Dede Scozzafava
New York state Republican leaders are considering “punishing” Dede Scozzafava for endorsing Democrat candidate Bill Owens in last week’s 23rd District Congressional race.
New York Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb has openly floated the idea of removing Scozzafava as GOP floor leader. He has also expressed his displeasure with her in private meetings this week.
Scozzafava has apologized for her endorsement but reportedly stands behind it.
“If this is my end, so be it,” she told the Watertown Daily Times. “At least I know we have a congressional representative who is going to put the interests of the district above the interests of the Club for Growth and the Rush Limbaughs o the world.”

Punish her- make her have to go to bed with David Paterson!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a sweetheart!
The Party should:
1. Remove her as Floor Leader,
2. Remove/keep her from seeking committee assignments,
3. Withdraw all Party funds for re-election and endorsements,
4. Encourage a primary opponent to run against her in the next state house race.
Let her switch parties as she always intended to do.
Actually, the punishment should be that she state that she is no longer a Republican and go to the Democratic Party. She is more of a Democrat than the person she endorsed. She supports ACORN and may not have gotten money from them but I believe I heard that ACORN did support her and gave money to her Democratic buddy. I also blame the RNC for not supporting the other person when she pulled out. If they had maybe we would have someone going to Congress that cares about AMERICA. I haven’t seen a Democrat in Congress that is not corrupt! Yes, I went to TEA Parties and talked to a number of Democrats that will remain Democrats but help vote a Democrat out in favor of an Independent or even a Republican.
Brian Kolb is a hypocrite! Dede Scozzafava played her part in the Machin-ation that was determined to keep a non-Machine man out of Congress. If anyone believes Brian Kolb and his expressions of “displeasure,” I will sell that person the Tappan Zee Bridge.
The fact that it’s “may punish” instead of “has punished” speaks loudly as to lack of courageous and principled leadership. There are so many RINOs in the Big Tent, they’ve crowded out the elephants.
David,
You’re correct.
As I’ve said in a post on another thread about this subject: The Republican Party in NYS is practically non-existent, thanks in large part to RINOs who’ve controlled the party for decades such as Al D’ Amato, George Pataki, and Joe Bruno. They never developed the party beyond their own self-interests, they never stood on Republican/Conservative principles, and they never groomed the next generation of party leaders. As a result, the party leadership today is made up of a hodgepodge of blind, feckless, morally bankrupt, and intellectually dishonest douchebags. However anti-American and Marxist they’ve become, at least the Democrap Party has the ability to lead its members and make them toe the party line.
So, she gets SCREWED OVER by the GOP, then they want to punish her? They PICKED HER as the Candidate, then during the campaign they SCREW Her Over she dump her for another, and she takes it personally as she SHOULD HAVE, and now that they Caused their MAN to LOSE the seat, because they screwed over the Woman, they are now going to punish her?
And the Republicans Think they can Win in 2010? NOT with the current attitudes.
She is More Conservative than Most Republican candidates.
Check her RECORD before you cast aspersions on her, cause she is More Republican than Most Republicans!
Love hearing people that were happy to see her thrown under the bus talk about loyalty. Stab someone in the back and then complain when they fall in your way and not to the side. How rude of the corpse. Also, she probably was picked because she has won several times before by big margins in several of the most populous counties in NY23. She was ahead till she was the newest trick to help the Club for Growth raise money.
BTW, has anyone taken a good look at Scozzafava’s appearance. She looks like your typical Left-Wing, fugly, obese, dyke, with a buzz-cut and who probably never bought a tube of lipdstick or a make-up kit in her life. Someone should introduce her to Jenny Craig. Either that, or she should have her jaws wired shut for at least 6 months. While they’re at it, they should bring her to Macy’s and introduce her to the make-up counter.
It’s no wonder the Left-Wingnuts are so in love with her.
