TNA recently received a memo over the transom and has ascertained its authenticity. The memo, which was sent to the National Republican Congressional Committee in an email last week, attacks New York Democratic State Sen. Darrel Aubertine, who is contemplating a bid for the Congressional seat soon to be vacated by Rep. John McHugh, a Republican who was appointed by President Obama to serve as Secretary of the Army.
The GOP perceives Aubertine to be vulnerable on taxes and gun rights, according to the memo, which was written by a well known Washington-based political consultant with longtime ties and a hefty contract with the NRCC.
The New York Daily News reported earlier today that the NRCC has started running robocalls against Aubertine, who remains undecided about entering the race but is considered the favorite to win the Democratic nod.
It appears the GOP is up to their old tricks and plan once again to utilize the politics of personal destuction. I’ve posted the full memo after the jump.

Wow big deal, all politicians do this, its called pointing out your opponents weaknesses. This is actually a news story?
Of course the GOP candidate is sparkling also, someone should find out how much money (taxpayers) dollars was funneled into Wise Buys(her brothers)all in the name of economic development.
I hope that voters realize that there only TWO republicans in the entire state congressional delegation, and one will be leaving the house to work for Obama in the next few weeks. Next time you vote, do upstate a favor and keep one voice for republicans. soon there will be no un-biased congressional voices to be heard in NY.
As a Democrat who has worked several times to get Darrel elected, I’m elated that Dede Scozzafava is his opponent. Democrats can’t lose. Dede is MORE liberal than Darrel, and we like her better than him. Yeah!
Goddamn Republicans!!!
They are Morally Bankrupt, and care more about their Party than they do about their Country….
What a bunch of LOSERS…
If you support Republicans, you are a hate-filled Racists…
They have no problem spending $1 Trillion Dollars on an illegimate War in Iraq, or $1 Trillion Dollars for Wall Street…
But they draw the line at $1 Trillion Dollars for Health Care for Americans… they will burn in Hell…
That the GOP thinks Aubertine is weak in this district shows how ridiculously incompetent that organization is.
Is anyone even pretending that this is a real memo?
living in NNY for 14 yrs now i have to say that aubertine is a dumb hick and the people of watertown are so damned ignorant that that love dede because there is an “r” after her name and one more thing….ALL dems are hateful pigs
Oh! Kathleen…
Your little hate-missive is what we have come to expect from the ‘Can’t Do’ Republican party… All hatred, all negativity, and of course no facts or solutions… So typical….
You GOP-types had 8 years to run the country, and we got a Recession, A Depression, 2 Wars, Huge amounts of money going from the Middle Class to the the Wealthy, Massive Deficits…….. and Lie, after Lie, after Lie….
Now, Obama and the Democrats will once again have to clean up the mess left behind by hateful people like you… just like Bill Clinton did after the horrible Reagan/Bush years…
