Politico's Allen: Hoffman Victory Would Sow GOP 'Chaos'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/28/2009 7:27:30 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Mike Allen has tried to throw a bucket of cold water on Doug Hoffmann's candidacy. Again. Yesterday, as noted here, Allen said Republicans would be "crazy" and "suicidal" to support the conservative in the special congressional election in New York's 23rd CD. Today, Politico's chief political correspondent has claimed that a Hoffman victory would spell "chaos" in Republican ranks.

And check the video for Mike Barnicle making an elitist crack about the upstate NY district, and Chuck Todd trying to embarrass RNC Chairman Michael Steele . . .

View video here.

I think the GOP could use a little chaos about now.

I highly recommend calls to the RNC, the leadership of the GOP, Republican Council, and Newt’s group to tell them in a few choice words what we think of their RINO support.

I actually think it's the exact opposite. It would bring tremendous clarity and focus to a party that has been wandering philosophically for far too long. All the candidates in next year's primaries - even Democrats - would move to the right. If an unabashed conservative can win in upstate New York, they can win practically anywhere.

The media knows this, especially Politico, and it makes them tremble in fear - a conservative, revitalized and effective Republican Party is the last thing they want.

The only “chaos” would be the monumental fear and terror for the various assorted RINOs and DIABLOs!

Chaos is good in this case. It leads to new organization.

correct

since when did republicans stand for homo marriage, abortion, higher taxes, card check bigger Govt etc.

The north east GOP and around this country have been for years pulling away from core principles because they think it will bring in some lefty when it will not

Politico is trying hard to replace MSNBC as the propaganda organ of the Democrat Party.

It would not bring chaos! It would bring clarity and that’s what frightens Mike Allen!

I find the faux concern about the fate of the GOP to be amusing. Obviously, the Dems fear a conservative takeover of the machinery of the GOP because they realize that 40% of Americans self describe themselves as conservative and only 20% are liberal. A Hoffman victory would send out shockwaves among both the Rep and Dem parties.
