Some Principles, Please

NY-23 congressional race exposes the "GOP must be a Big Tent" myth. Mark Tapscott, Examiner:

"When feckless GOPers embrace RINOs such as Scozzafava, the only winners are liberal Democrats like Pelosi who can then claim 'bipartisan' support for higher taxes, more regulation, bigger government and less individual freedom."

And Scozzafava is a supporter of the discredited ACORN. Michael Barone:

“The Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, is a pretty dodgy character from a Republican point of view,” said Barone. “I mean, this is a woman who was endorsed by the Working Families Party, which is basically front for ACORN … As we’ve seen, it’s an organization whose organizations have systematically aided and abetted child prostitution, as reported in the videos that Fox News ran — that other networks were finally forced to run, that Andrew Breitbart put on the Big Government Website. There is some reason for principled Republicans not to back the Republican nominee in a situation like that.”
A big tent shouldn't embrace corrupt and unprincipled individuals.
