Scozzafava Stabs Hoffman In The Back, Endorses Democrat Candidate

Proof • November 2, 2009

And remember, people, Scozzafava was the candidate the Republican establishment originally wanted to win this election.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., was among those who urged Dierdre K. Scozzafava to endorse Democratic congressional candidate William L. Owens, the senator’s spokesman said Saturday.
The spokesman, Maxwell Young, said the senator called a number of north country political leaders after Ms. Scozzafava suspended her campaign and had more than one conversation with the Republican candidate ahead of her announcement. He said the senator also called other Democratic leaders about the situation, including White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Mr. Owens said he was “honored” by the endorsement.
“Over the course of her career, Dede has always committed to serving the people of Upstate New York before serving a partisan agenda,” he said in a statement. “Now more than ever we need bipartisan solutions to help bring jobs to Upstate New York to get our economy back on track and move our country forward. Those are the kinds of priorities I will fight for in Congress because that’s the kind of leadership Upstate New York needs right now.”
Those in the camp of the Conservative candidate Douglas L. Hoffman called Ms. Scozzafava a turncoat.
“This afternoon Dede Scozzafava betrayed the GOP,“ Senior Communications Advisor Rob Ryan said in a statement. “She endorsed a Pelosi Democrat who will spend more, tax more, and push the liberal agenda that is dragging down this nation.”

I, frankly, care less about Scozzafava “betraying” Republicans than I do about the reality that this was her ideology all along. She was a liberal when the Republican establishment picked her over a conservative like Hoffman, and she’s a liberal now as she’s endorsing a fellow liberal and her former opponent in the election.

This only proves that she was no RINO – She was a lying Liberal/Democrap wearing a Repuplican title. She was no more a Republican than Obama. To bad for the Dems though – it was a win-win situation before Hoffman.

So much for party unity, Huh.

This is why you shouldn't blindly vote for someone just because they have an R next to their name!

Palin called it. Newt was blind in this case!

Is it time for Michael Steele to resign? Did anyone hear his sickening interview on Hannity the other day? I have e-mailed him and asked him to step down. How about we try this….the Republican party should actually endorse the Republican instead of the democrat.

Only in New York and Calipornia would she be considered a Rebulican

"Thus does she reveal her true colors for all to see. The only question left to ponder is this: Did the GOP establishment, fearing a coup from the conservative right, play any role in her back-stabbing decision?"

This snake took a million dollars of repub money and endorsed the dim, she deserves to fade into irrelevancy!

And so the liberals begin lowering the bar.

I've got to hand it to you guys. You're good at spin. Not terribly honest, of course, but good at spin.

She can endorse whoever she wants. The point is that she never should have been the GOP candidate in the first place.

Wait. I thought Hoffman stabbed Scozzafava in the back? Getting your roles reversed, fellas?

BTW – Did you forget that it's a NY 23rd dist election and not a nation-wide election? D'oh.

Common sense republicans like Scozzafava know that the loud-mouthed right-wingers are bad for the party and the country.

This is the same gal the right wing extremist gops were stabbing in the back, right?

Somewhere Raygun just turned over.

No, ignorant liberals like you are scared to death of resurgent conservatives and so have to resort to scare tactics about extremists.
