Hoffman was for Scozzafava before he was against her
Watertown Daily Times ^ | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2009 | JUDE SEYMOUR

Posted on 10/29/2009 5:59:36 AM PDT by Mojave

Doug Hoffman pledged to help Dede Scozzafava in an e-mail sent two days after the Republican Party passed over the Lake Placid accountant for the nomination.

The e-mail, sent from Mr. Hoffman's business account on July 24 and provided by the Scozzafava campaign, states in full: "Hi Dede, Congratulations and the best of luck in your candidacy. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Doug."

This is contrary to what Mr. Hoffman, who is now running against Ms. Scozzafava as a Conservative candidate, told me less than two weeks later.

This is such a non-issue.

If this if the best they can come up with to try to beat Mr. Hoffman with... Hoffman should win by a landslide.

LOL - methinks Mojave may have spent a little too much time in the desert - brain burnout.

Dede is a liar by default

Therefore, Hoffman is entitled to break his word. Interesting.

Just a courtesy email, they all send them. You can tell it was just a polite response by its brevity. If he REALLY wanted to help her he’d be more specific.

I vote prolife. I don’t vote for the George Soros candidates.

I wouldn't go that far. Geo. Washington lost just about all his battles until the end when he won decisively.

That's true but HE FOUGHT THEM!

In war you often don't get to choose the Battleground. Circumstances dictate the battleground. In this case this will be the first battleground in the Tea Party Movement.

The Tea Party people didn't choose this battleground, it was chosen for them. But we must recognize that we are at war and the enemy is shooting at us from the NY23rd.

I don't think we can afford to lose this one. We have the momentum, and a loss here will let the air out of the balloon.

The war will be won or lost in 2010, but the road to victory begins next Tuesday in the NY23rd.

Mo-JIVE is already a proven LIAR on this forum. Why bother with Mo-JIVE?

For anyone interested in the selection process used by the GOP in NY23 for this special election the following summary gives some insight. As to accuracy I can't vouch for but it describes the process used. It is written by Michael Patrick Leahy, TCOT Report.

You can wonder all you want. I certainly wonder about your smear job against Hoffman and what that is all about.

It hasn't gotten much exposure. Guess it doesn't fit the David and Goliath mythology.

>> Hoffman intends to lie his way to power.

Do you mean “is lying” instead of “intends to lie”?

Nonetheless, you should cut the guy some slack. He’s obviously new to politics and the stumbling is inevitable.

Are you a proponent of the Liberal candidates?

I think we're basically on the same page here. I want very, very, very much to win the NY23rd.

But I'm not going to fold up and go home if we don't. You probably won't either. :0)

By typing the word Gotchya, I take that to mean that you understand and agree with what I wrote. Therefore, ANYTHING ELSE COUNTERING YOUR WRITTEN AGREEMENT IS A LIE!!!!!

YOU ARE A LYING LIAR, Mo'JIVE!!!!!

Why do you insist on either being a useful idiot for the liberals in this country, or a DU troll on a conservative website?

Just a courtesy email, they all send them.

“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.”

Agreed. “We all love and adore Reagan. But we also know he wasn’t perfect”.

Whether you're a fool or not a fool
You're always someone’s fool
But we're always reassured
‘Cause we always find someone more foolish than ourselves

Why am I not surprised to find you supporting a liberal RINO with a farce to back you up? Par.

It is a non-issue and it’s not a lie, unless you’re screen name happens to be Mojave. It’s such a non-issue, its beyond being a political distraction to advancing Conservatism.
