Outside interests just may prevail, which will clearly send a message to the NY23 voters.

Gays and union thugs will NOT BE TOLERATED.

Republican said...: A real conservative doesn't make a pledge to other Republican candidates in return for their reciprocal pledges of support and then break his word mere hours later and go to a third party.

This bitch is a Democrat, folks. Always has been ... and she always will be.

Her husband is president of the local union; she's for ending the secret ballot and a host of other Obama initiatives. Plus she's a fat obese butt-ugly pig (which is usually a dead giveaway for being a Democrat).

She's a Democrat who has been infiltrated into the Republican Party to run with our campaign donations (over $900,000). She's a common thief.

When it became obvious that the voters of her district didn't agree with her liberal socialist stance on the issues, of course the jig is up. May as well de-cloak.

This is how the Democrat Party operates folks. It's the Chicago Way.

Somebody should kneecap this fucking bitch. The RNCC should sue her and her campaign for fraud - not to win necessarily, but to destroy her personally and tie her up professionally.

Chicago way folks: They put one of your guys in the hospital, you put one of their guys in the morgue.

It's time to put some of their guys in the morgue.

Heh.

I'm in a Sean Connery sort of mood.

Look ... if they let this bitch get away with this shit without deploying the politics of personal destruction on her fucking ass then the Democrats will think they can fucking get away with this sort of shit on a regular basis.

I'm looking for a political party that's got the balls enough enough to stomp these fuckers with extreme prejudice when they pop up.

Conservative Party, anyone?; 11/2/09, 12:50 PM
Synova said...: There are some things that just seem a canary in the mine test to me.

I don't advocate a big long list that someone has to adhere to but some things speak to a larger understanding.

Like ending the secret ballot.

I would not want anyone who doesn't see or *understand* the value of a secret ballot to get elected for *anything*. I honestly don't care if they are a pro-life, ultra-small-government libertarian leaning capitalist. But then, they *wouldn't* be, would they, if they didn't understand at a gut level just how important a secret ballot is. Staunch Democrats are balking at this one because even most liberals understand freedom.

Supporting Zelaya is another. Because it says something about a politicians larger understanding if he or she doesn't understand that there is not a SINGLE nation on the planet with a life-long president that is not a shit hole. So it says something profound about freedom and liberty and a politicians understanding of the world itself. (Watch... this will be Obama's "legacy" 30 and 40 years from now. His administration will mark when Central America stopped getting better and socialist banana-Republics took back all the progress that was made. Ortega just pulled some smoke and mirrors to hold his throne for his life-time... did we say *anything* about that? Did we say anything at all about the dishonest maneuvering involved in pushing it through? "The People" don't like kings, but somehow they like *kings*. And we should be some sort of light in the darkness to advocate for freedom and liberty and a *representative* rule by law and be ready to explain just why every SINGLE country with an "elected" president for life is a gawd awful human disaster.

In any case... same difference.

I don't expect someone who thinks that maybe it is OKAY to do away with secret ballots to understand anything AT ALL about freedom or liberty.; 11/2/09, 12:54 PM

Dustin said...: It's pretty awful to pretend to be a republican, take their nomination and a million dollars from citizens who want to support that cause, and then drop out a couple of days before the election and endorse the democrat.

Dede's voting record goes on for years. Anyone calling her a moderate is themselves either dishonest or misinformed about Dede or what moderation is.

She's a thief... plain and simple. It's a clever way to deny election freedom. I'm sure it happens quite a bit.; 11/2/09, 1:18 PM

You know what I've noticed about Newt Gingrich: That traitor is nowhere to be found. He's gone to ground.

That's the sort of cowardly fuckers we've got leading the Republican Party these days. Pussy won't even show his face to explain himself.

No dude, she's obesely butt-ugly. She weighs in at 350 pounds once you get her away from the pasta bar at Sizzler long enough to put a scale under her fat ass.

That's a whole level of ugly beyond mere ugly.; 11/2/09, 1:23 PM
Dustin said...: I think it's interesting that people such as the moby in the first comment are convinced this result had something to do with gays.

Sure, lots of people are opposed to gay marriage... such as Barack Obama, jackass. The moderates such as Hoffman and the voters who cast Dede, the extremist, out of the election, just don't want the government spending away our future. I'm sure most of them prefer that social issues like homosexuality are not federal government issues at all, really.

If any social issue had an impact, it was Dede's planned parenthood connection... she's quite an extremist. Gays are welcome in the Republican party... I would never vote for a republican who was ugly to gay people.; 11/2/09, 1:25 PM
Republican said...: http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/19553/owens-now-its-just-me-and-the-far-right/

Interestingly, actual voters from inside the district on both sides, seem to agree they would have voted for Dede, because she had a track record they were happy with.

The voters also seem to agree that Hoffman has no knowledge of or interest in their district, nor do his financial handlers.; 11/2/09, 1:30 PM

The Conservative congressional candidate [Hoffman] was controller of the Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee, the architect of the 1980 Olympic Winter Games.

The group lobbied the federal government to bail it out. The Carter administration, which already had spent an estimated $90 million on the games, balked.

The state Legislature was more receptive. It agreed to pay off the debt in exchange for ownership of the ski jumps, the Olympic fieldhouse and the speed skating rink. Lawmakers created the Olympic Regional Development Authority just to manage the acquisitions. The authority took over all of the Olympic facilities the following year.

He [Hoffman] concluded: "None of us are embarrassed or ashamed about what happened. Even with what happened, we weren't a failure. We were a success."; 11/2/09, 1:40 PM

And that's why she quit the race ... because so many people inside the district were planning to vote for her.

Moron.

That's about the dumbest attempt at political spin I've seen so far on NY23.; 11/2/09, 1:40 PM
Automatic_Wing said...: Dede is as much of a Republican as Republican(the commenter). Which is to say, not at all.; 11/2/09, 1:40 PM
Dustin said...: 'Republican', I hope you're not just trolling, but if Dede was really going to win the election, as you are insisting, then she would not have dropped out. No serious thinker holds your ridiculous view. Dede did not represent the voters, and that's why she was losing this election before she cut and run.

It's pretty amusing that you, dede's defender, obviously someone who hates the GOP, is also calling themselves Republican. Perhaps you're being pretty clever!; 11/2/09, 1:42 PM

The Socialist Party congressional candidate [Scuzzyfava] was cashier of the local McDonalds.

She lobbied the french fry guy to force feed her fries until she weighed 500 pounds. The french fry guy, which already had spent an estimated $90 million on fries for the obese Scuzzyfava, balked.

The Hamburglar was more receptive. He agreed to force feed her Quarter Pounders With Cheese in exchange for ownership of her fat ass, her mumu collection and the stank she exuded.; 11/2/09, 1:54 PM

Republican said...: It doesn't take much for you Christian Identity types to reveal yourselves.

I never said I "supported" Dede, nor did I "defend" her.

I simply provided evidence showing that the candidate being supported by the extreme rightwing, in this case Hoffman, has his own problems with the truth.

You retards behave predictably, by reading the truth as "support" and reading the truth as "defense"--and predictably, ya'll launch into obnoxious nasty *predictable* rhetoric. Gross. Puke. Ick.

I couldn't vote for Dede if I wanted to (and I never did) because I don't live in that district.

Of course, neither does Hoffman.

Thanks for proving a few points, fringers.; 11/2/09, 8:03 PM
TMink said...: I love this line; "She’s devastated that these outside interests are trying to hijack her moderate wing of the party,"

Pro abortion, big government, pro higher taxation people are not moderates. They are progressives.

And Florida, I am not concerned with how she looks. How she votes is the problem. She could look like Angelina Jolie for all I care.

I am praying that the Conservative wins. It will be good for America.

Bite my ass sweetheart. Politics 'aint beanbag.

If you're wondering why Scuzzyfava's obesity has become an issue in the race, look no further than your own Democrat Party.

Democrats in New Jersey started with the fat attack ads - and so you should expect to get it back in spades when you run obese retards like DoDo Scuzzyfava for candidates.

Democrat Jon Corzine started running "fat ads" against Chris Christie in New Jersey.

So spare me your liberal hypocrisy. When you run fat cow retards like Scuzzyfava, you're going to get called on it.

If Democrats are going to attack Republican candidates for their weight, they're going to get it back twice as hard when they run rhinoceroses like Scuzzyfava for Congress.

The gloves are staying off.

Anonymous said...: "Tacky is tacky no matter whether or not it is Republican or Democrat."

We're just community organizaign ... just like Barack Obama taught us.

This criticism is coming from the same group of people who call Republicans "teabaggers."

Do you know what a "teabagger" is? It's a homosexual who dips his ball sack into the mouth of another homosexual. It's a weird gay fetish.

And yet Democrats use this in everyday language. They long ago abandoned the high road. Taking Barack Obama's community organizaing advice, we're going to "punch back twice as hard."

If Democrats use crude pornographic terms to describe Republicans, they can expect to get that back in spades. That's why you're seeing Rush make "bestiality" ridiculing jokes.

If Democrats like Corzine run fat attack ads against Republican candidates, they can expect their obese candidates to be ridiculed similarly. And since their candidates are almost uniformly ugly and fat, it's going to be like shooting fish in a barrel.

The gloves stay off.

If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the political kitchen and go play checkers somewhere else.

I can be tough, I just choose not to belittle people with crude language.

And, BTW, I probably knew what a teabagger was long before you, you ignoramus, did.

Use the big words, Florida, not the convenient crude ones.

The dumbing down of the nation had its nascence with Rush and his cronies. And we are all the worse for it.

We're going to do it because that's the way Barack Obama set up the game.

What about "punch back twice as hard" do you find it so hard to understand?

Do you really think whining is a viable political position? My five-year-old kid whines less than you do when called names by his classmates.

Grow a pair, sweetheart, or get back into the kitchen.

"Why should conservatives be the only ones who have to watch what they say, while liberals can get away with all sorts of sexual slurs (Letterman) and character assassination? Probably because our parents taught us to have better manners than that. However, now is the time to play just as dirty and just as hard as the scum sucking libtards.

For too long, liberals have gotten conservatives to "play nice" by whining and bitching and crying and throwing temper tantrums when they feel slighted.

No more.
