Yabba-Dabba Dede Now Misleading The Press

Via TPM, it appears as though Dede (GOP Droppings) Scozzafava is now lying to the press. Or, it could be TPM is making things up. It's always so hard to know who the liar is when there is more than one progressive involved.

Scozzafava: No Republicans Bothered To Call Me After I Dropped Out

Dede Scozzafava, the New York state Assemblywoman and former Republican candidate in the NY-23 special election, told the Syracuse Post-Standard about her experience in withdrawing from the race and endorsing Democrat Bill Owens -- and decried the national conservative activists who mobilized against her and in favor of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.

In an on the record exchange with 2008 Romney Delegate Michael Patrick Leahy R-TN, now of TCOTReport, he tried to call Dede repeatedly on Saturday and Sunday and left her two messages which were never returned. Point being, what Dede really means is, the guys writing me big checks disappeared and like a fraudulent welfare queen she's ticked off because the well ran dry when people found out the truth about her.

Time for Yabba dabba Dede to crawl back under the rock with the rest of her progressive friends in the Democrat Party. Her fifteen minutes are almost up and she doesn't do well in the light of day. She kind of looks like a mushroom now that I think of it. If she had any character she would have taken Leahy's calls and had a frank chat. But, hey she's a progressive. Why should she be held accountable for anything she does?

Scozzafava said that she received calls from two key New York Democrats, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Steve Israel, who she says did not ask her for any endorsement but instead simply told her they were sorry for how she'd been treated by the GOP. As for the Republicans, Scozzafava said: "The one thing that wasn't occurring, as the Republicans in Washington were changing their allegiances, no one bothered to call me."

Scozzafava denounced national conservatives for "the amount of hate and lies and the deceitfulness" used against her: "I don't believe that should be the characteristics that define the Republican Party. I think people should be allowed to have discussions and reasonable disagreements. But this was a full frontal assault on me personally and politically, for weeks."

"Scozzafava said that she received calls from two key New York Democrats, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Steve Israel, who she says did not ask her for any endorsement but instead simply told her they were sorry for how she'd been treated by the GOP."

Well, that's funny, given that the local press reported the exact opposite two days ago.

"Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., was among those who urged Dierdre K. Scozzafava to endorse Democratic congressional candidate William L. Owens, the senator's spokesman said Saturday.

The spokesman, Maxwell Young, said the senator called a number of north country political leaders after Ms. Scozzafava suspended her campaign and had more than one conversation with the Republican candidate ahead of her announcement. He said the senator also called other Democratic leaders about the situation, including White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel."

She's definitely an Obama Party member; lie, lie, lie, even when the facts are already out there.

Next, there will be reports are coming in of ... "aborted fetuses fighting with police" ... in the streets of NY-23.

The humanity .. the humanity ...

"But this was a full frontal assault on me personally and politically, for weeks."

Sarah Palin has put up with it for an entire year, and she's still fighting. Dede's a wimp.

Leason learned - b/f the GOP hands out money to a scuzzyfava type candidate again, at least get that candidate to sign a contract regarding what they will and will not do. I bet that if scuzzyfava had to choose b/t paying back the 900K or endorsing Hoffman, she would have chosen the later.

"at least get that candidate to sign a contract regarding what they will and will not do."

Salin would be proud.

This is a snake. She never was a Republican let alone a 'moderate'. If the truth were known, she was probably put up by the Democratic Party leadership to try and run, thereby assuring their control even if a "Republican" candidate got in. When the conservatives took a stand, the DNC leadership convinced her to support Owens to assure his nomination. Either way, she is finished in politics. If by some chance Owens wins, she is no longer relevant and will be quickly thrown under the bus. As for the Republican Party, well, they would not touch her with a 10 ft. pole.

"MoveOn.org is sending out emails today seeking more contributions for its campaign to defeat any Democratic senator who does not fully support Obamacare."

What do the Republican and Democratic Parties have in common? They're both purging Democrats!

Whole lotta deceit going on. Couldn't be that the person writing about it has been a little deceitful himself? I mean where does the deceit end? Conservatives remind me of the hippies in the sixties. They had this idea that everything was going to change in their favor. They had guys like Limbaugh and Beck named Hoffman and Rubin. They really didn't have much to do with the truth. Like I said, there's a whole lot of deceit going on.

[O!]

Yes, craig, you're being very deceitful. You've got a whole lot of deceit going on.

Care to make a $1000 bet on which party does better in the 2010 midterms? No? Didn't think so.

You're deceitful, but not stupid enough to put your money where your lying mouth is.
