"Today, I again seek to act for the good of our community,"
"It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so. I am and have always been a proud Republican. It is my hope that with my actions today, my party will emerge stronger and our district and our nation can take an important step towards restoring the enduring strength and economic prosperity that has defined us for generations."
The Hillmans, The Rockefellers, The McCains, ANYONE who is even CLOSE to being a RINO must understand... the era of RINO'S is OVER!
A vote for a RINO is a vote for rat. No more reaching across the aisle!

the RIGHT thing would have been to tell your followers to vote for Hoffman......she stopped short of that.
Folks, Owens has won it.
Most of her supporters will NOT go to Hoffman. PERIOD.
Well Newt has lost all credibility as far as I am concerned! I firmly believe he has aspirations of being President and wants to to stay in the game no matter what he has to do!

Some things are understood, unsaid.
Apparently, she wouldn’t want to meet YOU in a dark alley, would she?
Just remember this: Celebrate thuggery!!
Exactly. Should we send a thank you note to Richard Viguerie, et al?
I doubt it........Thursday she had her “people” flashing an email about claiming Hoffman pledged to support her.....and today she just quits.......days before she loses the election anyway. She did NOT tell her supporters to switch to Hoffman and it cannot reasonably be assumed she meant that. She would just rather give her concession now than on election night. She hasn’t a snowballs chance in hell of winning and she knows it. She is already licking her wounds.
PASS THE WORD CONSERVATIVES Tea partiers, 9/12 marchers, pro-lifers, defense of marriage; 2nd amendment, anti ObamaCare;anti-amnesty;anti cap/trade.
These are the terms under which we permit solid conservatives to earn our support:
(1) Your conservative group holds an official position within the campaign;
(2) Your group's issue is affirmed in the candidate's platform;
(3) Your group is in attendance at all campaign strategy meetings;
(4) Your group holds a paid job in the campaign;
(5) Your group holds a position in the winning candidate's elective office.
(6) The candidate must renounce RINOS and pukeneos before he gets conservative endorsement.
As liberal as she is, I think it’s better that she keeps her mouth shut. That’s my opinion...and I sticking with it. LOL!
I have seen this before, and frankly it is textbook.
When the moderate Republican drops out and does not emphatically endorse the conservative candidate, her supporters largely default to the Dem candidate.
That’s going to happen. Considering how tight a race it is, that is a defining point and will almost assuredly win the race for Hoffman.
I think the Independents will win or lose this one. I hope they start falling in line with Hoffman. Any defectors from the left will certainly switch back to Owens. The party regulars - both officials and voters will turn to Hoffman. Just depends. I am rooting for Hoffman to pull this one out.
No, she dropped out to give Owens a win.
There is no way hoffman will win when she didn’t tell her supporters to vote for him but left it open.
Dede was NOT a moderate.
Hopefully, her backers will be furious with her and break for Hoffman. She dumped them, not the other way around.
Beware violations of the Voting Rights Act, however, even if only in the leftist imagination. They’d love to pin that one on conservatives.
Just wondering...maybe if we were to put in a call to Germany...Could we get them to take ours?
