Hoffman was for Scozzafava before he was against her

Hoffman intends to lie his way to power.

[bfree]

I’m sending him money. She’s nothing more than a flaming liberal democrat.

[AnAmericanMother]

That's a DNC dirty trick.

That is nothing more than a courteous letter by a gracious opponent. To call that a "pledge" is nonsense. You might as well claim that by signing a letter "very truly yours" you have pledged yourself to marry the recipient.

You fell for it hook, line and sinker.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Doesn’t change the fact that Scozzofava is an Obama-loving Democrat parading around as a Republican.

LOL

Dingdingdingdingding! We have a winner.

What a pant load. This is just the typical congratulation note. This release is very desperate and juvenile.

[cripplecreek]

No kidding, I’m sick of these lying liberals who call themselves republicans. The GOP is throwing every ACORN/Moveon tactic in the book at this one and they’ve become disgusting.

Thanks for your comment. I am sending Hoffman $20.

So let’s get this straight. I’ve seen you bashing Hoffman on a few threads now. Do you or do you not support the DIABLO Dede Scozzafava for the seat? If you do, please tell us conservatives how she is a better candidate than Hoffman.

[BuckeyeTexan]

How did Hoffman lie?

[Mojave]

I’m sending him money.

Don't give him your credit card info.

“Despite having signed a pledge to support the eventual nominee to emerge from the process, Hoffman considered the possibility of asking for the Conservative Party’s endorsement to run against Scozzafavva, making it a three way race.”

Who cares? She sucks.

[GeronL]

She was the only one of 7 people considered who could not get the Conservative Party endorsement.

Hoffman was just being polite, something unknown among the left.

[SumProVita]

Call for REAL.... Conservative Reform. Send $$$ to Hoffman!

So Hoffman changes his mind about Scuzzy, yet you take a greater issue with that than Scuzzy's rampant liberalism and her sneakily paying an in-law with campaign funds?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Besides, later in the article Hoffman states he never promised to support Scozzafava, but he did say who he would support:

"I did indicate that I would be happy to support a conservative Republican candidate, especially if it wasn't me. ... It never occurred to me that the party would pick the only liberal in the race."

Hoffman, from where I stand, is off the hook. These hit piece no doubt comes from a Democrat playbook. It has all the usual characteristics of an off-the-record conversation or e-mail that supposedly took place. The Democrat has no need to attack the Republican candidate, they're agreeable on everything. This race is two Democrats against a Reagan Conservative.

[Lakeshark]

Well, Newt promised us she will vote for Boehner.......

*rolls eyes*

[GeronL]

Anyone who backs Scuzzy is basically a Party Hack or Shill, or a moron.

[rintense]

Yeah, because no one in the history of politics has ever changed their mind about a candidate, or a position. How many times has your guy Newt lied?
