   What good is an opposition party that keeps promoting its own worst opponents?

   Indeed, what good is any party — in power or in opposition — that not only can’t distinguish itself from the other guys, but seems to think that the path to victory lies in becoming more like them?

   You know, I almost hope Sarah Palin doesn’t endorse Hoffman in this. Hoffman is doing best when the media is forced to focus on the many embarassments of the Scozzafava campaign. I fear the (hostile) media circus that Palin always attracts will divert the public attention from the complete joke that is Dede.

    I suspect they all would sell out America at the first opportunity if it benefited them personally. Many in the AMA, Big Pharma, Big Insurance, and Big Industry have already tipped their gutless hands when they thought they might be spared the Marxists noose. They are immoral jackals, more than willing to sell out their country.

    He believes that a win for Scozzafava is a win for a 2010 Republican majority.

    WRONG!

    A win for Scozzafava is a loss for the Republican party. Why? Because:

    1) She would vote like Walter Jones, who is a “Republican” (RINO) from NC and almost always votes with the Democrats. What good would it do to build a “Republican majority” that has so many RINOs in it that the Democratic Socialists are the ones still in power?

    2) Voters will only reward the Republican party when the Republican Party and its candidates support Conservative values. RINOs do not win, as clearly shown by John McCain. The only reason McCain did not do even worse is because he had Palin as his VP.

    Newt just doesn’t get it. He thinks a win for a RINO is a win for the Republican party. The reality is that a win for RINO is a win for Kos and a loss for the Repubican party.

    The only way for a true win in this race is a win for Hoffman.

I know part of the story as recited by MM, but I would like to see a complete summary.

    It would take more than an article. Legally go back to the efforts by Lincoln to “preserve the union” through the centralization of federal powers. Look at the influx of socialist programs between 1913 and the cackle of congress critters in the 1933 congress. Look at the subsequent promise of the proverbial forty acres and a mule to everyone who would quit their job and become a strain on the working man. Look at the influx of communist and socialist ideologies as it began to take over academia, hollywood, the press and other industries during the late 50s until it became relatively mainstream in the seventies to the accepted norm in the nineties. Follow through with the failed policies of Bush, a Republican house that refused to act like the winners they were and the resulting introduction of a democrat congress in 2006 who did act like winners and push their own legislation all the while blaming Bush who signed this asinine legislation under some misguided attempt at bipartisan support. Look at an uneducated general populace who staunchly believed their indoctrination from academia, believed that they had legal and constitutional rights to welfare and other methods of wealth redistribution and also believed (in their hearts) that Bush really was responsible for their ills and Dems would give them the rich man’s wealth in exchange for their compliance. Follow through to the election of a radical community organizer who could stabilize the divided groups and through the use of class and socio-political warfare turn them against any effort by anyone to enlighten them with facts, help them to see that they were just as capable of succeeding as the next guy if only they would work for it and show them that they could do better if they had to be responsible … and then watched as they chose instead to remain ignorant and apathetic in the name of getting something for free and you pretty much have a wrap of American society today. Still, to put it down in detail would take a small book at best.

    If you are serious, let me know. Not that I have ever looked at it in-depth or anything.

    Um, last election. Taking it back? That’s gonna mean more like me have to leave first.

    WE are doing it. At a time when the GOP is increasingly hamstrung in its efforts to raise money, we are forcing them to spend big gobs of it on this race. NY-23 used to be a slam dunk for the GOP and so, inexpensive.

    If either Hoffman or the Dem win, they will have lost an important and pivotal battle. The next confrontation between them and us conservatives will be even more costly for them but cheaper and this trend will grow as we gain momentum. The GOP cannot last long if we start stringing up victories.

    It’s like I keep saying, it is very expensive to sell cancer. No one in their right mind wants it. The cure may also be expensive but it is easier to raise money for. They are the cancer, we are the cure and the issues are gelling in the minds of the American voter because of NY-23. This could be where the dam of resistance to the will of the voters is finally burst.

    If it weren’t so important, why would the RNC be wasting so much money for one insignificant race? Why is it important for them to win it with a radical left-wing liberal?

    Palin won’t endorse Hoffman. It’d finish her with the Republican “establishment”.

    I don’t think she cares about the establishment. I certainly don’t if all they can give us are Libs Lite.

    BTW….Palin endorsed Hoffman tonight.

    Support Doug Hoffman

    The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now.

    The votes of every member of Congress affect every American, so it’s important for all of us to pay attention to this important Congressional campaign in upstate New York. I am very pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next Representative from New York’s 23rd Congressional district. It’s my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law.

    Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a “time for choosing.”

    The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise. Doug Hoffman is committed to ending the reckless spending in Washington, D.C. and the massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government. He is also fully committed to supporting our men and women in uniform as they seek to honorably complete their missions overseas.

    And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.

    Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty.

    Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of “blurring the lines” between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party’s ticket.

    Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support for Doug Hoffman: no more politics as usual.

    You can help Doug by visiting his official website below and joining me in supporting his campaign:

    - Sarah Palin

    Political party means nothing if it’s not founded in anything…and if the establishment keep putting forward liberals for candidates, then I’ll follow Palin’s lead and support independent conservatives…that way, as Doug Hoffman puts it, at least conservatives have someone to vote for.

    Has anybody been to the RNC web site as of late? Pathetic. People post blog spots and there are hardly any responses. The most I think I have seen is 9.

    Epic failure. That is all the RNC is about and more proof is their support of liberals with “R’s” behind their names.

    Is there anything about the RNC that ISN’T PATHETIC? Seems unfair to single out their new web site.

    Good to know that the country is falling apart and Michael Steele is hard at work updating his web site…

    We are officially a one-party state. The good news is that there are three wings of the party: Maoists, Marxists and confused old men with annoying daughters…

    Gingrich will always think, understandably, as the Speaker of the House. In his mind, Scozzafava is one more link in the chain, with the goal of getting a majority… and all of the parliamentary benefits that go with it.

    It’s no different than him sitting on a couch with Pelosi. To him, this is just part of the “strange bedfellows” that politics require.

    What’s unfortunate isn’t that he’s horribly wrong, but that he’s horribly blind to his own mistake. Scozzafava’s negatives so grotesquely outweigh her one positive (her nominally being a Republican), it’s hard to defend Gingrich’s deep lack of judgement.

    He was already on very thin ice. At this point it’s hard to ever trust his wisdom as a leader again.

    I do not blame Dede or think she should withdraw, but the GOP sure needs to change if they have any hope of getting more members back. I finally changed my voter registration to decline to state last week.

    My endorsement of Dede Scozzafava in the special election for New York’s 23rd Congressional District is a means of regaining a conservative majority in America

    WOW.

    They just don’t get it.

    Supporting liberal republicans, growing government, and moving the party left was a way of maintaining a conservative majority… How’d that work, Newt?

    Conservatism within your party is all but dead and you want to resuscitate it by electing more left of center republicans. Real freaking smart. If Gingrich and his ilk is the best the rnc has to offer the party is finished.
