Hoffman was for Scozzafava before he was against her

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 does it feel to be a DNC “Useful Idiot”?

Let's ask Hoffman after he gets the Rat elected.

Doesn’t change the fact that Scozzofava is an Obama-loving Democrat parading around as a Republican.

+1

[demshateGod]

Which Rat?

[Mojave]

So Hoffman changes his mind about Scuzzy

Her positions and votes were all matters of public record. He knew what she was when he made his pledge.

He didn't change his mind about her. He just changed his mind about keeping his word.

Anyone who backs Scuzzy is basically a Party Hack or Shill, or a moron.

You say that like those things are mutually exclusive. No reason the person can't be all 3 at aonce. ;^)

You’re a Live ‘R’ or Die kinda guy, aren’t you?

[P-Marlowe]

DU TROLL ALERT!

[Recon Dad]

Supporting Boehner, would put her on my hit list and he's my congressman.

I wish Hoffman was.

[OCCASparky]

C’mon, considering the last real conservatives to come out of CA in the last 40 years were Reagan, McClintock, and Duncan Hunter? Republicans in California are considered liberal pretty much everywhere else.

[Lurking in Kansas]

Is that you, Newt?

LOL ... good one...

[BigSkyFreeper]

My guess is, the reporter is making stuff up and putting it to print. You either put all your faith and trust in the media which is largely brain dead liberals or you put all your trust in Hoffman. If you asked me, the media is the spoiler in this election, not Hoffman.

[USS Alaska]

He went back on his written pledge. He lied.

Go back to the desert and smoke some more peyote.

[Jet Jaguar]

Shenanigans.

ACORN Ping!

FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.

[Mojave]

"I did indicate that I would be happy to support a conservative Republican candidate, especially if it wasn't me

He added a written marginal "conservative" note to his WRITTEN pledge to support the nominee selected by the committee?

Did he fly away on a unicorn afterwards?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Someone’s really grasping at straws here.

[all the best]

When you pledge to do something immoral it is a good thing to go back on your word. It’s called waking up, coming to your senses. Are you suggesting that people who have support Obama should never come to their senses and change their minds?

[bmwcyle]

Do you fall for silly tricks like this often?

[smith288]

Let's ask Hoffman after he gets the Rat elected.

Oh yea, as opposed to Dede who would be getting a rat elected? WTF people...

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hoffman is not beholden to any one party. That’s what you party hacks and RINO’s can’t figure out. Guys like Hoffman are free to do as they please, while pinheads like Newt have to back the ACORN supported liberal Republican because they belong to the party and not the principle.

[Mojave]

no one in the history of politics has ever changed their mind about a candidate

Her record in the Assembly was a matter of public record when he signed his written pledge. He didn't change his mind about her, he just changed his mind about his chances with another party.
