After seeing the handwriting on the wall, liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for upstate New York's 23rd Congressional District seat.She made the decision after seeing the latest polling data that showed she had fallen well behind her two competitors in a close race.The Siena College poll has Democrat Bill Owens picking up 36 percent of the vote, while Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman has 35 percent. Scozzafava has 20 percent, with nine percent of voters undecided.
Though they had originally refused to support him and aligned themselves steadfastly behind Scozzafava (despite her long history of supporting liberal causes), House Minority Leader John Boehner, Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia and NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions announced their endorsement for Hoffman shortly after Scozzafava dropped out of the race.
"He is the only active candidate in the race who supports lower taxes, fiscal responsibility and opposes Nancy Pelosi's agenda of government-run healthcare, more government and less jobs," they said.
"We look forward to welcoming Doug Hoffman into the House Republican Conference as we work together for the good of our nation," they added.
Good Job! I am a registered Republican however I belong to the Conservative Party and proud of it. I hope in time we can get rid of all the RINO's and bring back the real Republican Party!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Republicans of the NY 23rd District send a clear message to the whole Nation -- No RINOs Allowed!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat with the 4:20 PM poster -- Republican, but heavily leaning toward the Conservative Party. We might split the vote, by I sleep well at night knowing that I can vote my values.
4:20

4:20 do you have an example or are you just doing what your drive by media does ?
ReplyDeleteAnother chapter in the implosion of the (former) party of Lincoln!
