NY-23: Conservatives at war over Republican nominee

The special election for NY-23 is getting interesting. I touched on this race a couple weeks ago, noting the very unprincipled position of the National Republican Congressional Committee and Republican National Committee for endorsing and spending money on Dede Scozzafava, who is easily the most statist candidate running in the race. She has been labeled as an ACORN-backing, tax-hiking, big spending liberal…and there is truth to much of that criticism. Even the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is coming to the aide of Bill Owens, is attacking her as a tax hiker and the Daily Kos is pulling for her to win.
NY-23: NRCC shows they aren’t committed to taxpayers

How do you know Republicans aren’t serious about pushing a less government, pro-taxpayer and pro-free market agenda? Because the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) has endorsed Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 special election, which will be decided on November 3rd.
While she holds some views that libertarians find attractive on social issues, she is dangerous on economic issues. This is not meant to cast those views aside, however, the economic and policies that will advocate free markets are much more pressing due to the economy.
