

Nothing "lite" about DeDe, either in politics or person.

Micheal Steele was in a setting where he felt at home today, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe without Joe. Steele and all the libs were very comfortable.

Steele reiterated his strong backing for Scuzzyphobia.

We here in California are watching this race closely because we have been down the path of moderation and loss for many years, and it is high time something changes. So my prayers are with Doug Hoffman and his supporters. If you guys pull this off, it will be a clarion call to all conservatives across America that says “Yes We Can”, when we want to put a conservative in power we can do it.

Go Hoffman, Go!

battle between the left, the near-left and the right being waged in New York

They must be referring to the democrat as the "near left" because the republican is as left as they come.

Joe Scarborough is not a Republican or a conservative. So not sure why it would matter if he was on the show today or not. Sure he pretends to be a conservative, and has a few phony lines that he uses that might fool some. He is a liberal Democrat

I’m glad to hear from someone on the ground up there. I think that this is a tremendously important race for the GOP. We’re fighting for the heart and soul of this party, not just this seat. This morning I heard Newt on Bill Bennet’s show...he’s still claiming the moral high ground because he’s with the people of the district in this race! LOL! Newt’s lost his way...big time.

“Joe Scarborough is not a Republican or a conservative. So not sure why it would matter if he was on the show today or not. “

Joe is the embodiment of Steven Colbert. Joe does conservatism as schtick. But, Joe would challenge Steele on things, which would make Steele uncomfortable.

However, we all know Joe’s agenda, #1 - make money for Joe, #2 - please his liberal masters, which facilitates #1.

I like what Mark Steyn called her “ Diablo “ democrat in all but label only. We’ve got way too many of them here in Calif.

Best of luck to all of you in New York.

Posting this to all pertinent threads, so these folks can no longer hide behind a faceless organization while they do their dirty work. The NRCC is doing *more* damage than Gingrich and even Steele. And they're doing it mostly behind the scenes -- Gingrich and Steele don't have to get re-elected next year, and every member of the NRCC executive committee does.

With that, I give you:

Photobucket

The National Republican Congressional Committee

Rep. John Carter, TX (in pic, far left)

Rep. Eric Cantor, VA (third from left)

Rep. John Boehner, OH (fourth from left)

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, WA

Rep. Pete Sessions, TX (sixth from left)

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, MI (not pictured)

Note: Rep. Mike Pence, second from left, strenuously objected to Scozzafava, and refused to endorse her or send her money. In retaliation, pro-leftist house members like those above anonymously told reporters that Pence isn't supporting Dede because he's anti-woman.

No problem. Just calling them as I see them. However, I’m not always as clear as I’d like to be. It’s the nature of the beast.
