Thanks for this behind the scenes real truth of what really happened AWD.

Newt is a liar..he’s been this way for so long back now I can’t remember the years that have passed since I figured it out watching him in the House and such…plus the back-stabbing evil cold things he did to real conservatives that were in races they could have won but he cut off the support finanacially…and renigged in some campaign stops he was suppossed to make for them etc.

He is a slime-ball deluxe…I’m just glad many more people are seeing him for what he really is…it’s taken long enough.

Thank goodness for the internet as well…these creatures of all stripes can’t get away with what they all have for years and years.

Btw…A big shout-out for M.P. Leahy.

If I dared go near Twitter today…I’d never get dinner done.

Saving that for a day when can play on the computer all day long…which is rare..but looking forward to it.

tazz…

I hope so…I hope more than anything Hoffman wins…

We need to clean Newt and all his big-wig ilk out of the power they hold in the GOP/RNC…they are the problem…they had better get the message.

Unfortunately their egos are so big, the msm keeps having them nodding in agreement most of the time…they will never go away in my opinion.

I just want their weight to go away behind the scenes…I no longer care how often they are on the TV screen..they need to just get their paws/power out of our lives.

They have helped the downward spiral we are in now spinning in with their money/power/influence etc.

I’d like it to be settled like an old ad was for Draino or some-such…”flush your troubles down the drain”…

That would solve everything…and we the people have to do it.

Don’t feel like the Lone-Stranger…other than a handful in congress now…I feel the same.

While I do live in NY – I don’t live in NY 23. However I spent quite a few years at -and retired from the Army at Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division, which are in the NY 23 (I retired to the NY 26, Tom Reynolds (R), now Rep. Chris Lee’s (R) district.

NY 23 is a dream come true for those of us in NY who are true Republicans as well as Conservatives. So much so that we are donating $$$, time and anything else to the NY-23 in the hopes we are finally sending a message to our State Republican Committee.

NY Republican Party has the same problems that the National seems to have. The candidates they run (1) are either rich enough to fund their own campaigns or (2) The individual they feel is the easiest to elect e.g. the cheapest to run, especially since NY is a blue state because of the liberal cities and suburbs of NY, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo.

If one looks at a county to county map it becomes obvious that the vast majority of upstate, central and western NY counties – located away from the cities – are red counties but the State and County Committee’s continuously runs those who are rich enough to finance their own campaigns or who are they feel are the cheapest to run / easiest to elect.

The State Republican Committee is one of the reasons NY is one bankruptcy step behind California and losing residents in droves because of high taxes and the impossibility of doing business of any sort.

Something I would find humorous – if not so hypocritical – is the fact that now that Hoffman has stepped out in the lead – RINO’ s like ex-govie George Pataki are endorsing him e.g. “hey guys don’t forget me – I’m a conservative too” – Sorry George – too many NYers remember you all too well.

Back to the question at hand – was Newtie lied to? The fact is – Newt is a RINO ass, as is evident with his big tent crap – but I do believe Newt was mislead by the whacks who chair the State and County Committee’s. I also believe the article attached – in that – the “Party Powers” such as Tom Reynolds are so out of touch with the Republicans in the state that unless they are “relieved” by new blood – NY may never come around.

Although I have met Tom Reynolds on several occasions, I primarily dealt with his staff on the behalf of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans on veterans and Veterans Administration Issues. Incidentally Mr. Reynolds – just never seemed to have the time to get personally involved in vet’s issued while Mr. Lee has.

I was never really impressed that Reynolds actually gave a crap – other than making sure he could get votes from the organization he was “helping”.

AWD-

Ol’ Newtie lost me the day I saw him on TV, sitting on a couch with Nasty Nancy, trying to convince us that wind power was the new savior..

Not so sure about Hannity any longer, as he seems to be in love with “Mr. Speaker.”

Hey AWD,

Keep up the great work, I’ve been telling everyone I know about this site since I discovered it in August. I didn’t realize what a piece of crap Newt was so thanks for all of the info on him and the other RINOs.
