Eric Kleefeld first reported that Rep. John Linder (R-Ga.) would endorse Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman in the New York 23rd Congressional District special election, but Linder’s reason for opposing Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava is truly interesting. From the press release:
The biggest concern I have with the Republican candidate in this race is that her long held positions on unions, taxes and spending incline me to believe that she will give Nancy Pelosi a Republican vote so that these many outrageous grabs for power and control will be called “bipartisan.” I am confident that Doug will not do that.
The worst possible scenario is bipartisan support for the president.

I absolutely agree. When you are right and someone else is wrong, there is no value in compromise for its own sake. If you disagree, I think you should chew on a box of rusty nails. If you don't want to, then you should chew on half a box of rusty nails and pat yourself on the back for being “bipartisan” … all the way to the Emergency Room.

Win or Lose, Hoffman is the right choice for conservative valued folks. The message is to the NRCC and RNC to choose conservatives, not RINO's.
As an Independent voter, I am appalled at the spending this congress is pushing thru. As well as the “break the bank” healthcare, Cap and Trade, and soon… amnesty for illegal aliens. Pushing our national debt at 14 Trillion or more is not responsible government.
Why is it so hard for democrats to understand reducing taxes to stimulate the economy is the best thing they could do?
Tort reform?
Remove state barriers for health insurance?

That's the slickeest one sentence straw-man argument I've ever seen, Weigel. But the worst possible outcome has nothing to do with the President. The worst possible outcome is one that lets our perenially over-confident, yet chronically under-performing government get its nose into any business, let alone health care.
These days “bi-partisanship” is a euphemism for “willing to roll over and play dead”. If you're not willing to do that, say the Democrats, why, then you're an obstructionist or even a racist.

Someone should dig into Dede Scozzafava's relationship with Seaway Capital Corp. in which she was a shareholder and her brother conned millions of dollars out or unsuspecting investors.
