Scozzafava Endorses Democrat After Dropping Out of N.Y. Congressional Race
Fox News ^ | 11/01/09

Posted on 11/01/2009 11:45:14 AM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

Republican Dede Scozzafava endorsed her former Democratic opponent Sunday in the race for an upstate New York congressional seat, one day after Scozzafava dropped out of the contest.

Scozzafava dropped out after Conservative Party candidate Dough Hoffman experienced a late-in-the-game surge. But on Sunday, Scozzafava backed Democrat Bill Owens -- the announcement was made in a statement send out by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

"I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same," she said. "In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York. Bill understands this district and its people, and when he represents us in Congress he will put our interests first."

Have you ever seen how they operate! They were probably all drunk!

Not really. Last time I worked on a campaign, I was a lowly, teenaged door knocker.

That's about to change, though. I've got decades to make up for, and feel that I (like many in my generation) am partially to blame for the acursed state of our country.

I pledged to send her a dozen Krispy Kremes if she dropped out. I am breaking my pledge now.

You don't have to break your pledge, just change it to rat droppings.

Things will become clearer with RINOS

Things will become clearer with RINOs if Hoffman wins.

If Hoffman loses, it will show that a "true conservative" can't win a 100-year GOP district under extremely favorable circumstances, meaning that the "dump the RINOs" program is misguided and foolish.

What a test! And we get to find out the answer in 48 hours!

“Republican Dede Scozzafava endorsed her former Democratic opponent Sunday in the race for an upstate New York congressional seat, one day after Scozzafava dropped out of the contest.”

Another reliable “moderate”. And we need them in the party because?

These people can always be counted on to disappoint when the rubber meets the road. They are nothing but liberal Democrats who can’t bring themselves to say it out loud.

before we carry this celebration too far.........Hoffman qualifies as a RINO on the immigration issue. while he is the preferred candidate, he is not as conservative as I am.

Judas got 30 pieces of silver for walking up to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemenae and kissing him on the cheek. Judas, later, fell into a field, and his guts burst.
