- The Republican candidate for NY-23 was startled by people actually asking tough questions and called the cops on a reporter. Questions like why she supports card check, ACORN, tax increases, and abortion (hint: follow the money). Fortunately, there is a good chance that she will go down in flames and the Conservative party candidate win because of how conservative a district it is. Unfortunately, the fools in charge of the NRCC are giving her money. This is part of why you shouldn’t donate to the Republican party institutions: they’ll just waste it.
