Newt backed Scozzafava in NY 23 and we lost because of it. The “Republican” Scozzafava backed out and campaigned for the Democrat.
Newt not only backed Scozzafava, but when other Republicans and conservatives rebuked her candidacy, he dug in and got defensive about it. He made a mistake and went party over principle. And this in the face of a bonifide conservative candidate who was electable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I’ve heard about it ad nauseam from Frantzie and another guy.
My question to them was and still IS....why the hell aren’t you blaming the NRCC/RNC? Why JUST the vitriol targeting and blaming Newt?
Hannity asked Newt about the Dede fiasco. His answer was that he didn’t pick her. His job was to support whomever WAS picked/chosen, which he did. And yet, everyone’s blaming Newt but NOT the idiot GOPers that picked her and handed her almost $1 million of Republican donations in the process.
I just want to know WHY nobody’s blaming the guilty. Those that picked her.
