NY-23: Sarah Palin has endorsed Doug Hoffman, the conservative Party candidate. Palin waded into the race with a post on her Facebook page. "[B]est of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine. Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty. Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of 'blurring the lines' between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, the Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race."

We must support and elect constitutional candidates whom we know beforehand will take their oath to the constitution seriously and fufill that oath, and who are committed wholly to stand on and support constitutional principle.

When WE, the citizens and voters of this nation insist on that course of action ourselves, in large numbers, we will inact change.

That is what is happening here with Sarah and others who are supporting Hoffman...and it is what MUST happen with each of us.

When we do, the right candidates and the right parties will rise to the top like cream rises to the top of fresh milk because we will have insisted and forced it to be so.

The FR sanctioned:

RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION EFFORT

which is an FR Alliance web site, is about precisely that. Please join us, and a lot of other FREEPERS there, as we work together and identify and support candidates dedicated to doing rpecisely that at all levels.

This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party's ticket.”

Good to know there is a real conservative running for office in New York.

Let's all send Hoffman some money; and surprise the so called conservatives that have endorsed Deeds. I am.

It is stupid, a bad move on their part; and turns me permanently off; ... the Republicans in Washington ... throwing their support to him (Deeds).

It’s step up to the plate time, folks. The money (and effort) where the mouth is moment. Sarah’s put it on the line and it’s time for those who talk big, to put up. (No shutting up allowed.)

If Hoffman goes down after this, the media, the RNC, the Dems will all put it on Sarah and say, see, she can’t deliver oogatz. So send money, make calls, if you live near there, volunteer, if you’ve got a brother-in-law who has a cousin who has a nephew or niece who lives there, call them and make sure they get out and get others. We all talk about Sarah and a few others being the only ones with “attachments”. Well, let’s see where ours are. There is no honor in letting or pushing someone to step to the fore and then when they turn around, they wonder where all the big talkers went.

This is stating the obvious but if there’s anyone out there who doesn’t see that isn’t just about a single district in upstate NY. It’s as much about beating the RNC – maybe more so - as it is about beating the Democrats. It’s about correcting the “big tent” excuse for going along to get along. And it’s about principles. Having them and sticking to them.

Palin needs to endorse Keith Rothfus, who is running for Congress from Western Pennsylvania.

Thank you for the correction. I heard about it on the radio. Apparently I did not listen closely enough, or they failed to mention it was a she.

Father help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
