That Was Then, This Is Now

“I have been a Republican my entire life, I will be a Republican until I die. I believe in the Republican party that stands for less government interference in the lives of individuals. I believe in self-sufficiency versus government dependence. I believe in lower taxes, less government regulation, I believe in less government spending.”

– Dede Scozzafava, Friday, October 30, 2009.

“Speaking with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Scozzafava warned Republicans that “you have ideology that’s really not based on any sort of substance that can move an agenda forward, that can really help people in this country.”

– The Politico, Thursday, November 12, 2009.

    “23rd vote count getting narrower.”

    I don’t think Doug Hoffman has a realistic chance of winning the contest. He will fall a little short. That means Dede Scozzafava’s betrayal was probably the deciding factor.

    Now, I’ve only be exposed to Dede Scozzafava for a short period of time. There was her press conference in front of the Hoffman campaign office. And we have these paired statements. Insanity? Venality? A total lack of self-relection?
    The NY State GOP has been exposed to Dede Scozzafava for years and she has proven herself beyond acceptable for them. She was not only an elected official for the GOP, she was elected within the GOP caucus of the State Assembly as (I believe) Assistant Whip. She’s a nutcase, how could they elect her to anything?
