ACORN Ping!
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
Someone’s really grasping at straws here.
Do you fall for silly tricks like this often?
He thought it over and changed his mind. Deal with it.
Mr. Hoffman acknowledged his continued bid has rankled some Republicans. He said Wednesday, “I never promised that I would support Dede Scozzafava.”
“I did indicate that I would be happy to support a conservative Republican candidate, especially if it wasn't me,” he said. “It never occurred to me that the party would pick the only liberal in the race.”
Mr. Ellis said the nine hopefuls seeking the Republican nomination were asked as a group if they would support whichever candidate emerged as the nominee. He did not recall Mr. Hoffman being questioned individually
I’ll also help him with some green. Thanks for the push.
Nice hit piece by the local paper. I especially like the non-partisan “Does this say anything about his character?” line at the end. Mr Hoffman sent a polite and supportive congratulations letter to Mrs S. The “journalist” interprets it as a sacred pledge of loyalty and uses it to impune the man’s character. Its idiotic but it must be the best you’ve got to bash him with. I won’t hold my breath for a similar piece pointing out the so called flaws of any other candidate in the race.
She has no redeeming qualities as a candidate whatsoever. She is unable to answer the most basic question: “Do you intend to switch parties once elected?”
Scozzafava is a democrat trying to get into power using republican money and the republican election machine. Scozzafava is living a lie.
Jeffords. Specter. Chafee. Snowe. Collins.
We won’t get fooled again.
How? It is normal for the loser to congratulate the winner and offer support.
For you to characterize it as “Hoffman lying his way to power” is such an overreaction that not even a bad soap opera writer would do it. In addition, it convincingly demonstrates your lack of ability to understand practical elective politics.
So, what do you suggest?
You sure like RINO’s don’t ya?
Something tells me you voted for Obama.
Whatever.
Thanks for posting this ....
Due to your unwavering support of DIABLO’s - I sent Hoffman $50 this morning. Keep up the good work. At this rate he should have plenty of cash on hand for his 2010 re-election campaign.
:D
Perhaps Hoffman just changed his mind? It’s not like he sent this letter to Owens... Sheesh.
What are you, illiterate? A congratulatory note is not an unbreakable covenantal pledge of undying support. He congratulated her and, as a fellow Republican, offered to help her. Later, upon reflection and probably additional information about her positions he realized what a bad choice she was.
It's not a sin to change your mind, especially as you become aware of new data. To insist that he has to stick to his 'pledge' no matter what is peurile. We can learn a lesson here to not easily pledge ourselves to major commitments without thoroughly investigating, but I don't think that extends to simple one-liner notes of congratulations and well-wishing.
Hoffman intends to lie his way to power.
So when'd you become so enamoured of a ACORN-supported uberliberal wearing an (R) label, that you would help participate in an unfair smear?
If you don’t like the guy, that’s all the confirmation I need. I’ll send him more $$$ today.
