Dede: 'Rise Above Partisanship And Politics,' Vote Owens

Here's the robocall Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava recorded for her erstwhile Democratic opponent, Bill Owens, whom she lauds as "an independent voice" dedicated to "doing what is right" for New York.

"Hi, this is Dede Scozzafava calling on behalf of Bill Owens. And I wanted to let you know that I am supporting Bill for Congress."

“Since beginning my campaign I have said that this election is not about me, it’s about the people of this district. It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative but I strongly believe Bill Owens is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh’s lasting legacy in Congress.

“In Bill Owens I see a sense of duty and integrity. He will be an independent voice, devoted to doing what is right for New York. To address the tough challenges ahead we must rise above partisanship and politics, and work together.

“Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday.”

Boy, you insult and abandon your Party's candidate, and she turns and stabs you in the back. Oh, the ingratitude...

1. I'm starting to think she's a latent democrat. She's more of the spirit I miss.

2. She is showing more courage than a lot of the Blue Dog Dems and

virtually all the other repukes who call themselves "moderate".

4. Black mark against Ownes in my book, I hate all robocalls

During elections I turn my phones off during diner

6. How would you get this message out with 48 hours to go?

[Craftsman]

7. I do not like telephone solicitations of any kind period.

As soon as I get on if it is robo I hang up, if it is a person I ask them to hold then put the phone down and walk away until they hang up. Waste their time not mine.

8. and then you hurt the people working at the phone-bank for minimum wage

just politely say no thanks so you don't waste anyone's time.

[Craftsman]

10. I am on the do not call list and believe I have the right ot be left alone in my home

On the plus side they hang up quickly.

[Kber]

11. Today Hoffman accused her of "Treachery against the GOP"

How he can say that with a straight face is simply beyond me.

Reminds me of the Family Circus cartoon where the little brother runs to mom to complain that "Dolly hit me back!", but funnier.
