SCOZZAFAVA THROWS SUPPORT TO OWENS
Scozzafava released the following statement at 2 :06 p.m.:
I want to thank you for your support and friendship. Over the past 24 hours, I have had encouraging words sent to my family and me. Many of you have asked me whom you should support on Tuesday.
Since announcing the suspension of my campaign, I have thought long and hard about what is best for the people of this District, and how to answer your questions. This is not a decision that I have made lightly.
You know me, and throughout my career, I have been always been an independent voice for the people I represent. I have stood for our honest principles, and a truthful discussion of the issues, even when it cost me personally and politically. Since beginning my campaign, I have told you that this election is not about me; it’s about the people of this District.
It is in this spirit that I am writing to let you know I am supporting Bill Owens for Congress and urge you to do the same.
It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative, but I strongly believe Bill is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh’s lasting legacy in the U.S. Congress. John and I worked together on the expansion of Fort Drum and I know how important that base is to the economy of this region. I am confident that Bill will be able to provide the leadership and continuity of support to Drum Country just as John did during his tenure in Congress.
In Bill Owens, I see a sense of duty and integrity that will guide him beyond political partisanship. He will be an independent voice devoted to doing what is right for New York. Bill understands this district and its people, and when he represents us in Congress he will put our interests first.
Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday. To address the tough challenges ahead, we must rise above partisanship and politics and work together. There’s too much at stake in this election to do otherwise.
It’s this divisive kick-conservatives-out-bipartisan-one-party approach that drove us here, Dede, but it’s nice to see you just come out of the closet as a a dutiful democrat bootlicker.
All the more reason to encourage people who live in New York to drive to NY23 and volunteer; physically to get the vote out for Hoffman; you know ACORN and Dede’s husband’s labor friends will be bleating about Owens until the cows come home and pulling out their many bags of dirty tricks to get him in for the benefit of the Messiah there in New York.
They’re trying like hell to cannibalize the nation for their one-party state.
One lies and the other swears to it. I can’t use the words here that would fit because they are unprintable.
Scuzzy FavaBean, is undeniable proof of the despicable, desperate lengths the Libtards will use to further their criminal careers. Does any one have a crop duster so we can bomb DC with D-Con rat poison?
Better watch out, they might appear at your door for threatening the president.
