What's a Scozzafava?

Certainly not a conservative Republican...or anything close. According to Michelle Malkin's article on GOPUSA.com at any rate. She is one Michelle I really love.

Seems the 23rd congressional district of New York is looking for new representation, since the most recent occupant of that office was moved to the office of Secretary of the Army. That's reassuring in its own right.

The worst part of the whole thing, is Dede Scozzafava is getting the backing of the establishment GOP. I would have thought they would at least have given their support to a real conservative. But that just goes to show the arrogance of political hucksters, be they dems or republicans.

According to Ms. Malkin's article, Scozzafava is a huge supporter of ACORN, as well as a close ally of ACORN, something called WFP, the "Working Families Party", another socialist group. Apparently, Scozzafava favors abortion rights, and gay marriage, not to mention higher taxes, which is fine. But she should be running as a leftwing socialist, not a moderate Republican. I don't believe in moderate anything...Republican or Dem. If you can't make up your mind to be one or the other, why the hell bother? Also, her husband is a big union leader, and supporter of the "card-check" plan being pushed. She supports that as well, and if it passes, the dems will be able to write their own checks. They pretty much can do that anyway. Fact of the matter is, nobody up there can resist spending our money...till it runs out. And right now, that doesn't seem to be far away...the running out of our money, that is.

Ms. Malkin did go on to mention that a group backed by Fred Thompson is supporting Doug Hoffman, Conservative Party candidate for the same seat. Something called "The Club for Growth" is also behind Hoffman. I don't know if that's the same as Fred Thompson.

That whole scene leads me to believe the Republicans have learned nothing from the past, including the Tea Parties of the summer, and the march of 9/12. Almost two million people, and they seem to have forgotten already, or just don't give a damn.

The people of New York's 23rd district have a chance to show the establishment who's boss. I sure hope they show up and vote.

Come on 2010.

Don't miss a chance to Clean House!
