Why NY-23 Matters ...

I've got a column up titled, "NY-23: How Sarah Palin Stands to Win (and Charlie Crist Stands to Lose)."
There were a few lines which I thought would be important to share here. The first is this:
In reality, this race is about much more than one House seat. It is a proxy battle in the long-running war between establishment Republicans and grassroots conservatives.
... And then this,
If conservatives have their way, Dede Scozzafava is merely the first casualty of this war.
Finally, I conclude with looking to future races where conservatives may seek to replicate the NY-23 game plan,
As RedState's Erickson told me, "The establishment has now learned it can be beaten from within its own base . . . If the GOP wants to fight the base in California and Florida, game on."
Read the whole thing.

Hopefully, the next set of casualties will be the RINO's and DemRepubs. The old wink-nod boys, you scratch my butt I'll scratch your's clique must be taken apart. Only then will we begin to get true representatives who care about protecting and strengthening the Constitution, will work toward shrinking our government, decrease the economic abyss created by most of the dems, and keep our defenses strong. We need stronger candidates to vote for in the primaries. We sorely need term limits! We are fighting for our country which is under attack from within! |

Many are suggesting that the outcome of today's elections are as much a referendum on Barack Obama as they are about the political positions of the people. There is one more thing that the media, pundits and the Dems are overlooking.
It was clear that a majority of Americans were jubilant when Barack Obama was elected president. Their disappointment with his broken promises and a serious lurch to the left however, is understandable. When the result of that disappointment was to find themselves labeled as racists, un-American, mobs and Neanderthals, disappointment turned to disgust.
The Dems thought they could slander, intimidate and insult the American people with impunity. That, more than anything is why NY-23 matters.

he won't allow to be drilled and pumped off our Florida Shore--while the ChiComs happily drill for the Cubans and Themselves--rolls off his perfectly coiffed gray hair and his flawless tanning club tan is the Pluperfect Politician Poster Boy.
Lady Sarah is rugged, independent, says it like it is, insensitive to RINOS & Lib-Lefties, shoots moose & wolves and flim-flam artists. The absolute opposite of Smooth Charlie. Go, Sarah! Go, Hoffman! |

Moronic Repubs, keep pretending to be conservative with questionaires and survey questions, but then appease and bend over to be just like the Dems. Enough!! I like that their surveys are post paid, I send every one of them back with comments on almost every question as to how they do just as the Dems do, and that I will not send them one dime until they stop supporting Crist and, until she quit, Scazzofava and their ilk. They don't seem to get it. The more they push leftists just because they have an R after their name, the closer to following the Whigs they get. |

that Gov. Palin certainly has strengthened her position as conservative leader with this NY-23 race. Newt only looks like a buffoon who aspires to be a political player, which is strange, since he fomented the '94 Republican Revolution, and was Speaker of the House. It seems he's trying too hard to be politically savvy rather than promote the conservative cause.
Huckabee didn't endorse Hoffman, which was unfortunate, but apparently he got criticism for endorsing a candidate earlier this year that had paid him speaking fees: http://race42008.com/2009/10/30/huckabee-explains-position -on-ny-23-race/
and he didn't want to be accused of that again, since he was paid to speak at a Conservative Party function, whose candidate was Hoffman. Not sure how strong or weak that argument is, though.
Huckabee has been, on his facebook page, urging members to make calls on Hoffman's behalf, though, which makes up for the non-endorsement a little (and, at least he didn't endorse the RINO like Newt did). |

So many on the left thought that Sarah Palin was "done" when she resigned as Governor of Alaska, but here we are are months later watching her take on the GOP elites and seems to be winning. Not bad for a woman whose days were over said the leftist on these boards. I also think that at least two DIABLOS (Democrat In All But Label Only) are worried. The first would be Charlie Crist in Florida because I am hard pressed to believe that Palin will not endorse Rubio, and Kay Bailey Hutchison in Texas who is running against Governor Rick Perry, who is Sarah Palin's closest political ally and Palin has already endorsed Perry and will stump for him early next year. Yes send the DIABLOS packing or as Reagan said of them, "LET THEM GO THEIR OWN WAY!" |

even if a conservative party does grow strong enough to eliminate the GOP, it will through time take up the same putrid pseudo-elites that are in the DP and GOP. it is kind of a law of political dynamics.
that is why "the freedom of the citizens exists only in eternal vigilance". heard that or something like that somewhere.
whenever a group becomes powerful enough to wield power, corruption inevitably follows. |
|
that is not to say we should stop trying to make the GOP more conservative or replace it with a party that respects the hard earned liberties of the first american revolution.
we can deal with the subsequent corruption when it arises.
the important thing is that the pseudo-elites who thirst for power realize they can |
