The problem is that Dede is not really a fiscal conservative unless you believe that government can tax its way to a balanced budget. She is a political insider who will do whatever the Democrats want her to do. Anyone who will give militant homosexuals whatever they want will always vote for higher taxes and more spending.

Scozzafava supporters blame her cash crunch on the Washington Republican establishment, which they contend has not embraced her campaign enthusiastically. They specifically point to Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, whose committee has been virtually absent from the race and hasn’t yet donated any money, with just weeks to go before the Nov. 3 special election.

“Chairman Steele hasn’t put up a cent, not even the obligatory $5,000,” said a New York-based GOP operative. “There’s been no support from the RNC. Democrats are going all out for this race. Everyone’s in the same direction.”

The only problem is, that a huge number of Americans are social-conservatives. The DNC already abondoned them. If the GOP abandons them as well, it will most-assuredly lead to a viable third party push. These people are already teetering on the edge, and this may just tip them over.
