This Dede Whatshername was no “moderate”. She supports card check, abortion, tax increases, Obama’s “stimulus”, and his health “reforms”; she was on the board of Planned Parenthood and received the Margaret Sanger award; she’s involved with the Working Families Party, which is the NY branch of ACORN; she called the cops to harass that journalist. She’s not just a RINO, she’s a DIABLO, a Democrat In All But Label Only. The fact that the local party heads conspired to give her the nomination, and expected the rubes to accept that decision, illustrates exactly what’s wrong with the GOP, and what the tea party movement is all about. This is precisely why so many conservatives stayed home in 2006 and let the Democrats take over Congress, and why McCain was heading for a landslide defeat until he picked Palin.

The left are now spinning the US-23 race as if this Dede woman were a “moderate”, who was rejected because of her views on abortion and gays. That’s a load of nonsense, because the first national player to endorse Hoffman was the Club For Growth, which doesn’t give a dam about social issues. It was the CFG endorsement that brought Fred Thompson, Sarah Palin, and Dick Armey into the race; and none of them are known for putting a high priority on social issues either. CFG only cares about smaller government and economic liberty, and so long as a candidate supports those things they don’t even ask him what he thinks about issues that aren’t relevant to the economy. They rejected this Dede because she supports big government, high taxes, high spending, and a high government burden on people’s economic activities. That’s it. And that is no “moderate”, that is a leftist. Until the GOP learns that it can’t foist such candidates on us any more, and expect us to hold our noses and vote for them, it doesn’t deserve to win elections.

charliehall,

I dont care what her name was. They chose her WITHOUT a primary and she was in ways, more liberal than the liberal. Once again they failied to realize the Republican party doesnt do well when they go Democrat Lite because there is not much of a difference between the Dem and the Repulican. They need to stay with their Conservative values to be anything.

I guarantee you if CHAS V’SHOLOM there is a vote on healthcare, it will LOSE big time! So many of the C’men are scared stiff that they will be out of office.

re: The problem with Dov Hikind is that he believes that the ends justify the means. They do not. Even his usual friends in “The Jewish Press” are disgusted by his behavior. They slammed him this past Shabbos. See their editorial:

From #18: “Be prepared to look for somewhere else to live, as the rich and the upper middle-class leave the city, and leave us to fund the unions, bloated gov’t, and the illegal immigrants.”

May I recommend Haifa?

charliehall,

incorrect as usual!

The looser there was the local “republican” party for putting up an emesdika lib like scarfafuba or whatever her name was which is why the Conservative Party put up Hoffman. He had 30 days and lost by a very small amount especially after scarfafuba pulled her garbage. The Donkey canditate wont have time to do anything becuse he is up for re-election in a few months when the primaries roll around. Dont forget, it was a ONE YEAR election because they are all up again in 2010.

#29- just because 60% said it was state politics that decided their vote doesnt mean anything regarding Obama. Obama campaigned so heavily there thinking his face would bring more voters. So he lost there. Plus, IT IS A LOCAL OFFICE- duh! local politics should be on their mind! Obama lost when he wasnt even running- everyone knows it. may he lose the next elections as well.

WINNER: INDEPENDENT VOTERS
Yes, the NY23 Independents lost the election but it was so close. They were not sure who won until much later. The Democrat there is more right-wing than the republican that dropped out. The independents showed that a third party can make a difference as they almost won. Shows the world that you cant run by political parties but by ideas! America- watch out for 2010!! Oh, and NY 23 will only be in power until next year anyways- he is up for reelection then. Go Hoffman 2010!!!
