Pity Party for Dede

Dede Scozzafava is upset because Republicans were "vicious" to her. Could someone get right on the organization of that pity-party, please?

Dear Dede. Let me assure you that if what you endured during the short course of this campaign made you feel maligned or offended your sensibilities, please take solace in the fact that you aren't Sarah Palin and you didn't have to endure what she went through for MONTHS longer than your supposed abuse.

And it could be, Dede, that had you properly represented yourself as a liberal from the get-go, as they say, this could all have been avoided. If there had ever been any doubt about your liberal leanings, your endorsement of the Democrat in that race simply proved the point that you are a liberal. Period.

Maybe someone could order a copy of Palin's book and ship it to Dede? She could learn what real conservatives stand for as well as take comfort in the fact that nobody made rape jokes about anyone in her family, nobody attacked her wardrobe, nobody filed ethics charges on her, nobody descended on her hometown en masse and interviewed everyone she'd every known from her first breath to present day, nobody accused her of using her family for props, and nobody accused her of faking a pregnancy, just to name a few.

Not One Red Cent to the NRCC!

I got this tip via Robert Stacy McCain, although now it is all over Memeorandum. The crap weasels at NRCC have given a huge donation to RINO sellout Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 special election in November despite Conservative candidate Hoffman's surge in the polls.

WTF?!

It's infuriating that the Republican leadership continues to back liberal Republican candidates. Oh, I know all about that big tent thing, and how being hard-line conservative is the "death knell of the Republican party...". Don't even go there.

Michelle Malkin's comments on this pretty much sums it up:

Then you use their money to try and elect Dede Scozzafava, an ACORN-friendly, union-pandering, tax-and-spend radical Republican. And you use that money to fight Doug Hoffman, a viable, bona fide conservative candidate in the race who is closing the gap in the polls.

Meanwhile, Weekly Standard debates whether or not Scozzavava will even remain a Republican:

Will Dede Scozzafava, the liberal Republican running in the November 3 special election for Army Secretary John McHugh's open upstate New York seat, stay in the Republican party in the (unlikely) event that she wins? Would she run in 2010 as a Republican—facing what would likely be a tough primary? Or would she pull a Specter?

Then John McCormack updated the post with this comment:

[Scozzafava spokesman] Burns adds that Scozzafava would run in the Republican primary in 2010 if challenged. He declined to say whether or not Scozzafava was open to running as an independent if she lost the primary.

So if Scozzafava is, for all intent and purposes, a liberal and as near a Democrat as you can get, why would the NRCC endorse her?

As Michelle said, watch your coffers dry up, NRCC. The American conservatives are sick and tired of it all; have you not noticed the tea parties? The town halls? The sinking-like-rocks poll numbers for liberal policies? The growing majority of Americans are not going to support candidates like Scozzafava or Charlie Crist. We aren't voting for an "R" behind their name; we're looking at their politics.

And those two? Liberal.

Just remember, Not One Red Cent!
