I hate to have to ask the question, but in light of this news broken by Michelle Malkin today, we must.
Scozzafava is the proud recipient of the Margaret Sanger award given by an abortion group in New York.
Margaret Sanger was a noted eugenicist. Though Planned Parenthood, the group Sanger found, denies it, evidence from a variety of sources points out that Sanger was a big supporter of sterilization of minorities.
In 1939, Sanger created the Negro Project, which the left has tried to discredit, but was very much real. Sanger advocated sterilization and abortion for lower income black women.
Planned Parenthood has gone to great lengths to repudiate the organization’s eugenic origins.71 It adamantly denies Sanger was a eugenicist or racist, despite evidence to the contrary. Because Sanger stopped editing The Birth Control Review in 1929, the organization tries to disassociate her from the eugenic and racist-oriented articles published after that date. However, a summary of an address Sanger gave in 1932, which appeared in the Review that year, revealed her continuing bent toward eugenics.
In “A Plan for Peace,” Sanger suggested Congress set up a special department to study population problems and appoint a “Parliament of Population.” One of the main objectives of the “Population Congress” would be “to raise the level and increase the general intelligence of population.” This would be accomplished by applying a “stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation [in addition to tightening immigration laws] to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”72
The RNC, NRCC, and noted Republican leaders have raced to embrace Scozzafava as fast as she embraced the Margaret Sanger award.

JadedByPolitics (Diary) Friday, October 16th at 8:33PM EST (link)They want a big tent doncha know? I am SICK of the NRCC and RNC and all of the politico’s who suck off of them. I would say that as Conservatives when you see a person running with an R after their name against another one with an R who is getting money from the national organizations SEND YOUR MONEY to the 1st one because they will be the Conservative!
The 2010 elections will be not only a SMACK upside the head of the Democrats it will be a SLAP across the faces of Republicans and what they will note during the next session of Congress will be that their committee assignments (for those who remain) will be GONE because the Conservatives will be RUNNING THE SHOW!

Xasteius (Diary) Friday, October 16th at 8:39PM EST (link)I can just see the national orgs blaming the conservative base for not supporting their
idiocyfarsightedness. Then we lose 2010, and the country goes to Hades./cynicism
Don’t leave the party, hijack it back!
The only poll that counts is the one at the ballot box.

Eh. The two don't follow.
randy streu (Diary) Friday, October 16th at 8:42PM EST (link)Even if they do publically shirk the blame on this, they’ll KNOW better. Besides, this is a beginning. People are watching this race. People are starting to speak out and take action.
The 2010 GOP is going to look fundamentally different from the 2006-2009 GOP, and the transformation has already begun.

I'll add...this race is one of several that are serving notice to the establishment...
AceInTX (Diary) Friday, October 16th at 10:39PM EST (link)This is looking REALLY bad for the establishment because the voters are NOt blindly following on this…Crist is takin it hard on the chin and is staggering in FL, Carly and Whitman are looking bad in CA…and I am predicting Kay Bailey will be announcing she has decided not to run for government after all in Texas…my only question is if she’ll want to stay in the Senate and what affect that will have vsv my favorite Texas Republican Williams..I’m not privy to any inside info on Hutchinson…but all indications are her attempts at running for government have been half hearted at best…and she is just not catching on with my friends around me…
Anyway…I think we’re in for a banner year this year because the Democrats are on a highway to hell and don’t seem to know it so they have the peddle to the floor…Conservatives are feeling their oats now and the powers that be…while still powerful will have to sit up and take note!
Don't care...really if WE fight we can sleep at night....
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Friday, October 16th at 8:43PM EST (link)If WE don’t and allow those like scozzafava to work with the R behind their name we SUFFER! This is a battle within the party for the RIGHT to say that the Republican brand is Conservative not D’lite and this is just one of those opportunities to man up and prove WE are here to stay!

Yes, standing by our principles allows us to sleep at night.
penguin2 (Diary) Friday, October 16th at 8:50PM EST (link)I like that, We certainly are not going to be any better off with a candidate that is to the left of the Democrat Owens running in the race. People don’t realize we have nothing to lose, but everything to gain in this particular race.

Forgetting Marie Stopes?
Menlo (Diary) Saturday, October 17th at 7:52PM EST (link)Her eugenicist counterpart in the UK managed to spread her tentacles all over the world, likely rivaling Planned Parenthood on a global scale. As one of China’s biggest abortion providers, their website claims they “work closely with Chinese family planning officials.” They also operate in Vietnam
Reports of racism continue today in the UK clinics. Naturally, the British government couldn’t resist putting her mug on a new postage stamp last year.
It’s hard to say who is worse. Either way, it only further confirms the true roots of the pro-abortion movement.

To him it is about image, access and money. He no longer cares about the people. As a matter of fact, I’m seriously thinking he wants to be part of the new stakeholder America.

harlan Friday, October 16th at 9:27PM EST (link)…that come with entreaties from various sources such as the RNC and AARP are put to good use at my house.
They are always returned, (free of charge), with a note from yours truly.
I give them something alright. I give ‘em what for.
This is why
Gmac Saturday, October 17th at 10:52AM EST (link)I spent 20 minutes on the phone with an RNC telephone solicitor explaining why it would be a cold day in hell before I contributed to them again.
Pro-abortion now? Good.
Rod_Patrick (Diary) Saturday, October 17th at 5:48PM EST (link)In 21st Century … pro-abortion stance is very humane and NON-DIVISIVE.
Media loves women who abort their fetus. Men love women who abort fetus. It’s most cost-effective means of solving problems of poverty, CO2 emission, future unemployment, yada yada.
NRCC members won elections. So they are experts on this. NOT the unelectable conservatives like us. NRCC members are wise and shrewd. mightiest.
RNC is just taking dictation. Pro-liberal stance and anti-conservatism will give more seats to Republicans.
Just ask Meghan McCain. Even McDonnell is helplessly trying to look moderate nowadays.
Don’t worry. Republicans will always vote fellow Republicans, right?
In a perfect world holding the line would be the best choice, but...
archer52 Saturday, October 17th at 6:00PM EST (link)As I have said before and again in the post below, choosing right over being practical is a dangerous move. In a perfect world we’d be able to send tons of conservatives into the Congress and sweep both moderate Republicans and Democrats from their positions. And Rambo would swing in guns blazing and manage to wipe out all the bad guys, not wing an innocent, and remain unscathed. But life doesn’t work out that way. If the conservative movement holds to their guns they will split the vote and the Dems will win more seats. In a way, the conservatives will show their power and demand more attention, but at what cost? Certainly there will be casualties.
I still think the Conservative movement must hijack the party and push the likes of Graham and Snowe and McCain to the kiddie table. (I do not believe a third party will work. It’s a numbers and infrastructure equation.) But to do that, you may have to accept being in the minority for a long time.
In my post I spend some time bouncing back and forth on this, with a possible plan in the end. It won’t be pretty or easy.

We can hold our principles AND win
steadfasttinsoldier (Diary) Sunday, October 18th at 1:56AM EST (link)Archer52, there is a way to both hold on to principles and win elections; take over the party. In every state the party has a local organization that feeds into the RNC. Here in NJ, we are organized by district into County Committees. Each County Committee is made up of elected representatives from each ward and precinct. The County Committee votes and decides who gets on the ballot with the party line. Find out what the structure is in your state, and run for your state’s version of County Committee. Find like-minded people in surrounding districts, get them to run. If you have to, infiltrate the Democrat Committee, too.
I live in a Democrat dictatorship. Republicans are powerless and so the local Committees offer weak candidates and strike deals with Democrats to get a piece of the patronage pie. I’ve just started infiltrating the Republican Committee. It’s frustrating though because our town chairman has the power to appoint members, but hasn’t done so. In part, because he is afraid. As a result, we’ve filled only 12 seats out of a possible 74. I am quietly recruiting people to run for those seats, but the next election is 3 years away.
I am considering starting a Citizens Action Committee to find conservative Republicans and Democrats to fill both county committees and to run for higher office. My dad, during the 70s and 80s built the Republican Coalition to take back the party from the “reform” (liberal) Republicans who then ran the organization, with just 9 people to start. In ’76 they ran a full slate of delegates for Reagan in this state, under the slogan “California Governor for President.” The Coalition wielded conservative power until it fell apart with Bush 41′s “read my lips” gaffe. The rest, as they say, is history.
