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.

She is running as the republican.
Her positions are in the sh!t, but she IS a republican.
The whole acorn endorsement is crap. Acorn did endorse her twice, but both times she was running unopposed. Everytime dede ran where there was an opponent on the ballot, acorn DID NOT ENDORSE HER.
:0)
Hmmm. Provocative. Tell me more.
Acorn did endorse her twice...
Owwww! My neck hurts!
And she’s to the left of Grahamnesty on cap and trade!

My guess is that they either don't exist or don't say what the left wants them to.
"Let me know if I can help" is something I say to people I don't even like, it is polite conversation.
Great, the layman’s definitions of pledge.
Show the pledge(s). Where are they? What did they say? What language was used?
Since 1996 on this site, 99.5% of my replies to other FReepers have been polite, even if we have had some disagreement. But I’ve had enough of your obfuscation. Please leave the last three words off your tagline, and I think we will have an area of agreement.
LOL
THE problem, Mo'JIVE, is WE DON'T LIKE LIARS AROUND HERE!!!
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!!!!!
Mo'JIVE, You are a LIAR! You wrote a WRITTEN PLEDGE THAT YOU AGREE WITH ME! You LIED, Mo'JIVE, YOU LIED!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE A LYING LIAR, Mo'JIVE!!!!!
“put some ice on it”
Yes; this bears repeating:
For a pledge to be legally binding a signature or an oath is required.
The words of a liar.
Your post in 90 is accurate but leaves a lot of twisting tortured logic.
Bottomline, any candidate, including Nader, Lieberman, Hoffman, Buchanan and the rest, who run as a major party candidate, and then go third party, quickly become very unpopular within that party and deservedly so.
You establish yourself as A NON TEAM PLAYER AND SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT WANT TO PLAY BY THE RULES.
Bill Clinton?!

For a pledge to be a lie, one has only to break it. You got to the end of that leash pretty quickly.
