| #7 There is nothing remotely Republican about Dede, not even her big labor / UAW husband. Indeed SW, time for the RNC to catch a cluebat upside the head. |

| #6 I heard enough from these people during the late presidential election. The Northeast is full of "I've been a Republican all my life" blowhards who haven't the slightest goddamn clue what belonging to a party actually means. If you ain't fiscally conservative - and she ain't - and you ain't socially conservative - and she ain't - and you ain't economically conservative - and she definitely ain't - then what the fuck are you doing in this party? It isn't as if New York isn't full of more-viable-than-average third parties. Lunch Lady Dede apparently has made a career flashing red but working blue. Fuck her. She's a moby. Fuck all "moderates" like her. Line in the sand, stand on that side or the other, Jack. We can put back up the big tent after we see who all's been sneaking inside by cutting holes in the tarp. |

| #5 This is one election. This is exactly the time to teach the RNC that they can't put forward a socia!ist in Pub clothing and expect Pubs to vote for that person. When we tried to educate the RNC in 2006 and 2008, we lost more than we gained. Right now is the time to educate the RNC. Let Scozzafava come in third in the election. Make sure the RNC understands why. |

| #4 What exactly distinguishes the right from the left if not ideology? How will the GOP brand succeed in elections if our platform is indistinguishable from the other side? Better to lose this race than let Scozzafava vote in favor of every item in the Bammo agenda under the Republican banner. |

| #3 ideology matters, or don't you have any discomfort in a Daily-Kos-endorsed candidate? |

| #2 Bill Owens must be beside himself with joy. Watching the right split their votes on ideology. |

| #1 Has anyone figured out if Birkenstock boy w/ the "Hoffman: stop lying" sign was with Lunch Lady Dede or agin' her? |
