The friends of Dede Scozzafava

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 22, 2009 09:27 AM

Judge the Margaret Sanger award winner by the company she keeps:

Fundraising reports for all the candidates in the New York special election are due today, but the candidates have been required to report all donations above $1,000 in the final weeks of the race.

And, to get a sense why conservatives have been so cool to her campaign, Republican Dede Scozzafava’s recent financial support has come primarily from abortion rights groups, labor unions and the National Education Association.

This week, Scozzafava received $1,000 from the Planned Parenthood PAC and $2,500 from the New York Choice PAC. The International Longshoreman’s Association and the United Transportation Union PAC each chipped in $2,500, while the local International Brotherhood of Electric Workers gave her $1,000. The National Education Association’s political action committee spent $5,000 for her campaign, while a renewable energy association donated $2,000.

    OBAMA: Sometimes Democrats can be their own worst enemies. Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know the other side, they just kind of do what they’re told. Democrats, ya’ll thinkin’ for yourselves. I like that in you, but it’s time for us to make sure that we finish the job here, we are this close and we’ve got to be unified.

    Morning all, saw this on Drudge this morning as sure most people here did. Still LMAO, Repubs only do what they are told, but remember dems, do what I tell you to. Thought if you did not see it you could use a good laugh for the day. Obama is the biggest weenie I think this country has ever had the misfortune to have been tricked into electing. Saw you on F&F this morning MM, great job as always.

    Already, the dems are moving in on pay restrictions; starting at the top and moving down. Now the FDA will have the right to recall food, on its own. Boy, does that open a “can of worms”! If they don’t like the food, recall it. I wonder if any one of the dems read about Hoover/FDR and the fiasco of trying to “help” the economy of the ’30s? I guess they have. They’re doing exactly what they did.

    I heard Doug Hoffman on Levin last night. He is not slick. He is pretty plain spoken but, he is holding the conservative standard in a liberal stronghold. This man deserves the support from the Republican leadership and the RNC. If a third party takes root in this country it will be because the RNC has it’ head up it’s ass.

    Yep.

    When you are meretricious, and will do anything, even sell your soul, for money; well,….

    As has been said before, meretricious is derived from “meretrix”, which is Latin for “prostitute”.

    There’s a reason for using the term, “We are so screwed.”

    Can you guess how the Devil expects to collect?
    (I would guess metaphorically, not literally; but, who knows with power-hungry statists, collectivists, opposite-worldview holders, etc.)

    No, zyzzyg. Usually, it does not. Read chapter 2, Reputations, from Dr. John Lott’s book Freedom-nomics to understand. He shows that political candidates will vote the way they’ve always voted, even if they’re lame ducks. Which pretty much disproves the myth of “buying” a politician.

    However, what Dr. Lott does say is that most organizations will only donate to politicians that vote their way.

    So, in the case of Dede Scozzafava, you see the rule proved; liberal organizations are donating to her campaign because her vote history is in line with their beliefs.

    Which is why conservatives should have nothing to do with her.

    Upstate NY, especially the North Country, isn’t a “liberal stronghold”. It’s probably the most conservative area of New York.

    Um… There are no black children in NY 23.

    I knew exactly one going to high school.

    he is holding the conservative standard in a liberal stronghold

    HAHAHAHA!!! Liberal stronghold! You should get up there sometime and visit all those ultraliberal Mennonites and dairy farmers I grew up with.

    Honestly. The Democratic party in my county doesn’t even have a website. Mainly because it consists of one family. So I suppose they can exchange whatever information they need to at the dinner table.

    What a silly person for the NY Republican party to even have as a member. What other Republicans does she associate with there? Is she a part of the Republican party decision making process? Has she helped other Republicans in local elections? Looks like the NY Republican party has many of the same problems that the Cal party has.

    And that’s how it should be! :lol:

    On the other hand, with Republicans like this, who needs a Democrat Party.

    The Margaret Sanger award winner Dede Scozzafava already got rid of them? Thanks for the info Chappy.

    Now NY 23 needs to send Dede Scozzafava to Massachusetts, or NYC–we need to keep all these Leftist in Isolated, Desolate areas.

    I don’t understand people’s fixation with Newt Gingrich. Maybe they don’t understand where Newt is coming from. Newt is a political “game-player”. He can sound great at times, but then he can also be the biggest sell-out because to him, politics is nothing more than a “big game”.

    Newt gets up each morning and puts on whichever political “hat” he wants to wear for the day, and then goes about trying to draw attention to himself to maintain his “celebrity” status.

    Underneath it all he doesn’t believe a word of what he says. People just think he does. When 5 o’clock rolls around, Newt takes off the chosen “hat” and goes back to being Newt – a person more interested in himself and furthering his personal finances.

    Here in Hawaii where most people are Dems – politicians all run as Dems no matter what they believe, because it’s all about them and winning. NY-23 sounds like the reverse to me, most people are Republicans, so even the crazy lefties run as Rs – since it’s all about them and winning.

    U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Fla., will stop at Phoebe’s Restaurant, Canton, on Saturday in support of Dede Scozzafava, the Republican and Independence parties candidate for the 23rd Congressional District.
