In fallout that reaches far beyond NY-23, Mr Owens broke 4 campaign promises during his first hour in congress.

That's got to be a record.

You'll remember that the RNC (Republican National Committee) endorsed that liberal in conservative clothing, Dede Scozzafava.

She was a conservative in name only. She was pro-'choice' and quite a few other things that put her at odds with true conservatives.

When she dropped out of the race, she then endorsed the Democrat Mr Owens. Thank you so much, RNC. You poured nearly $1 million dollars into her campaign and then she screwed you (and us) over.

How do you feel now, RNC? Take a moment to read Michelle Malkin's article about it (**, ***) where you'll find rejected RNC donation letters.

This is important because Ms Scozzafava "...shares the same socialist alliances with fellow SEIU/ACORN/New Party/Working Families Party activist Patrick Gaspard, the Obama White House political director who intervened in the race to secure Scozzafava’s endorsement of Owens." (***. Links are Ms Malkin's and are left intact.)

When she dropped out, she endorsed the Democrat Owens, who, as it turns out, broke four of his campaign promises in one damned hour!! Thank you so damn much, RNC. I'm gonna repeat one of the rejected RNC donation letters "NOT ONE MORE PENNY."

So what were the promises that that liar Mr Owens made?

1) He is now in favour of the "Affordable Healthcare for America Act," which is in direct contrast to his earlier position.

2) During the campaign "...he was firmly opposed to cutting Medicare benefits, taxing health care benefits, and increased taxes on the middle class in any way as you can see clearly in the screenshot below, taken directly from Mr. Owens' campaign website. " (*. See that site for the screenshot.) Well, the House "reform bill" contains provisions that will increase taxes on the middle class, tax health care benefits, and cuts Medicare benefits. Thank you so damned much RNC.

3) Mr Osama (er...OBAMA) said that the bill would not contain provisions for illegal immigrants as Mr Owens said he would not support. Said bill does now contain provisions for health care for illegal immigrants. Oops. You'll remember, I hope, that the Damocrats chastised Rep. Joe Wilson for calling Mr Osama (er...OBAMA) a liar, although it now seems true. Pity the Damocrats couldn't chastise their own members who called Mr Bush a liar during one of his State of the Union addresses. This is 'change?' How, exactly, is this different? Smells like the same sh!t as always to me.

4) I don't want to paraphrase the entire article, so I'll leave it to you to find this one.

Here's the end point: Mr Owens lied. He's a politician, so we expect that. But the RNC endorsed Ms Scozzafava over Mr Hoffman, poured nearly a million dollars into her coffers, and then she turned around and screwed the RNC and the conservatives over. How do you feel now, RNC?

Back when Mr Osama (er...OBAMA) was campaigning for the office of President, I sent a colleague of mine a letter to the RNC about ACORN and Freddie Johnson. You'll remember that ACORN pressured Mr Johnson into registering to vote an astonishing 72 times in Ohio!! (*4) The response I got back was "They are aware of the problem." I sent this person another missive asking if the RNC would get off its sorry ass and do anything. This is what I got back: "I was told that they're aware of the problem."

I'm going to be sending this colleague another missive shortly about Dede Scozzafava, Mr Owens, and Mr Hoffman and make it plainly aware to this person that any reply the RNC makes (if they have the guts to reply that is) will be posted here.

To the RNC: NOT ONE MORE DAMNED PENNY UNTIL YOU LEARN WHAT 'CONSERVATIVE' MEANS.

I sent my representative the following email and I'm going to repeat part of it. "I didn't leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me. Hopefully, one day you'll see that. Take your rose-coloured glasses off and you'll see a lot clearer."

NOT ONE MORE DAMNED PENNY, RNC. NOT ONE.
