WHO MUTINIED AND LEFT THE PARTY, THOSE WHO PICKED DEDE SCOZZAFAVA OR THOSE WHO WANT DOUG HOFFMAN?

Reagan used to say [WIKI:] "I didn't leave the Democratic Party. The party left me."^[50] .

The same can be said about Hoffman and his supporters: THEY DIDN'T LEAVE THE GOP; THE GOP LEFT THEM!

Some folks have referred to them as mutineers.

But that bass-ackwards.

The Hoffman folks are the one remaining true to GOP values; the Scozzafava folks are the ones who have cynically ABANDONED principles in the hopes if winning an election.

Hoffman represents the core values of the GOP and his district better than Scozzafava.

END OF STORY.

• PAWLWENTY IS 10000000% RIGHT ON THIS.

Governor Pawlenty sent RedState the following statement:

“We cannot send more politicians to Washington who wear the Republican jersey on the campaign trail, but then vote like Democrats in Congress on issues like card check and taxes. After reviewing the candidates’ positions, I’m endorsing Doug Hoffman in New York’s special election. Doug understands the federal government needs to quit spending so much, will vote against tax increases, and protect key values like the right to vote in private in union elections.”
