Morons.

Was that not respectful?

Oops, sorry. I hope the world’s morons were not insulted by including Congress in their number.

I guess that the statement that : “There isn’t a dimes worth of difference in both partys” is true! We need another party———-And not the socialist one!

Especially when you can win and show the (D)s that Statism truly is a bipartisan issue.

Not too long ago, somebody wrote a diary exhorting us to support these Republican orgs to back Republican candidates. I said then that I will back individual candidates but not the national orgs and that you were doing a bang up job of highlighting good conservative candidates.

I was right, wasn’t I?

when they last called begging for money that I was sending “their” money to NumbersUSA (TRUE Immigration reform… protect the borders, enforce the law, link immigration policy to the NEED for immigration).

Aside from that, I will send my money to individual candidates that are fighting the good fight.

The GOP failed to wake up on this one. Seems like they actually took advice from the Democrats, in nominating a ‘moderate!’

Time to show them they better wake up or lose in 2010! Elect Hoffman, the REAL Republican overlooked by the ‘party leader,’ and send the GOP the message…..again.

Really did not think we were that thick-headed!

As others here have wisely said, not one thin dime of campaign contributions should go to the idiots/morons/jackasses/insert-pejorative-of-choice who run the rudderless national GOP organizations. Donate instead to individual candidates who actually represent conservative values. And donate generously. PLEASE.

I am fed up to the gills with the House and Senate election committees and the GOP top brass as well. I know they are not trying to screw things up, but they could not be doing that any more effectively if they were trying.

One needs look no farther than the treachery of the NRSC trying to derail Marco Rubio in favor of Charlie “Blowin’ in the Wind” Crist. Shameful.

I am often called a Republican die-hard by lefties without a clue, simply because I vote AGAINST every Democrat to come along. They fail to grasp the concept. But I am sick to death of voting for the lesser of evils. I want people to vote FOR.

of GOPers who support Scozzafava?

We need conservatives to join the Republican party and take a majority position within the party. A third party will do nothing but divide the vote on the right and insure the liberal Democrats win every time.

Remember how Bush #1 was defeated? It wasn’t the “Read my lips” comment at all. It was the Chihuahua from Texas that split the vote on the right and allowed Slick Willy to waltz into the Oval Office with less than a majority. Dividing the vote equally three ways works great. But it never works that way. The votes are always divided in half on one side or the other. Maybe if the RINOs started a new party called the “Compromisers” the vote on the left would be divided, huh?

And finally, I don’t give money to the Republican Party. I give it to the candidate’s campaign committee directly. I’ll never again throw hundreds of dollars down a hell-hole called “McLame-Feingold.” We here in Wisconsin could hear Russ Feingold laughing out loud at the fool that was the GOP nominee; the idiot that compromised on just about everything in order to go along to get along. “Hello my friend” McLame drank the kool aid that he and Feingold mixed up together.

Where is the RNC Chairman on this one??? Wake up and get going, Mr. Steele, before it is too late!!!!!!

The leadership at the top of the Pubs is a man who likes the moderate way—I forget his name—we ca’t blame this on Steele, it is not his power to change this. I think we need to shake them up. bUt forget a 3rd party unless ou want King Henry VIII Obama for life and Pelosi as Cranmer reincearnated.

if the moderates want to kick conservative out, then so be it. The GOP would turn into a thrid party before you could blink.

The House GOP is supporting the GOP candidate. What would you expect them to do. I thought the diarists at this site were opposed to the national party imposing its will on the selection process of local parties.

If I were a NY voter, I would vote for Hoffman. I wish the local GOP had selected a conservative candidate for the special election. But I am not going to be angry at the House GOP for supporting the decision of the local party.

It is fine for conservative activists to endorse Hoffman, but it is ridiculous to expect the House GOP to disrespect the local party by ignoring the candidate or worse yet endorsing a third party candidate.

The obvious lesson is that when conservatives stand apart from the local GOP, the local GOP will not appoint conservatives for special election ballots. Scozzofava is not a cause for third partyism. She is the result.

that the GOP would support a candidate who is more aligned with the Democrats on core issues than the GOP signals the GOP is in this to win at any cost, damn the principles. It is exactly that attitude that caused voters to send the GOP packing.

They aren’t in this to win this or they wouldn’t continue doing what they’ve done in two losing elections in a row….I don’t think they care if we win…as long as long as they get to maintain their little social club and keep the mob at bay…they aren’t interested in being in the majority because governing is hard work…they like the status of king makers but don’t want to be responsible for the kings they create so they tread water…let us all rot where we hang while they make the cocktail circuit and wasting the oxygen in the room with their every breathless comment

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

One thing I learned while on the job is people are people. They have limits and failings regardless of whether they wear a hard hat, a badge, a doctor’s coat or three piece suit.

One of those failings is the inability to change their perception of the world around them. I’ll bet money as sure as the ideological left is that THIS time they’ll get socialism right, the Republicans in charge think THIS time they’ll somehow manage to walk that razor’s edge of promoting moderate politicians without falling or getting pushed off. The obvious fact that the environment on the ground has changed a thousand times over in the last two years doesn’t impact their vision of reality. The only way we can stop this mindlessness is to hijack the party and simply re-direct it. Turn the party into a big tent run by conservatives which can hold anyone who wants to join. It is just the liberal wing of the party is assigned to the kiddie table. We’ve had enough of their bad behavior.

is among the various Tea Party groups. They’re not about supporting Republicans. They’re about supporting conservatives, and if the Rep doesn’t want to be conservative, he can go the way of all libs in 2010. I supect the Tea Party movement is just going to grow in strength between now and then, and liberals are going to be in for a MAJOR butt-kicking…. whatever party they are affiliated with.

Quoted from and linked to at: THE STUPID PARTY RIDES AGAIN

If you rule out a candidate because they don’t hold the right position on one issue, be it gay marriage, abortion or any other hot-button but basically irrelevant issue, you are part of the problem for the GOP, part of what keeps the party marginalized when it might be dominant based on its fundamental principles.

Stick the the principles of small government and individual liberty and the GOP can flourish, but we’ve got to stop getting mired down in personal issues and single-issue litmus tests for candidates.

The fact is that the woman with the unspellable and unpronouncable name in this article is not as bad as she is made out to be here and holds reasonable positions in most areas, except for a couple of social issues where the party would be a lot better off if it took a laissez faire attitude. She’s not anyone’s dream candidate, but she’s still better than Joe Lieberman.

There’s a good article on this controversy at NationalBroadside with some of the facts left out of this article.
