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.

Answer the question!
How is electing Scozzafava advancing the cause of conservatism?
Facts. How dare ya!
"The irony of this stunt is Doug Hoffman’s entire campaign is built on his own broken pledge. He promised and then went back on his word to support the selection of Dede as our party’s candidate. Shortly after breaking his pledge, Hoffman said he is both for and against ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’ The bottom line is you can’t put much trust in any of Doug Hoffman’s pledges or positions; they’re likely to change from one moment to the next."

“people have become cowards about their party membership and some even pretend to be “Independents”.”
I am an independent. I have voted other than GOP on more than one occasion and likely will again depending on the race. I vote conservative. Where that is represented by the GOP, so be it but only a foolish person pretends that “Republican” and Conservative” are synonymous.
“As Election Day draws closer, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Doug Hoffman could very well spoil a perfectly safe Republican seat held by our party since the mid-1800s,”
Actually Scuzzlebutt is in third in every poll I’ve seen since about Teusday. She is drawing votes away from the most conservative person in the race, she should drop out for the good of the movement.
“He did say it” that is not a written pldege.
Ah, he signed a verbal pledge?
You obviously know nothing about his looong march from back-bencher to Speaker and it was hardly to benefit himself. The so-called "conservatives" who trash him in this forum aren't worthy to carry his briefcase and would last 3 seconds under the barrage of hate and slander directed at him by the Left.
I have answered your questions, I have been patient. But I ask for the sixth time now:
How is electing Scozzafava advancing the cause of conservatism?
If you do not answer this question, you are proved to be nothing but a disruptor and troll. Your entire premise of this post is that Hoffman is a liar and that electing a liar cannot advance the cause of conservatism.
If that is the case, then give us the clear answer as to how electing Scozzafava will advance the cause of conservatism.
If you do not have an answer for that, then you are clearly not interested in the advancement of conservatism and are therefore creating a tangental argument to support a non-conservative over a conservative.
Gee, what a profile in courage. Thanks for admitting you’re part of the problem. I suggest a short course on government at your local community college.
The party is being untrue to the conservatives. If they would be true than this break would not happen. The party is not wathing out for the people.
My apologies. I was not aware that I was dealing with a broken glass GOP firster.
We do not need to continue conversing, have a nice day.
It would no more serve the cause of conservatism than electing the shameless liar or the Democrat.
Do you even read what you write or just put words together and hope for the best?
He was changing his mind in mid-post.
We'll see.
Or he could choose your method of rolling your face across the keyboard...
I’ve let you know that we do not need to continue this. You chose to attack me for not being a broken glass GOP firster, as far as I am concered we are done.
Have a nice day.
Can you produce the written pledge that you have used in other posts to try to say he is a liar. If not you are being untrue to the truth and should not accuse others of you failings.
