Tea Parties Call on GOP to "Dump Dede"

Written by Bill Hennessy on October 22, 2009 - 2 Comments
ACTION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

While the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition endorses values and not candidates, choosing instead to focus on education and action, it is clear that in the NY-23 race for Congress, there is only one candidate that embodies the traditional American values for which the Tea Party movement is fighting. The only acceptable candidate is Doug Hoffman.

Because the Tea Parties are about action, the most powerful action Tea Partiers could take is to donate time or money now to the Doug Hoffman for Congress committee and/or go to the District and volunteer on the campaign.

We are extremely disappointed that the Republican Party (and leaders like Newt Gingrich) has missed the message of the Tea Parties and continues to take conservative voters for granted. We applaud all courageous statesmen (Fred Thompson, Michelle Bachmann, and Dick Armey) and call on other GOP officials to put America’s values over traditional, often corrupt and morally bankrupt, power structures.

Scozzafava is an imposter in this election insofar as she does not fit the values of the district or the center-right country. The honorable move would be for her to remove herself from a race she cannot win. In choosing not to do this, she and her supporters are casting their lot for party loyalty as opposed to loyalty to conservatism or to the prosperity of their country.

Tomorrow, beginning in St. Louis at noon, several tea party cities will publicly demand GOP denunciation of the nomination of Dede Scozzafava and demand support for conservatism. We will call upon all Republicans to either join us or stand against us.

We ask that all Republican officials decide now: do they stand for principle and limited government or are they party loyalists? They or the voters decide, it’s their choice. http://www.nationwideteapartycoalition.com http://www.dumpdede.com

    Newt was on Greta and in his last comment to her, Newt states “you strengthen yourself by attracting more people than by driving them away” implying that you must compromise your conservative principles in order to expand the party. I disagree. You stand on conservative principles and let the people come to you. He is supporting Dede Scozzafava in New York. Arlen Spectre has already left the Republican Party. The Republicans do not need another Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins. I believe Newt is positioning himself to run for President as a middle of the roader. He stated the Era of Reagan Conservatism is over. I remember when Gary Gill was leading Dick Gephardt in the polls until Newt praised Gephardt. He did a Climate Change commercial with Pelosi, and teamed up with Sharpton on education. Is Newt a real conservative Republican?
