GOP, Conservative Effort To Unite Against Gillibrand Fails
A flurry of phone calls was placed over the weekend in hopes of pushing former Rep. Joe DioGuardi off the Conservative line to make way for the winner of the primary between the two Republicans placed on the ballot at the convention last week in the race against Democratic US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

State Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long confirmed DioGuardi, who landed Row D by receiving close to 70 percent of the weighted vote at his party’s convention two weeks ago, has decided to forge ahead with his plan to petition his way into the GOP primary and has also committed to run on the Conservative line in November regardless of whether he makes it onto Row B.

Long said he spoke to DioGuardi over the weekend and also fielded calls from unnamed GOP leaders hopeful about forging some kind deal that would enable the Conservatives and Republicans to mend their rift.

1. It's is so pathetic when they call themselves 'conservatives'
Edited on Tue Jun-08-10 07:55 AM by SpiralHawk
I mean, what a crock of BS. There is nothing whatsoever conservative about Republicons, TeaBaggers or Birthers. They are borrow-and-spend squander freaks who tossed America's credit, economy, and honor in the crapper for years to come. Their radical 'no regulation' of Wall Street and banks has led to disaster. Their 'conservative' Family Values regularly include wide-stance, pretzel-encrusted, pubic hair coke can, diaper sex with faux lesbian bondage luggage handling rentboy interns in public urinals, and assorted other 'conservative' hijinks. And their 'drill baby drill' philosophy has completely trashed the environment in a thousand ways in the pursuit of short-term profit for a few.

There is absolutely nothing 'conservative' about self-claimed 'conservatives' -- and if we had an honest media they would be called on their BS propaganda over and over and over.
