New Scozzafava ad in the 23rd

Here’s the latest ad from GOP congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava. The ad, entitled “Issues,” goes after rival Bill Owens, questioning the Democrat’s job-creation claim.


“Jobs. Taxes. Spending. Big issues. Big differences. Bill Owens’ ads claim his created thousands of jobs. But it’s not true. The newspaper caught him red-handed and Owens won’t answer questions. The truth, he’s a $750,000 lawyer, who supports higher taxes on income, seniors, even the death tax. Dede Scozzafava disagrees. She’ll fight tax increases and say no to the big spenders.”

  1. Andrew says:

    Doesn’t this Chick support the Spendulus bill?

  2. David says:

    Amazing…Rush Limbaugh ranting she is a liberal, etc.

  3. Ralph Mouth says:

    Dede’s Done should be her new slogan.

    Does her campaign even have money to air these spots when people are actually watching TV or are they going to run at 3 a.m. in between infomercials for the Flo-Bee and the Bow-Flex?

    Maybe this ad will run during “COPS”?

  4. GreeneGoblin says:

    Well at least the Republicans are recycling…

    “Bill Owens is a $750,000 a year lawyer” sounds eerily familiar to Scott Murphy’s mansion or big raises or hoighty toighty out-of-touchness

    refuting a candidates job claims? if i remember from the original version of this ad, Murphy create jobs… in India!

    A little advice GOP, it didn’t work then… it’s not gonna work now.

  5. art vandalay says:

    Dede should claim she created 2,000 new jobs. Just like Jimmy T did? This gambit only works for DEMS like Hillary who promised to create 750,000 Upstate jobs and created one for herself.

  6. Nanook says:

    While the headline might read like there are “questions” about Owens’ claim, the actual article has everyone the reporter called in the Plattsburgh area, including the chamber of commerce, confirming that his claim is reasonable and that he has in fact been a working part of a successful economic development team there. Where’s the being “caught red handed”? At least one of those quoted verifying his claim is leading the Tea Party movement and supporting Hoffman, but he still confirmed that this claim is valid and accurate. So, in other words, the GOP is trying to trick and lie to the voters with a totally misleading ad. No wonder their candidate’s negatives are going up.

  7. Amiblue says:

    Right on Nanook!

    Here is the link to the actual article in the Watertown Daily Times.
    Reporter talked to people involved in Plattsburgh who just happen to be mostly Republicans. They not onlt verified Owens’ claim but said it was probably a conservative estimate!

    Read it and weep you Scozzafava supporters – or just call the cops if that will make you feel better. LOL

    “Hey, just call her ‘dead in the water!’”

  8. Who is responsible for feeding this Girl?

    Will the per diem be Enough?

    Cruel, no, I’m under the ‘spell’ of the Birthers,9-12ers
    and Tea Baggers! Then it’s okay, right?

  9. Hate to ask, but... says:

    How could the Republicans have chosen a candidate who supports Card Check?

  10. meatlaof714 says:

    The “Leaders” of the Republican Part,Limbaugh/Hannity and Beck have all blasted the NYGOP for endorsing this liberal. How does a Republican at this level get endorsed by WFP/ACORN and the Daily Kos? Simple answer be further left than the Democrat. Dede’s voting record speaks for itself.
    In order to beat Owns the voters need to turn out for Hoffman.
    He’s on Becks’ TV show tonight. This should throw the much needed funds his way for the 2 week push to Election Day.

  11. OLD Jasper says:

    The Republican party is split between the conservative wing and the RINO wing who believe they can beat Democrats by being more liberal than the Democrat.

    Ask Jasper Nolan how that strategy works…
    He LOST using this strategy with his hand picked candidate Sandy Treadwell. The he lost again with his handpicked candidate Jim Tedisco without engaging the support of the grassroots supporters he needed to win the race and they stayed home.

    The Party needs to shed the old chairmen and enlist the support of the conservative active base to win.

  12. Mike Lieman says:

    I love watching the Republicans eat their own.

    How’s it feel to get treated the way us Real Conservatives were treated by David Frum and The Neocon Nitwits?

  13. Mike Lieman says:

    The Republican party is split between those who pander to the religious extremists and those who long gave up on Fiscal Responsibility and Small Governemt Conservatives.
