The Taliban Party continues its downfall
It will be funny to see the reaction when Owens wins."
_____________________________________________
Hoffman said it last week:
"I'm fighting for the heart and soul of the Republican Party. I believe the people in Washington, and the overwhelming response that I've been getting nationally from individuals, is showing that a lot of people feel like it's time for the Republican Party to go back to its base."
And almost ALL Conservatives support Hoffman in this.
Republican Party RINOs will learn the hard way that we are the base of the Republican Party...and we don't want any more Scozzafavas and other liberal-leaning Republicans.
1. If Dem. Bill Owens wins in a district where Republicans haven't lost in more than a century- it will be an embarrassment for the Republican Party - not Conservatives. If they want to back candidates just as liberal as Barack H. Obama...who needs a Republican?
WE DON'T WANT NO REPUBLICAN PARTY LIBERAL "PROGRESSIVES" just because they have an "R" in front of their names!
And the question for the Republican Party will be, "Can you hear us NOW?"
2. If Hoffman wins as a Conservative over a liberal Democrat AND a liberal Republican= Conservatism wins.
Again, it will be an embarrassment for the Republican Party - not Conservatives. If they want to back candidates that are just as liberal as Barack Obama...who needs a Republican?
And again, the question for the Republican Party will be, "Can you hear us NOW?"
If the Republican Party wants to remain relevant it will listen to US in what WE want the Party to look like..not the other way around.
This isn't about the Republican Party winning.
This is about Conservatives taking back the Republican Party from the RINOs.
...and it's working...much to the chagrin of Obamabots, like you.

"The problem in this race is that she was the only one of the three to have actually served the area. Mr. Hoffman only moved into the district to obtain a seat and is likely to be seen as a counterpart to Eric Massa..."
______________________________________________
Lie.
Newt tried to cheap-shot Hoffman on the residence thing. Not even Hoffman's opponents give him a hard time about that.
Hoffman was born and raised in Saranac Lake, in the 23rd district. He now lives in nearby Lake Placid, which was also in the 23rd district until it was gerry mandered out in 2001 to help out a fellow GOP'er in the 20th district.
Hoffman is a native of the area and says he will relocate the few miles necessary to put him back in the district if he's elected.

No one has to give Steele any slack...not only did he publicly endorse Dede, but he declared that the Republican party has to change and include pro-abortion and pro gay marriage politicians...so Steele would have the Republican party fuse with the Democrat party ... he has always been wishy washy...saying and doing the expedient thing...for himself. He has become inconsequential and has no significant future in the GOP...watch him latch on to the Dems...to try to keep his face on the news... |
|
A valid outcome and exposure for the world to see that conservatives are alive and well... Well we're pretty much at the end of our 'rope', have tied a knot in it, and are ready to 'swing' into action! PC is dead, RINO's-a good name for them with me being a hunter and a Marine-are far from being on the 'endangered list' but they can and will be put there by those of us willing to 'take a shot' at them and keep 'shooting' until they are a 'rare species'. For the rest of you reading these comments, know you are NOT ALONE!
Another Texas Marine, "Paying attention now? Hey John, we're talking to you and the KBH!" |

Steele should so what Dede did...bow out. He is incompetent and impotent. He declared that he had to support a pro abortion candidate, that the Republican party has to become more 'moderate'...rather more like the Democrat party if they want the 'power'...shame on Steele...he is a wimp and does not understand the American people...if he doesn't bow out by himself, he should be nudged to join the Democrat party which matches more his values...it is obvious that Steele is for himself. He has criticized pro abortion Catholic politicians...he is one of them and should remove himself from the party and from the Church... |

They will never get the 20% Radical Left Wing Socialist voters.
They can get the 10% left leaning GOP Vote.
But if they want the 40% Conservative Vote, they are going to have to elect real conservatives with real conservative values of less government, less taxes, and more respect for the people's right to decide their own future.
As for the independants, the GOP has to nominate candidates who convey conservative principles using a language independants understand. Indpendants are not politically engaged and often make up their minds the last few weeks before an election. |
|
|
It is laughable that Steele says the national arm of the Repub party can do nothing about a local nominee. BS. You think Pelosi and Emannuel felt helpless about "local" nominees? Steel just typified the modern wimpy man. The old timers woulda twisted some arms if need be. |
|
While I may hope that the Republicans will coalesce behind one candidate to win the North Country seat, the news that Mrs. Scozzafava is dropping out isn't a pleasant one.
The problem in this race is that she was the only one of the three to have actually served the area. Mr. Hoffman only moved into the district to obtain a seat and is likely to be seen as a counterpart to Eric Massa, the George Soros stooge who moved to Corning to pirate the Southern Tier representation in Congress. As for Mr. Owens, he suddenly realized he was a Democrat...more likely an opportunist who saw an opportunity to ride on Obama's coattails after another shill narrowly lost to the North Country candidate last time (I believe his name was Ort, but I'm not sure). This election is more of an indictment of the statewide Republican bosses who couldn't find a suitable candidate to run for the office and couldn't bring themselves to support a candidate who represented the region. It appears that Clueless Joe Bruno and his gang are still running the party. |

A Leadership Teaching Moment
The so-called leadership of the Republican Party should learn a lot of leassons from this. At the very least it should realize that to lead is not just to accept what comes out of the local hatcheries. It has to attempt to influence the events and outcome therefrom.
Michael Steele last week on the Hannity show opined that there was nothing the 'leadership' could do because Dede was locally selected by the people. Going forward, he could try adhering to certain core principles and try to influence the local events, for a change.
Kudos to all the personages who supported Hoffman from the get go out of principles.
========================================
... Another thing which needs to be done by Michael Steele and all who consider themselves Republican Party leaders...
I want all of them to take a shot at defining conservatism.
I've grown leary of these self declared "conservative" politicians. If you want my vote, step up and prove you have sense enough to lead. Show me you full well understand what being a conservative means. No more lip service.
For you see, Barack NObama is doing an excellent job of showing us all how he full well understands the definition of liberalism. |

"60% of respondents identified themselves as Conservative"
Self-identifying as conservative to a pollster isn't the same thing as voting or actually being conservative, not even close.
"Conservatives win every single time."
2008?
2006?
There have been a comfortable majority of self-identified conservatives for decades; ... and a great many Democratic congressmen and even some Democratic presidents elected. |
|
Dede may have "pulled" out, but she is still playing politics....
-she was NOT outspent
-she pulled out late enough to confuse voters and split the "Republican" vote
-she did NOT come-out and throw her support behind Doug
-she did not "offer' HIM ANY MONEY...
If the Republican leadership has any self -respect they will denounce her publicly and send a message to the rest of the Progressives hiding in the GOP:failure to do this will force me to put my energy and money to third party. |

You're exactly right! They're looking for the stupidest Republican leader they can find. Right now, as we speak. Michael Steele is one who I expect to see get a grilling tomorrow morning. They sense his weakness. And an added plus for the Obamamedia is the fact that he happens to be a black man. Who better to bash?
Usually, their idiot-of-choice is John McCain... and he never disappoints them.
They know how much he get's under our skin...so you can expect him to be trotted out...with his always apologetic and all-too-willing to "repudiate" a$$.

Fellow conservatives, Hoffman hasn't won yet. Actually, many in the NY GOP actually support Scazzafava's lib fascist views.
Further, note that she did not urge her supporters to shift their support to Hoffman. Further, she also noted here name is still on the ballot - as a spoiler vote. She is hardly the gracious and honorable loser many here have been quick to conclude. I suspect that the republican pressure brought to bear was so intense such that she would never have another republican option should she continue.
Consequently, Owens still has a good chance of picking up many of those swing votes. And every republican vote still helps him.
Many a contest was lost when the surging leader's supporting cast thought it was over to soon. This is going down to the wire and Hoffman needs all the help he can get. Keep sending those checks! |
|
That's a big affirmative!!! One of the first useful pieces of legislation we have had in years, is now pale and useless. That why I'm voting for Rand. As big of a pain as Ron is in the House, I feel having another Paul (Rand) in the Senate would be even better.
It would drives the Dems and Repubs crazy!!! |

hot flashes, today. You've got a hormonal imbalance, Fan Tan. The Battleground Poll taken over a decade, showed 60% of respondents identified themselves as Conservative, or very Conservative! With only 30% of respondents identifying themselves as liberal, or very liberal! And the latest Gallop showing Conservatives at 40%, liberals at only 20%! I know math is not one of your long suits, but even you can clearly see your outnumbered 2 to 1. Conservatives win every single time. This is a country made up of Conservative principles, and Conservative values. The Founders were Conservatives, for crying out loud. It is you, fool, that is the fish out of water. The country rejects the left, every single solitary time. And in fact, you have lost the ideological war. August 2009 was your Waterloo, just like Sen. DeMint, predicted. It's game, set, match on your brand of leftism, socialism, communism. Your done. Finis. Now go deal with your hormonal imbalance. That's all ya' got left. |

dreadnaught...I know JUST what the lap-dog media is going to do with this...
CBS;NBC;ABC;CNN;MSNBC-Sunday Morning Talk Shows:
"IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN FREE-FALL"
"THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS LOSING IT"
"THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SUFFERS MAJOR BLOW"
"THE FAILURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY"
"IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DEAD?"
"REPUBLICAN PARTY-PARTY OF IRRELEVANCE"
"REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS NO SUPPORT AMONG AMERICANS"
That's the spin they'll put on this...totally ignoring the GLARING FACT OF THE MATTER that the Truth is just the opposite...and that what is really being shown is that CONSERVATISM IS BEING STRENGTHENED and that the REAL story is:
"THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS BEING FORCED, KICKING AND SCREAMING, BACK TO IT'S ROOT VALUE-CONSERVATISM"

You did the right thing. Conservatism is on the ascendancy, whether you libs realise it or not. |

Just amazing.
I like that she dropped, and would have liked it better if she didn't blame the money issues, because I think she had more funds available than Hoffman.
Maybe this will wake up some others, such as the race that will develop in Neveda to oust Reid, shouldn't have republicans wasting the funds but rather have one drop so that a concerted effort can be done to martial all resources for the better good. |

After a brief dalliance with irrationality, voters will have a chance to send Barry, blue dogs and Rinos a message; conservatism works when it is clear and undiluted.
Can't wait to here the WH spin from Gibbs. |

Both Moderate and Hard-line Conservatives need to unite at this time in America's history. I laude Scozzafava for her dignity in stepping aside and refusing to go down in history as a spoiler candidate. |
|
|
he's way too deep for us'suns. Way, way Deep, Dudes. We don't deserve the depth of his deepness and deepiosity. |
|
In fact, some of the members of Congress who seemed a bit squishy on immigration appear to have become solid supporters of an enforcement-based approach once they became better educated on the issue during their service in the House.
That includes some blue dog Dems as well as Republicans.
My impression is that the Dem candidate in NY-23 bears no resemblance to a blue dog, however.
He is liable to be a lackey for the Pelosi regime.
If I lived in NY-23 I'd vote for Hoffman.
I saw him on TV and he does strike me as somewhat of a mental midget. Which means he would probably fit in better in the US Senate, but what the heck. |
|
I wouldn't worry too much about Hoffman's squishiness on immigration.
I think it is extremely unlikely that Hoffman gets elected to the House as a populist conservative and then turns out to be another Chris Cannon.
In general, the House Republicans have become very close to unanimous in support for an enforcement-oriented immigration agenda.
That includes some who were wishy washy when they first ran for office.
No doubt if the political climate changed and they could shift in the open-borders direction without affecting their political careers, the ones that in the past showed squishiness would be the most likely to do so. But the political and economic climate I believe will preclude that at least within the next 10 years.
I sincerely doubt that Hoffman would defy the House Republicans and side with the Establishment Left on immigration legislation, regardless of his personal views.
That would be a disastrous stance and would put him at odds with conservatism, populism, the working class, and the House Republicans.
And peer pressure won't just be from the House Republicans. The Conservative Populist movement, which Hoffman is trying to ride into office on, is staunchly opposed to permissive immigration policies.
And faux populists like Armey and Gingrich won't change that. |

So you would have approved of Bush, if he had been a Democrat? |

And so it begins; that first brick has been laid for the restoration of the "Shining City on a Hill." "We the people," simple forms of clay, tempered by those events and travails of our everyday lives, challenging kings and entrenched establishment; do not disgard a random brick through a business window at a G-20 summitt, but rather begin a simple principled re-establishment of the foundations of the Republic's beginnings. |
|
Isn't it hilarious how they do that? Any RINO is a "moderate" republican.
I truly hope this conservative tide turns into a tsunami. It's the only hope to get our country back on track. If we don't get it back on track the USA is the next Cuba. |
|
|
|
This is an encouraging turn of events for conservatives. Newt doesn't come out of this looking very good. Michael Steele, as RNC Chairman had to tread lightly because he could not openly speak out against a Republican nominee. Therefore, I give Steele some slack in this case, even though I have stopped sending money to the RNC until I see them recruiting conservative candidates.
|
|
|
I too am a South Carolinian and hope Lindsey Graham gets the message. |

To: Can i dare hope....
Lindsay Graham is either
1. Insane
2. Being blackmailed

That was great news from NY! I hope in Kentucky we can do the same thing. We have Trey Grayson(R) who has the backing of the establishment (including Mitch McConnell) running against a true conservative in Rand Paul. Unfortunately, there is very little press coverage on the fact that Trey was a Democrat a few years back and even campained for Bill Clinton's presidency.
Get rid of the RINOs!!! |
|
I totally agree with "correctwing" and no longer given a cent to the Republican National Committee as they squander $$$ just like they squandered the majority in D.C.
I give it straight to the candidates to use as they see fit.
Hastert and Boehner were dreadful when they had the power to do something.....they totally blew it. I don't know what is wrong with Newt except that he is too big for his britches and just wants to prance around with his new wife and make a lot of money. I pray he doesn't run for president. |
|
|
all i got for my trip to Washington on 9/12 was a lousy tee-shirt. We can make a difference. |
|
|
The RNC has paid lip service to conservatives for years and this race is the most recent example. The Tea Party movement shows that conservatives are a strong political force in this country. Michael Steele, please wake up and make the GOP the voice of conservatives. |
|
|
this is the beginning of people in the political arena actually making decisions based on what is good for our country instead of personal gain. As a South Carolinian, i sure hope Lindsey Graham gets this message loud and clear. RINO's need not apply. This has given me much hope and a renewed resolve to continue the fight for our country. |
|
Great news.Tea Partiers making a major difference without the Lame Street Media.Deede said she didn't have the money to refute the charges against her liberal record.This letter she wrote would have been the perfect time.
The only problem is that her progressive Rino record was proved early on.Have a nice day Newt. |
|
|
What a victory for conservatism! I'm guessing all the major endorsements from Republican party heavyweights for Hoffman, esp. Palin, brought such a grassroots flood of funds for his campaign that GOP party bosses saw the writing on the wall and brought the gauntlet down on Scozzafava. That, or she was unprepared for the national attention generated by the race, and decided it wasn't worth the hoopla (which makes some sense, since she seems more opportunistic than patriotic, vis a vie the funneling of funds to the beachside-condo-residing "strategy consultant" family member.) |
|
This just means we don't need a third party, we just need to take back ours!
This is a good start. |
|
It is not time to dance in the streets. It is one small victory. We must stay on the offensive and stand on as many RINO airhoses as we can! I personally will not send money to or answer the calls from the RNC. We need to direct support to NJ and Va. These will be huge as Senate seats may come into play! To all others here celebrate after this election after the clock struck 00:00 !
Some more good news: CNN reports Joe Biden is headed to NY to campaign for Owens! I hope cameras are present! I was surfing when idiots in Halloween costumes were doing their "clownish news report" caught my eye! |

When will the dems drive the pro-abortionists, big spending, tax and spenders, elitists, Marxists, and all other lefties out of your party? Seems to me you want Republicans to think just like you. I never will, thank God, and I will fight with all I have to remove those in my party who do not believe as I do. Why should I ever vote for a dem when they go against everything that is good about this country? You stay on your leftist side and I and millions of other, including many dems who have seen what is happening, will take back this wonderful country and give it back to the producers and those who love it. |

Conservatives are not 'demanding' anything. We do not care if anyone wants to be: a Homosexual, a Liberal, an Atheist, a Porn Queen, etc.
Unlike Liberal-Democrats, we don't want to force our Religion down anyone's throat... We Just Don't Want You People Forcing Your Religion of Tyranny and Death Panels Down Our Throats!
Have any Government and Value system you wish ... Just do it in your own towns. And Don't Demand We Pay for Your Failures! |
|
|
This says as much about Newt Gingrinch and the RNC as it does about Mrs. Scozzafava. We the people will no longer be told who to vote for. We trust our instincts more than those of the political elite. We expect those we vote for to do what we voted for them to do, not what Washington D.C. politics tell them to do. This is a win, but we must not let our guard down. We still have alot to fight against and people we must raise up to serve us instead of themselves. |

Excellent post!
Some might think it strange that the liberals seem to fear the RINO's losing almost as much as the old-line RNC. I don't find it strange at all. The RINO's are, generally, fellow travelers of liberals/democrats. |
|
The primary (no pun intended) reason you believe what you say is because you believe the Pravda press, and they want DESPERATELY for conservatives to believe they are outnumbered and have no chance.
Sort of the same strategy the grasshoppers tried with the ants.
Sorry about that. |

you hit the target squarely on top of the typical wing nut's tin foil hat. |

....confer on the couch about this. |

what you are saying is that winning is everything. That has been said before by the same kind of people who have said that might makes right and the ends justify the means and that power comes out of the barrel of a gun.
The same people believe that majority rules. If that is the case Jim Crow laws or things of that nature would still be effective legislation.
The fact is that the sheer weight of the majority has in effect always made it the rule.
The deciding factor is will the majority surrender to tyranny or have forebearance and seek out virtue. The founders knew that only people of 'religious' virtue could maintain a republic.
That is inargueable as anyone examining history can see clearly the difference between masses and country men. Note that I didn't say citizens. There is today an obvious difference between being a citizen of the United States and being an American.
An American has a spiritual existance. We work toward humility which leaves us open to listening for truth. We try not to fall victim to thinking of ourselves as the focal point of the universe but are fully aware of the sovereignty of the individual.
You sound like a mean spirited person who would gleefully walk on our graves. Americans don't die that easily. Something that Barrack and his cadrey of Evil Doers have overlooked.

I think the best solution is taking back the republican party from the anti- conservative wing that controls it. It won't be easy as they are entrenched and have control. They also have plenty of $ on their side. We will have to fight hard to do it. But if they insist on giving us nothing worth voting for the republican party is toast for the time being because the base has had it. |

Newt and the other "inside the beltway" intellects need to get out and meet the real Americans and get an idea where the country is at this time! I swear its hilarious if it weren't so potentially disasterous to see all the inside the beltway types dismayed at their own lack of acumen in grasping the electorate. It started in 2007 with the unwillingness to connect the dots on Obama and then a brilliant man like Newt trying to play inside politics when an obvious ideological war is brewing all across the country. The truth is this is a war. This is no game between two similar viewpoints like the old Scoop Jackson dems and Nixon Repub. The sooner people who've lived too long in the beltway understand that the better. A brilliant intellect like Newt's can many times be savagely STUPID in pursuing a "reasonable" course in unreasonabe times. |
|
We the People are coming, loud and hard. Ignore us at your peril! Both parties and the elites in DC would be wise to listen up because we are just beginning out take back of OUR government.
And to Vlad on this forum: You keep laughing and joking, clown boy, you're going down in flames with all the other marxists out there. We're not playing, anymore!
And to Dede: Thank you for seeing the light and doing the right thing for all of us!
|
|
just want to be left alone to persue freedom within traditional boundaries. Government has proven itself an enemy.
Government has adulterated the money, killed our children in foreign adventures, attacked our national sovereignty, deminished our values and attempted to replace them with perversion and generally tries to dictate every facit of our lives.
Even the slowest wits amongst us are starting to acknowledge that government wears the mantle of the tyrant. |

The problem here is Michael Steele and the Republican Party. The Republican Party of Little Lindsay, McCain, and the rest of the RINOs who are memebers of and running a party that is not much different from the Democrat party is meaningless. I've always been a conservative independent voter who looked for candidates to vote for primarily in the Republican party because it was the only party that offered conservative choices. Althuogh in recent years most all of those candidates have been terrible disappointments. However, Dede Scozzafava was about the worst choice because she nothing but a screaming Progressive, and thinks no differently then the left wing of the Democrat Party.
We Conservatives need to either form a new party, or take back the Republican Party by getting rid of the Grahams and McCains, and Michael Steele who has to be one of the worst Chairmen the party has ever had.
This debacle in up-state NY show how out of touch the Republican Party is. And Newt G., who I generally admire, should be ashamed of himself. |

I love people like Vlad who think that it is Conservatives that caused the losses in the last two election cycles. Sorry. It was moderates (the dirty little secret is that Bush was a moderate as well). Republicans abandoned their principles of smaller government and less spending and they got drubbed.
BHO has awakened the sleeping giant, the silent majority. Most Americans still believe in the greatness of this country.
Dede was not outspent. She simply ran into the buzz saw that is this tea party and conservative renaissance.
My hats off though to Dede for taking one for the Party. Hoffman will win in Tuesday and he will caucus with House Republicans. Hopefully by next year when he runs for reelection, the party bosses in NY will wake up and get this guy on board.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!! |

Now it's time for Hoffman to turn up the heat.
We're coming to get you barack.
And vlad, you have no idea about the depth of the anger. We're just starting to fight. Now run along. Go back to your echo chamber.
We'll be happy to simmer in our seething rage for a while. It's called the refiners fire.
Nothing to see here.

If she really wants what is best for her district and her party, she should unequivocally endore Hoffman. The fact that she has not and probably will not lets me know that she is indeed democrat-lite.
Vlad, we are not asking for "purety" we are just asking for common-sense. I know that may be a little to much for your to stomach, but we can dream. |

Yeah, that Sarah Palin, she's as dumb as a box of rocks,isn't that right all you trolls? Or crazy like a artic fox. |
|
|
An end to rinos and their ilk. |
|
|
The middle ground is not on the far left with Obama. With 40% of people describing themselves as conservative it might be a bit of an exaggeration to call them all far right. |
|
|
This is step one in returning the republican party to conservatism. Hopefully this ends Newt Gingrich's influence on the party. That weasel didn't have the guts to stand up to Clinton and sure as hell isn't presidential. Roll over George W. Bush and the Bushies.. The conservatives are going to take this party back, take our government back, and return this country to sanity. To hell with Rinos. |

If Republican elites, and even the Democrats for that matter, weren't paying attention before, surely they can't ignore the significance of what just happened in New York.
For the most part, those now in the Republican leadership have been trying to "shush" the members of Party. They have voiced concern with the vociferous outcry from the heathen masses who (shudder) attended Tea Parties and crowded Town Hall meetings.
As for the Democrats, they simply pretended that they weren't real, that the huge masses and throngs of those demanding actual governance were simply figments of FOX News' imagination.
They both ignore the rumblings of the majority of the American people at their political peril. I echo the question so many are beginning to ask, "Can you hear us now!"

What's the matter gettin a little nervous? Your little plan to scare us into voting for RINO's not working out so well? Well you can fool some of the people some of the time Vladie. |
|
Thank you Dede Scozzafava!
Now take this superb breaking news Hoffman and run with it! |
|
“Get the hell out of my way,”
This is the new message for failure b hussein mmm mmm mmmm et al. |
|
There will be two big parties in D.C. tonight:
Conservatives celebrating the way they drove Scozzafava out.
Liberals celebrating the way conservatives drove Scozzafava out.
And let me spell it out a little more clearly for all you little right-wingers who need to have everything explained to them: I'm not talking about this particular seat. It's been Republican for decades and, all things being equal, probably wouldn't go to the Democrat anyway.
I'm talking about your strategy of driving everybody out of the Republican party until you have one seat in Congress - but it'll be a really ideologically pure seat. |

For bringing the fight to where it needs to be. Building a support team for the 2012 elections by helping the people of this country win seats in the senate to balance out this radical congress we have. |
|
Putting Country First. Hooray!
God Bless and Godspeed!
May the winner live up to such a selfless act.
And may our President learn to do the same. |
|
|
It's another temper tantrum by the voters. This is hope and change I can believe in. |
|
|
|
|
This sends a tingle down my leg! |
|
|
Conservatives just won the first skirmish in a broader war for the direction of the Republican Party. Watch now as the State Run Media either ignores or downplays the significance of this event. |
|
|
Thank you for a gracefull exit. |
