Hmmm….What was Dede promised by the White House?
ByThis is interesting. Before Dede Scozzafava officially endorsed the Democrat in NY23 it looks like she talked to a few people from high up the liberal food chain.
One Republican’s political action committee on Sunday suggested Democrats enticed former Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava with “favors” in return for her endorsement of the race’s remaining Democratic challenger.
In a fundraising pitch to supporters this afternoon, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) through IssaPAC railed on Scozzafava for choosing to support Bill Owens over Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate who effectively forced her out of the race on Saturday.
Issa also called on Republicans to donate promptly to Hoffman’s war chest so that the party writ large could “send a message to Barack Obama that he can’t buy this election.”
“Just hours before [Scozzafava] endorsed the Democrat, she received calls from Barack Obama’s chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. She also received calls from the Chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senator Chuck Schumer,” Issa wrote. “Was Scozzafava promised something in return for her endorsement of the Democrat? Time will tell.” ….
She’s a real piece of work, that one. I hope the New York GOP is paying attention. It’s time they dump Dede and stop allowing her to pose as a “moderate” republican. She’s not a moderate and she’s not a republican. It’s career politicians like Scozzi who ruined the Republican Party in New York. What a disgrace!

Scozzafava’s endoresment of the Democrat in the 23rd proves her critics right. Therefore, she had been lying all along to all the voters of the 23rd.
Hey Newt, what was that you were saying about party loyalty?
If GOP ‘leaders’ want loyalty, they ought to start returning the favor. Newt said he was only supporting the “local” party leaders. Newt, you’re from Georgia/Pennsylvania. That don’t sound too local to me.
