De De? No, No.
BYE BYE
PRESS: “What about your meeting with Tutu?”
REAGAN: “Tutu? So-So.”
Robert Stacy McCain is reporting De De Scozzapalooza has dropped out of the NY23 race.
Many national Republicans had endorsed the Conservative–maybe that beast is teachable after all. Now let’s win/win, chop-chop.
heh heh.
Update: “Mornin’” Joe Scarborough ‘members, and he ‘members it differently than Newt; Robert Costa reports:
“Republicans will elect conservatives when given the chance. Even after I won the primary, I was told by the PAC community in Washington that I was too conservative to win the general election, that I was a radical extremist and only cared about abortion, cutting taxes, and smaller government. It was impossible to raise money since they had so poisoned the well for conservatives. They said I couldn’t win the general election in a district that no Republican had won since 1872. I ended up winning with 62 percent of the vote.
Almost all of the ‘moderate’ candidates that Newt and the NRCC were racing around trying to find in 1994 ended up losing. It was the conservatives who won. The same thing is happening now in upstate New York. I’m really stunned that national Republican leaders didn’t learn from 1994, 2006, or 2008. Time and time again, the GOP has lost not because it was too conservative, but because it was not conservative enough.
It used to infuriate me when Republican leaders from the House and Senate would come on television and defend President Bush for spending too much money, only to complain about Bush’s big spending and recklessness off-air in the green room. They were blindly following. That’s why we got destroyed in 2006 and 2008.
Even if the rest of America forgets about this race in a couple weeks, I hope that the Republicans in Washington are watching closely so that they can finally learn their lesson. If they want to gain power in 2010, they need to be more conservative and support candidates who want to balance the budget and cut taxes. If the Washington establishment says that you can’t win like that, just look to the class of ‘94. We did it.”
It Never Stops UPDATE: So I’m listening to the radio news, ABC, I think, and the gal says something like ‘For the first time in memory, this upstate New York district will not be represented by a Republican,’ clearly trying to spin this as a Republican defeat.
In fact, this is a victory for Republicans, at least Reagan Republicans. And Reagan Republicans are the Victory Wing of the party. Also the Victory Beak, Talons, Tail Feathers, Beating Heart and Eagle Eyes.
It would be cool, though, to have a Conservative Housemember, just to force reporters to say the word, and proving that not all “independents” caucus with the Dems.
And thanks to Kos for the Scozzafava endorsement–finally, a Kos endorsement makes a difference! He says this wasn’t really an endorsement:
“…So it’s official, I’m rooting for the Republican to win.”
When he realized he was helping conservatives, he issued a retraction which he calls a “steaming pile dogspile dog**t.” Agreed. Just like the original endorsement.
Onward…
