Ex-Republican challenger in the New York 23rd Congressional district, Diedre “Dede” Scozzafava, was all but forced out of her place because the far right of the Republican party are backing her Conservative Party opponent, Doug Hoffman. This is something that troubles me…

I have said time and time again, to watch out for ex-Governor Sarah Palin. I really think that she is a poison to America with her hate, and even though she know little about running America, she has a political capability to strike fatal political venom. The fatal concoction is that the Liberals tend to disregard Governor Palin as much as she has the potential to harm them. They just do not get it, and that is why they lose elections! I think they are going to lose this election too.

It is Governor Palin that turned the tide against Ms. Scozzafava. You think Doug Hoffman would have a chance without her backing? After her backing, a lot of Republicans backed Hoffman. Apart from Steve Forbes, all the people I know backing Hoffman are, to put it crudely, nuts. We are talking about, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Governor Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, Bill Kristol, of course Rush Limbaugh, etc.

And look at the reason why they back Hoffman! It is not that they hate Scozzafava for her policies. They just do not like a person that differs in thought from them! Scozzafava worked with a group that worked with ACORN, which the nuts on the Right think is made by Lucifer himself. She is for gay-marriage that drives them mad, and she made the cardinals sin of being pro-choice. These are the reasons they hate her!

It is not the debt as they claim it out to be! Her stance does not differ as much from Hoffman when it comes to taxes. It does not differ on the agenda that the conservatives put it out to be. They have become a fanatically puristic party and I do not like that!

The first reason is that the Liberals do not have as many “leaders” as the Republican party has, or use to have. The Republicans had people General Colin Powell, (ex) Senator Chuck Hagel and Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who are Presidential material, were thrown under the bus by the Republican Party for being too liberal. These people are the moderates!

The second reason is that the country is going to head in the far right doldrums like Hitler’s Germany, or more likely, a fundamentalist Iran, rather than a democracy that we are today. I read an Washington Independent article sent to me recently that quoted Governor Tim Pawlenty who said that Newt Gingrich is becoming too liberal. Newt Gingrich!? Come on! To me, he is already too far right, but he was not as loony as many are today! And I am an Independent!

Who is next for them? Meg Whiteman, who we at ST have endorsed for Governor of California? They are already setting their sights on Senator Lindsey Graham, who they claim must work less with the “enemy”, the Democrats. The nuts also called Senator John McCain too progressive in the last election!

I want the far right to lose in this race. Therefore, I would endorse Democrat Bill Owens. To be honest, the only Bill Owens I knew recently was the former Governor of Colorado! The only thing I know about this is that he is pro-gay marriage, pro-choice, for gun control and he is against the Public Option regarding health care. However, if he stops the far left train, that would be good enough for me.

That being said, I do not think that the Democrats would take that seat even though Owens is technically in the lead. The district is too conservative and I think that the majority of the 20% that supported Scozzafava vote for Hoffman or not vote at all. I cannot see Owens taking 70% of Scozzafava’s vote that he needs to win the seat right now.
