If Hoffman doesn't win the GOP primary, it's not the end of the world. The GOP nominee could be a turkey with scandals in the closet or commit major errors campaigning. NY needs the Conservative Party because its GOP is pretty lousy, IMHO.
Just wait for it. Soon you will hear from all the anti-liberals here saying that you must vote GOP! That voting conservative is for losers.
(Anti-liberal: Someone who acts exactly as a liberal does, but with a idealogy 180 degrees in opposition. Those who believe the government should step in to control peoples behavior on social issues would be a good example. For it is exactly the same as a progressive liberal, but with a different ideology.)
You know, if Rubio takes the nomination... the GOP will probably cut off all funding for his race in spite. They would rather have a Democrat in power than a conservative.
It’s happened before.
“NY needs the Conservative Party because its GOP is pretty lousy, IMHO”
I can’t debate that point at all. I’m glad the Conservative party exists and that they are no longer rolling over for the GOP.
My point comes from living in a conservative district (NY-29) and being saddled with a D who does not represent me and publicly professed an intention to vote against his constiuents whenever he feels like it. I don’t like it, and should Hoffman do what he plans to do it has a likelyhood of turning out that way, just as it did in the special election because when we are united we stand and divided we fall.
The Conservative Party and the GOP need to come to terms because they need each other in order to prevail. Hoffman’s approach seems more like a scortched earth policy that loses sight of the things that really matter, like what the voters want and what they get at the end. If he really wants a seat that badly he should go do this in his own district and leave the NY-23 folks to sort things out for themselves.
The only GOP left who are supporting Crist is the State Party, however after having the head thrown out about three months ago, while Crist got to pick his replacement, they are pretty much a joke in the State with the local precincts holding control.
The National GOP is giving lip service to Crist but no financial help.
Rubio on the other hand is racking in the big bucks, taking endorsements from Crist plus making many on his own and has the support of the local precincts.
The only way Rubio loses to Crist is if it turns out Marc is a cross-dressing, homosexual who spent his time cruising for men in Tampa bars. Oh sorry, turns out that was Charlie!!
I think the poster was speaking of the pub leaders nuking Rubio in the general election.
Yes, they eat their own.
Check out the video link on this thread.
Rubio will not go quietly into that good night.

unless the locals are going to shove the RINOs in a car trunk and drive them off a bridge, the RNC bosses are still going to promote/endorse who they want... which is the problem and the point.
Sweet.
Thanks!
Crist soon to be Crisp
In your face RNC.
The whole point of the post was explaining what had to be done to get rid of the bosses. SHEEZE!!!
We'll see. It will certainly be a test of the RNC's interest in winning.
While of course I want to see a conservative retake the seat,if we are successful, it will only be a one-term wonder. NY will lose 2 CD,s after the 2010 census, and since the Dems control Albany, be assured that that this seat will be redistricted out of existence.
