RNC Supports Dierdre Scozzafava

She is a Bailout Republican in Name Only

The Republican Party has run into a fire storm in New York over its selection of Dierdre K. Scozzafava.

Republicans have tried to tap into the Tea Party movement by sliding into the speaker's list at ralleys. However, the movement is resisting attempts by Republicans to co-opt the freedom movement, particularly when voting records indicate the politician is nothing more than your typical big government Republican.

Knowing the momentum of the movement has inspired huge protests, the Republican leadership including Micahel Steele, still hand-picked Scozzafava. Newt Gingrich endorsed her. The Republican National Committee also confirmed Friday that it was making a six-figure transfer to the National Republican Campaign Committee to help in that race.

Scozzafava supports big government Democrat policies such as massive tax increases and the Democrat-sponsored Union legislation called “card check.” That Card Check proposed law would create legal advantages for organizing workplaces by eliminating secret ballots in union campaigns. She has raised taxes so frequently in the past that even her Democrat opponent is using her history of voting for tax increases against her. She also supported President Obama's Trillion Dollar stimulus//porkulus law enacted earlier this year, and the $700 Billion Wall Street Bailout.

Scozzafava is affiliated with government entangled organizations like ACORN and the SEIU.

She is also pro abortion and refused to respond to questions about whether she might support health care reform that included federal funding for abortion. In a debate, Scozzafava indicated she would favor public funding for abortion. Faced with tough questions about that issue by a Weekly Standard reporter, Scozzafava called the police. She was also a member of the Planned Parenthood Board. Here is a YouTube video of her accepting March 10th, 2008, Margaret Sanger Award.

In response, Republicans have created a split in the party between the liberal RNC candidate, Scozzafava, and a conservative candidate, Doug Hoffman. Tea Party blogs across the nation are linking Doug Hoffman for Congress and Dump Dede to their sites. St. Louis Tea Party.

The RNC has entered a battle with Tea Party freedom fighters. This controversy over a New York's 23d district shows that the RNC leadership continues to be completely out of touch with the freedom movement.
