One Democrat running for reelection for a conservative seat is bragging about his loyalty — to John Boehner.Owens is the guy who won the seat that conservatives fought over a few months ago. That seat should have gone to a Republican last time but the party self-destructed.
"Bill Owens didn't vote with Nancy Pelosi 93 percent of the time," the narrator says, responding to an attack ad from his Republican rival in a conservative Upstate New York district. "He voted with the Republican leader 63 percent of the time."
Owens, elected in a special election after a Republican civil war earlier this year, now faces a unified challenge from the right.
UPDATE: National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Ken Spain points to a Washington Post chart that shows Owens voting with his party 93 percent of the time and accuses Owens of "lying about his record."

The party self-destructed by running a RINO, DeDe Scozzafava, and then having Newt Gingrich endorse her by saying something to the effect of "always vote for the one with the "R" next to their name. There was an actual Conservative in this race, Doug Hoffman, but Scozzafava was so much of a RINO that she endorsed the Democrat when she dropped out of the race. Self destruction, indeed.
