[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

Well, a RINO is always a RINO!

[Tanniker Smith]

DeDe should have a "D""D" next to her name.
Switch parties, lady, but see how much respect they give you.

[ChuckHam]

She isn’t a RINO!! She’s a Dim! Newt and the rest of the Repubs better get on board with us or their going down. Glad she showed her true colors. Bye bye bitch.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I tried to comment on this on Michael Steeles Facebook page, it vanished instantly. The High Poobahs got played for fools again, and they ain’t happy!

Gingrich was on FOXNEWS this morning, and he couldn’t conceal his bitterness. Believe me, this is a HUGE defeat for him.

[ellery]

If Boehner, Pete Sessions, Gingrich, et al thought they could get away with it, I bet they would endorse the donk, too.

If the National Republican Congressional Committee had not endorsed, funded and staffed Scozzafava's campaign, she would have had to drop out many weeks ago. They have done *more* damage than Gingrich and Steele, while hiding behind the faceless NRCC organization.

As of this morning, Boehner, the head of the NRCC, was still pushing "moderates" and the big tent: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2375879/posts.

With that, I give you:

The National Republican Congressional Committee

Rep. John Carter, TX (in pic, far left); DC office: (202) 225-3864

Rep. Eric Cantor, VA (third from left); DC office: (202) 225-2815

Rep. John Boehner, OH (fourth from left); DC office: (202) 225-6205

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, WA; DC office: (202) 225-2006

Rep. Pete Sessions, TX (sixth from left); DC office: (202) 225-2231

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, MI (not pictured); DC office: (202) 225.8171

Note: Rep. Mike Pence, second from left, strenuously objected to Scozzafava, and refused to endorse her or send her money. In retaliation, pro-leftist house members like those above anonymously told reporters that Pence isn't supporting Dede because he's anti-woman.

[Hildy]

This is good..we need to let the leftists in our party know that they might as well become Dems because we will not support them. I’m glad this happened. I think she just assured the Conservative victory.

[Condor51]

I predicted this the day she dropped out.

[Paging Mr. Newt Gingrich. Please pick up the White Courtesy Phone.]

[freespirited]

This could be career suicide for her. She has no future with the GOP, so she needs to switch parties. But how likely is this district to send her back to the state assembly after she does that?

I don’t know, but I have a feeling the only reason she became a Republican is that she felt she couldn’t win as a RAT in that district.

[omega4179]

Typical northeast female rino too, first sign of trouble and they take their ball and go to the Donks.

[ully2]

We need to purge the GOP of these Limo Repubs as soon as possible.

I just happened to get a letter from the RNC yesterday. The timing couldn’t be better. I plan to send it back with a big fat ZERO and my opinion in large red letters: “You people endorsed Scozzafava, who is now endorsing the Democrat nomineee. You’re crazy if you think we’re giving our hard-earned money to the group that pushes quasi-Democrats. Maybe when you start backing Conservatives we’ll think about giving money to the RNC again.” They’ll have to pay the postage when I sent it back, so my net contribution will be -$0.44.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

I’d love to hear what Newt and Steele have to say about this turn of events.

[Mad Dawg]

What with with Arlen and Dede as examples, maybe some of the great ones, including Dubya, might come to see that it's time for some soul-searching at the highest levels in the party.

Newt's support of this beeyatch and Dubya's of Specter suggests to me that it's too easy to fall into an in-group, political elite frame of mind. We may not win this fight, we might could lose next year, but Reagan conservatism lives and is a force to be reckoned with.

[PAR]

I wonder if Dede’s decision to support Owens was made in part to sow further dissension between conservatives and the GOP establishment.

Would probably only be possible if she was directed to do so by democrat party officials because I don’t believe she is that clever.

[Gritty]

How’s that “Big Tent” workin’ out for us, Newt?

[radioone]

Reading the polls of the last few days it makes one wonder if the folks in NY-23 didn’t have a better handle on the candidates than Steele and Gingrich. And, it sure doesn’t say much for the “Republicans” that chose her. I think I’ll continue to send my donations to the individual races, and Not D.C.

[TexasFreeper2009]

A liberal democrat with a “R” after her name endorsed a democrat!

SHOCKING!

[HighlyOpinionated]

Dede Scozzafava is definitely scuzz.
