I read an earlier story about this. Apparently the Republican candidate was a good, solid conservative, but some nitwit Tea Party boss nominated a Tea Party candidate who was actually further to the left.
If I understood correctly, this was not a fake Democrat Tea Party candidate, but a Tea Party boss whose nose was out of joint because the Republicans wouldn’t do what he told them.
If so, then the national Tea Party needs to take some kind of action. Or conservatives in New York.
She was. There was nothing wrong with Corwin. She was a good conservative and would have made a good member of Congress. Many TEA Party people had been backing Bellavia, and when he didn't get the nomination he and a few of his supporters got all butthurt and endorsed Davis (who is obviously a liberal Dem).
Whatever anyone may have thought about the GOP nominating Corwin, the fact that Bellavia endorsed the fake TEA Party candidate is a good indicator the New York GOP made the right decision. Bellavia is a dirt bag for doing this.
National Tea Party was here campaigning for Corwin. Everyone knew Davis was fake. I think people were bummed by the Robocalls the republicans inundated us with. They were really disgusting ads and we got so many that we took the phone off the hook. It made me not even want to vote, but I held my nose and did my part.
Not a fake? This "Tea Party" candidate ran as a DEMOCRAT in past elections. How's that for fake?
This happened a lot in the 2010 election. For some reason, conservatives think the Tea Party candidates (no matter lack of credentials or how poorly they present themselves) are preferable to GOPers with solid track records. Think O'Donnell, Angle, Joe Miller and numerous House races where "Tea Party" (sometimes ron paul's Campaign for Liberty disguised as Republican) and Club for Growth pushed their own candidate when there was already a credible conservative/Republican running.
