Jack Abramoff, present jailbird, was convicted of all sorts of crooked schemes. One of his favorites was to funnel money through various organizations into the hands of other people.
It appears Dede Scozzafava is funneling RNC, NRCC, and donor dollars through her campaign account to her family.
Dede Scozzafava is or was until recently the Chief Operating Officer of her brother’s company.
Her company’s key subsidiaries have accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal tax liens. As of July 13, 2009 – or less than a week ago – three of Dede’s businesses have $192,000 in outstanding liens.
Dede’s brother is Thomas W. Scozzafava and he is married to Pearl Han Ashcraft.
Dede Scozzafava’s campaign has paid $3750.00 in disclosed expenses to Pearl Han Productions, LLC for “Strategic Consulting,” the most bland of descriptions.
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Given the campaign’s propensity to file false police reports against reporters, I have no doubt this was intentionally designed to obfuscate what is going on.
On Scozzafava’s disclosures, Pearl Han Productions, LLC is located at 2001 S.E. Sailfish Pt. Blvd. #112, Stuard, NY 34996. There is just one problem. No such place exists.
What does exist, however, is 2001 S.E. Sailfish Pt. Blvd. #112, Stuart, FL 34996, a beautiful ocean front condo.
At that address, you’ll find Pearl Han Productions, LLC, incorporated in the State of Florida. (PDF). The person in charge is Pearl Ashcraft, Dede’s sister-in-law.
And if you think all that is too much of a coincidence, or maybe you think the campaign disclosure had just an innocent typo as to the address, consider this fact: Pearl Han Productions, LLC was not incorporated in the State of Florida until after the New York Republican Party made Dede Scozzafava its nominee.
Scozzafava was chosen on August 19, 2009, and eight days later on August 27, 2009, Pearl Han Productions, LLC was filed with the Secretary of State and reviewed a day later by that office.
Scozzafava doesn’t look to be just an ACORN candidate, but also more and more looks like an Abramoff Republican.

Can this be the kiss of death for her campaign?
penguin2 Friday, October 23rd at 2:03PM EDT (link)If we’re talking about illegal sleight of hand, even if it won’t all come out until after the election, the RNC and RNCC should be very concerned. She is damaged goods and can only add to a damaged image for the GOP.

Will Newt switch to Hoffman NOW?

The Republicans should demand the donations back,

New York is easy...
naraht Friday, October 23rd at 3:53PM EDT (link)In New York the Conservative Party provides an easy way to get a conservative on the ballot under the Conservative Party Line, but most states are a lot tougher when it comes to qualification of a new party to be on the ballot. Be prepared to get lots and lots of signatures in order to get a new party on the ballot.
Revolution, anyone?
Castor Friday, October 23rd at 4:41PM EDT (link)It´s like this:
There may be no easy answer but there is a simple answer.We Conservatives should elect enough delegates to the 2012 convention to change the name of the Republican Party to the Conservative Party. Then the RINOS, DIRCS and other assorted creatures of the political otherworld would get out and good conservatives outside of the GOP would get in.
Let the Conservative Revolution begin !!!!
No Third Party
Whitehorse Friday, October 23rd at 7:53PM EDT (link)Rebuild the Republican party & take it over from the grassroots up. On a nationwide basis, a third party splitting conservatives from Republicans would only serve to elect whatever pitiful Democrat is running & this dynamic would last for likely several election cycles.
This incident with Hoffman should serve as a further wake up call to the “establishment” that candidates need to be chosen in a more ethical manner & simply having an “R” by the name will not work. They may also want to vett the candidates a bit better before they start dumping OUR money to them.
I'm not advocating a third party
AHALgal Friday, October 23rd at 11:58PM EDT (link)whatsoever.
That’s nasty business.
I am stating that the RNC is driving people to the Libertarian party which is now chock full of Tea Partiers. It’s not pretty, but it’s happening.

Rebuilding the GOP is my best bet, too
GOPMOM Monday, October 26th at 7:30AM EDT (link)We’re doing it one town at a time here in MA. Yes, that’s Massachusetts. The state GOP does not seem happy about it but hey, they’re hoping to run Charlie Baker, a “pro-Choice, pro-Gay Marriage”, only been a Republican for nine months for governor.
The “Tea Party” party can take over the GOP in one year - we have 2010 to show conservatives get elected and the RINOS will come running back. Then we lock the door.
The Tea Party already took over the Clark County, Nevada (that's Las Vegas) GOP

Here’s information I’ve been pulling together about The Neighborhood Precinct Committeeman Strategy, for lack of a better name:
http://www.theprecinctproject.wordpress.com
“We the [conservative] people” haven’t been exercising our right to assemble at local GOP meetings in sufficient numbers lately, and our Party is a mess in the hands of the moderates as a result. Become a precinct committeeman and change it from within. More conservatives in the PC ranks means more conservative party leadership at the legislatative district, county, state and national levels. It’s a numbers game, pure and simple. Want more conservative leadership in the Party? Then join it as a PC and outnumber the moderates.
Thank you.

sallyv207 Monday, October 26th at 12:36PM EDT (link)I can’t believe Newt Gingrich would support a candidate just because she has an “R” following her name. This is just another example of the GOP not listening to their membrs. I hope Newt is proud of stabbing us in the back. I won’t support another RINO - my state already has two!!
Hammer Time
Whitehorse Friday, October 23rd at 7:56PM EDT (link)This information needs to be hammered into Steele, the RNC, Sessions, the NRCCC, & your local to state party officials.Demand she step away & go away, &/or pull all support from her & officially endorse the conservative candidate.
How can this BEEEEE?

He’s a REAL republican, right? RIGHT?
(Shame on Sarah Palin for contradicting a REAL republican and endorsing the only conservative in the race.)
Let's not commit political suicide;
graykp Monday, October 26th at 7:33AM EDT (link)Let the RINO’s do it.
2004 was the last time I supported the RNC. What I began to do was my own research on RINO’s close to home, the North East. When I found a RINO facing a Conservative or even better a Libertarian in a primary I would contribute to that candidate directly.
I’m no wealthy contributor but I believe in the Founding Fathers and their creations i.e. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America and the accompanying documents.
If we all do what we CAN do and be true to our values we can effect the real hope and change, you all know, that little thing called LIBERTY.

ucm4u Monday, October 26th at 8:16AM EDT (link)So…have we gotten the message yet? Conservative America is no longer being represented in our Government. Articles like this should shake every Republican to the bone. I use to think of myself as a Republican until Pres Bush turned his back on the party. Now I am just a Conservative. I should be surprised by Newt…but I’m not. This women is just more of the same corruption in government at all levels. God help us.
Change Name to Conservative Party
john_barry Monday, October 26th at 4:06PM EDT (link)Any effort to make the Republican Party Democrat lite is doomed to failure. There is only room for one Socialist/Liberal Party. You cannot out liberal the liberals. There is a majority conservative constituency which seeks conservative policies. The Republican Party is conservative or it is nothing. I am amazed that Newt Gingrich should support Dede Scozzafava who has voted for 190 tax increases and is a pro abortion extremist.
The Republican Party must articulate and implement conservative policies. Otherwise it will splinter. A name change to the Conservative Party would make sense if buttressed by solid conservative policies. This will precipitate the departure of liberals. This will be counterbalanced by an inflow of conservatives. There are a sizeable number of conservative Democrats who would vote for such a Party but who might be reluctant to switch votes to a party called the Republican Party. The Republican Party has a choice: Be conservative or be redundant.
Finally a new third party would ensure permanent Democrat dominance.

Conservatives alone would never win a majority nationwide
Neil Stevens Monday, October 26th at 4:22PM EDT (link)I think you’re vastly overestimating the number of conservative Democrats. The Reagan Democrats of 30 years ago are either dead or already Republicans now.
Want to run for conservatives? Give.
