		<description>She did conservatives averywhere a big favor.

The RINO-NC can&#039;t use her anymore

If s-fava had cried in her coffee she could have lived on the tv talk show circuit until the Presidential primaries talking down the conservatives and feeding doubts about her critics. She could have done a lot of PR hurt against the Tea Party crowd.

Fickle woman scorned chose a moment of stisfaction and removed her usefulness to the movement to shut down conservatives

Plus, I enjoyed her stupidity a whole lot. Yep</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I personally have found the story of upstate NY compelling. We had a woman, backed by the party GOP, endorsed first by major GOP voice on TV, recieving major GOP money……..totally blow it.
Unbelievable drama.
You could write this and sell it.
Nobody wants what the standard GOP is trying to sell.
Get a clue, buddies.

Nobody wants the politics of empowerment, that&#039;s why Hillary does chores for a better liar.  Welcome to equality.</description>

		<description>This surprises anyone who&#039;s paid attention to upstate NY Republican politics?  Two words:  Sherwood Boehlert.  When I was a teen growing up in Rome, NY I read the results of every roll call vote in which Boehlert participated.  The SOB should have caucused with the Dems.  The time to clean house in the Upstate NY Republican party is long past due.</description>

		<description>When you see people who SELF IDENTIFY themselves with names like “viking01” and “ultracon,” you just have to ask yourself; “WTF?”

Star20 on November 2, 2009 at 12:22 AM

Ftfy. 

Physician, heal thyself. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Has it ever struck you as ironic that you liberals have chosen an invective term that is only understood by your fellow deviants? You’ve got a great inside joke there, but unfortunately it’s an inside joke. 
Rational Thought on November 2, 2009 at 8:37 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Unfortunately, that little bit of media-fueled nastiness is not limited to obsessive news-watchers and hardcore gamers. You can thank them and them alone for polluting our culture (even more than usual) with the &#039;teabagger&#039; meme.</description>

		<description>What &quot;Fins&quot; and the other spammers will always try to deny is the symbolism of the pink(o) pantsuit (and high-chinned pose) as Hillary&#039;s uniform during the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy days of passing off Bubba&#039;s various perversions onto conspiracy theories. 



The Scozz is a Specteresque plant outed by Palin. I agree with earlier poster that Scozz would likely have changed party affiliation if elected and once the GOP had paid her campaign bills. The Scozz open obeisance to the DNC now that she&#039;s been outed as impostor is indicated by the pink pantsuit. The only other acceptable costume choice for the turncoat&#039;s announcement would have been Hillary&#039;s other famous symbolic costume... her famous Viet Cong black pajamas pantsuit.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What “indignities” did Scuzzyface suffer at Hoffman’s hands — other than having Hoffman (accurately) point out that she is further to the left than the Democratic candidate?

AZCoyote on November 2, 2009 at 7:35 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Which makes it likely that Dede and Hoffman have one thing in common: the propensity to support Owens in the event that either one had to drop out of the race!

&lt;blockquote&gt;Here is the question that needs to be asked. &lt;strong&gt;How big is the Republican tent?&lt;/strong&gt; At some point it will break apart if you keep stretching to meet every odd ball and leftist.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What does this have to do with being closed-minded and seeing that as a virtue?

Grow Fins on November 2, 2009 at 12:54 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
How about being open-minded about torturing children? Beating your wife with a metal pipe? Concentration camps and gulags? Yes, by all means, lets be open-minded about every conceivable thing.

Open-mindedness is not a virtue, schmuck.</description>

What does this have to do with being closed-minded and seeing that as a virtue?</description>

		<description>Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the RNC itself must be held-up in a corner of some remote cave, licking their political wounds.

And let&#039;s not forget &lt;a href=&quot;http://hotair.com/archives/2009/10/20/gingrich-on-endorsing-scozzafava-i-know-im-right/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Newt Gingrich&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;....Who shocked conservative circles around the country when he endorsed Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 congressional race. Scozzafava, who even by modern definitions is so left of center that she barely falls into the category of &quot;RINO&quot;, was endorsed by all the above...Newt, the NRCC, the NRSC and Michael Steele of the RNC. As &lt;a href=&quot;http://michellemalkin.com/2009/10/27/yes-newt-the-gop-should-be-purged-of-left-wing-saboteurs/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Michelle Malkin put it&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:
(snip)

&lt;blockquote&gt;Scozzafava isn’t just “anybody who doesn’t agree with us 100 percent.”

She’s an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://michellemalkin.com/2009/10/16/an-acorn-friendly-big-labor-backing-tax-and-spend-radical-in-gop-clothing/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ACORN-Friendly, Big Labor-Backing, Tax-and-Spend, Margaret Sanger Award-Winning Radical in GOP Clothing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; — a &lt;a href=&quot;http://michellemalkin.com/2009/10/27/look-what-scozzafavas-favorite-acorn-front-group-is-up-to-now/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;left-wing saboteur&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; who seeks to marginalize mainstream conservatism with conservatives’ own money.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

(Click the purple links in the quote above for more info....)

I wonder if &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.redstate.com/erick/2009/11/01/scozzafava-throws-support-to-the-democrat/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Scozzafava&#039;s endorsement of the &lt;em&gt;democrat&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; still in the running against Doug Hoffman finally taught the supposed GOP leadership a lesson?

Let&#039;s hope so...Because the &quot;Scozzafava Affair&quot; has become a modern-day version of &quot;The Shot Heard &#039;Round The World&quot; for the GOP establishment.

No longer will we blindly accept the crap you&#039;re shovelin&#039;!
No longer will we embrace and mimic (even to a small degree) the stances and ideology of the left, in order to bring those who claim they are &quot;moderate&quot; into the &quot;big tent&quot; of the GOP.

No sir...No Ma&#039;am!
That ends here.

And the rebuilding begins....Now!
If you&#039;re not going to pony-up and lead the party by effectively communicating politically conservative ideology to the voting populace, then get out of the way, and let &quot;nature&quot; take its course! We&#039;ll pick the leaders, campaign for them, donate time and money to them, and tell &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOU&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to support them! Remember, that&#039;s how this &quot;game&quot; is supposed to be played?!

Newt had it all wrong on Scozzafava.
We can no longer look at charts and statistics and say &lt;em&gt;&quot;well, this candidate more closely represents what the numbers indicate as being the political make-up of their district (or state)&quot;&lt;/em&gt;. Forget the numbers. Forget the charts. Forget the stats. Why not try what works....Actual politically conservative ideals!

I shouldn&#039;t have to list these, but I will:

-Lower taxes
-Less government
-More individual freedom

I could go on, but I think the point is made.


If the &quot;Tea Parties&quot; did one thing for the conservative (and moderate) voting population in this country, it allowed civic-minded people of all ages and backgrounds to get a refresher course on just how our system of government is supposed to work. It allowed them to see that things haven&#039;t been right for a long long time, and obama is but a small cog in the huge &quot;wheel&quot; of a political machinery gone wrong. No no...This voter angst has been building for quite some time, and obama and those who share his ideology simply provided the &quot;steam&quot; needed to finally awaken the &quot;conservative giant&quot; from its fitfull slumber.

Those &quot;Tea Parties&quot; and townhall events are political &quot;pressure valves&quot;, where those who are tired of being ignored, belittled, and betrayed by most elected officials in Washington, can give voice to their concerns, frustrations and calls for action!

Even before a ballot is cast in the November 2009 elections, the &quot;Scozzafava Affair&quot; will go down in history as being the &quot;warning shot&quot; put across the &quot;bow&quot; of the supposed GOP &quot;leadership&quot;.

For those within GOP &quot;leadership&quot; positions or PAC&#039;s...Take the hint....This is only the beginning.


We&#039;re paying attention.
We&#039;re marking the time.
And we vote...According to conservative ideals, and not those of our supposed leadership. And the more you castigate those who even &lt;em&gt;lean&lt;/em&gt; to the right for not doing as you say, the more you&#039;ll prove &lt;em&gt;yourselves&lt;/em&gt; unworthy of the votes and money you cannot operate without.


Can you hear us now?
Dede Scozzafava can....</description>
