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.

How’s that Schwartzenegger working out for ya?

FR used to have a lot of posters who would insist that Arnold was really a conservative simply because he claimed that he was. They seem to have disappeared.

Where did he say “I promise?”

"Doug Hoffman looked me in the eyes, raised his right hand and pledged to support the Republican nominee in this district. He then turned around and declared his candidacy for this seat, rendering his oath utterly meaningless. Doug Hoffman lacks the basic integrity we need in our Congressional Representative." -- Jefferson County Republican Party Chairman Don Coon

Ronald Reagan tried to get a LAW HE SIGNED into effect repealed.

Because the Democrats lied about how they would apply it. Their spirit lives on Doug Hoffman.

Do you have anything constructive to say?

About breaking pledges? Nothing comes to mind.

That's how Hoffman used his pledge.

What did the pledge say?

Nope. That is not the pledge. That is about the pledge.

Produce the pledge.

So far you have been unable to refute any of the several witnesses quoted and cited.

Unable to?

I've made no such attempt.

I'm waiting to read the pledge. Show us the pledge.

No, it lives on in the Party Hacks in the 23rd district that nominated a turd of a candidate called DeDe who does not represent, by her stands on the various issues, the Republicans in that district.

Then nominated a far-left extremist as the nominee.

Chicanery at its best!

Because your unable to. Even once.

You might as well claim that by signing a letter "very truly yours" you have pledged yourself to marry the recipient.

You're right, I once sent a manager I worked for, and whom I loathed, a Christmas card. Even Santa forgave me for that little lie......

This is your claim. It remains false.

He signed a pledge? Where is it? What does it say?

...Doug Hoffman took an oath to Republican voters...

Where is the language of the oath?

DeDe who does not represent, by her stands on the various issues, the Republicans in that district.

And Hoffman, with NO track record, can only offer his word. Which is worthless.

Are you being paid to shill for DeDe, or are you just a zealous volunteer?
