The Bloomberg headline reads: "Republican Scozzafava Backs Democrat in New York Congress Race". Many are speculating about whether this one New York congressional race says something about the future of the GOP and perhaps the nation. This race and Scozzafava's move definitely say something about the GOP.
Scozzafava's action reinforces the belief that there's not much difference between the two major parties. This is particularly scary since we have the most extreme far-left Congress and White House in the nation's history. There is no way a conservative could have made such a move if they understood the danger we face with our country in the hands of Nancy Pelosi. Scozzafava should have the decency to put country before party or her ego and hurt feelings. She could have gracefully bowed out and kept silent even if she didn't want to support Hoffman.
Like many people who are fed up with the current crew in Washington, I don't see the Republicans as the solution. The Republicans are just as responsible for the mess in our government as the Democrats. It's time for some people who respect and appreciate individual rights, personal property, less intrusive government and the Constitution!
If the New York race goes to Hoffman, it doesn't mean that there's a new political party on the horizon. Hopefully it means that there is a chance for real change.
