Glenn Beck vetted Doug Hoffman, the CONSERVATIVE Republican candidate who is running for a Congressional seat in New York State, on his radio talk show this morning. He stated that Newt Gingrich has teamed up with ACORN to support Dede Scozzafava, who is also supported by the Daily Koz and the Working Family Party. Her conservative voting record had a high score of 15 out of 100. Hoffman said that 46 Democrats had a more conservative score than she, who is pro union and pro card check, among other things. A New York State Assemblywoman for eleven years, she is a career politician. Hoffman said the Democratic Candidate, supported by SEIU, is no better. Bill Owens is heavily supported by the DNC and would most definitely be a Pelosi puppet. In the beginning, Hoffman said he caught some flack from the Republican Party for throwing his hat into the ring, but now, he says, he is getting praise for standing up for what’s right. Scozzafava’s ratings are dropping like a rock, but his ratings are rising. Hoffman appears to embody what The People are looking for – a conservation individual, with no previous political experience, who had no desire to run for office until the candidate choices in his area left him no option. He said he was a common sense, Reagan Conservative who believes in less red tape, less government, less tax and will work to recover the freedoms that ‘We, The People’ have slowly lost due to Big Government legislation.
When asked about Healthcare, he said he would vote against every piece of Healthcare legislation currently in Congress and go after tort reform and [insurance] competition between the states. Regarding Congress’ purported 120 billion in Medicare and Medicaid fraud, Hoffman spoke like a true CPA, “Lets find it before we spend it – not spend it before we find it”. With respect to Cap and Trade, he is totally opposed as it represents more regulation, more red tape and more tax. Asked about amnesty, he said that he does not support it, but does feel the need for easier regulations for skilled professionals to come into the country legitimately to work so we know who is here and when they leave. When asked how do we get the illegals out, Hoffman faltered. He said that he had not really come up with a plan, but he felt there is no instant solution. He went on to say that we “have to find a way to keep people from sneaking across our borders”. At this moment, Beck offered a possible solution for his consideration. “Provide an incentive by going after those employers who hire illegals”, Beck said. “If the jobs dry up - they go home. ENFORCE THE LAW!” It is refreshing to listen to a ‘regular joe’ who is not ready with all the glib answers.
Doug Hoffman who, at the age of 27, was the CFO for the Lake Placid Olympics and made 150 million dollars for the area [Lake Placid Olympics was where the historic game took place whereby the U.S. Hockey Team won against Russia for the Gold], stated that he has a wife of thirty-six years with three grown children and four grandchildren. He proudly pointed out that he is also a member of the 912 Project. Beck asked him if there was anything of which he was personally afraid. Hoffman, not sure how to respond, prompted Beck to explain that in the next thirteen days, his opponents are going to go after him with everything they got. Will he be able to stand up to it? The Army Vet said that he was able to take on the Olympic challenge, he can handle it this one.
With respect to campaign donations, Hoffman told Beck, “Well, that is the deal.” He is getting money from all around the country but could use more help. For those who can, please go to www.doughoffmanforcongress.com and donate. Hoffman will be appearing on the Glenn Beck television show for further vetting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inJkRB5tZRw&feature=player_embedded Hoffman Trailer
Doug Hoffman is the Conservative alternative in this race (or Hoffman by PayPal).
Markos Moulitsas, founder of The Daily Kos has endorsed Scozzafava. Dede Scozzafava has also been endorsed by NYSUT, the largest labor union in New York, and an affiliate of the National Education Association.
Scozzafava also holds these positions:
Scozzafava has also run in past elections on the Working Families Party (a progressive party associated with ACORN) line on the ballot.
This lady isn’t a RINO, she is a big “R” libeRal democRat. Mark Steyn has coined the term DIABLO for her and others like her. Democrat In All But Label Only.
There are also at least 17 unprincipled DIABLO enablers in the house who have donated funds or otherwise supported to this LibeRal democRat's DIABLO’s campaign. They include Boehner, Cantor, Sessions, Hensarling, Brown-Waite and McCotter. I don’t have a full list, but I will be looking for it. These unprincipled enablers should be targeted for elimination in the primaries next year. Also, perhaps those of us who donated to the RNC or RCCC should ask for our money back so we can support the conservative candidates of our choice.

I support Doug Hoffman for Congress (PayPal). Please, spread the word about this important election on November 3, 2009 in New York’s 23rd congressional district. |
ACORN Ping!

OUR NEXT MARCH NEEDS TO BE ON GOP HEADQUARTERS
FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO START A MOVEMENT ON THAT- I WILL MAKE A WEBSITE IF ANYONE IS LISTENING
Doug Hoffman deserves whatever contribution each freedom-loving American can afford to make to his campaign.
Regardless of his flaws, up to this point, I had a goodly amount of respect for the intellect of Newt Gingrich. This act has caused me to lose much of that high appraisal. I can’t imagine what he was thinking..He must be suffering a bad case of Clinton Triangulation Dementia.
We beat Finland for the Gold. The Miracle on Ice game against the Soviet Union was the first game the US played in the medal round.
Newt is mud! His career is over! If this is factual and he honestly knew that ACORN was supporting this Republican candidate and continued supporting her, then he can forget about any ambitions of ever being a driving political force in the future!
I’ve got the perfect sign:
‘If you won’t represent our views.
Don’t claim to speak for us!’
I wonder when Sean, who has this RINO retard on his shows almost every day will ask him about his support of this clown. Don't hold your breath.
Sean claims to be a Conservative NY Voter now.
I wonder if he will back Hoffman?
Newt must be on the take.
“Republican What” is a pretty good summation of Scozzafava.
Yes. He opened his show yesterday talking about how the RNC doesn’t get it, how they chose the wrong candidate.
I have lost all respect for this RINO, duh Newt.
All, the NRA endorsed the leading candidate at the time.
FWIW
Dede Scozzafava scored the NRA’s endorsement. Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman had recently gone on the air with an ad touting his NRA membership
Contact the NRA for clarification.
A supporter for Newt just call me from a toll free number. When she told me who she was calling for I flew off the hammer and yelled to her that I was so mad at Newt that I didn’t want to even try and discuss is and hung up on her. If I could of held my composure enough to at least tell her that I was mad about him supporting this ACORN supported Communist female peice of pathetic CRAP then I would have gotten my message through. My blood pressure is about to go through the roof! Anyway I’m sure he will have gotten the message before the day is over. This is his career that he can KISS GOODBYE!
