Gingrich endorses Hoffman Posted: October 31st, 2009 01:04 PM ET
From CNN Political Editor Mark Preston
WASHINGTON (CNN)– Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who came under fire from some conservatives for endorsing Dede Scozzafava in next week's special Congressional election in New York, is now backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman.
Gingrich made the announcement via Twitter shortly after the Republican Party nominee Scozzafava announced she was releasing supporters from their commitment to back her.
"Scozzafava dropping out leaves hoffman as only anti-tax anti-pelosi vote in ny 23 Every voter opposed to tax increases support doug hoffman," Gingrich wrote on Twitter. (Tweet shown as it appeared)

You’ve supported the liberal RINO.
“No, that was Hoffman”
Umm no, that was you and there is a huge history of your posts proving otherwise.
So much time.

There are some uncanny similarities between those two. Hallelujah for that.
I don't think that there's any question that Sarah understands that the will of the people, and her unique and special positioning at this precise moment in history will compel her to move toward the Presidency of the US.
I believe that she also understands that this is a solemn responsibility that she must accept, for the good of the nation. She will not falter, and she will not fail us.
The "will of the people" brought us Obama, FDR, and socialism. The masses are asses, and I would prefer to think of Sarah leading an "informed minority" to power.
So huge you can't find one.
You didn’t need to convince me. I know a conservative when I see them. Us conservatives are rino hunting, and it’s sorta fun. It’s funny, Obama winning has solidified conservatives better than ever. Before obama, we just bitched, now we’re active because our freedom is being ripped from us. It’s good to see the activism, it should have happened years ago, but it’s happening now. Freedom will win. Look at the odds our founders were up against. The super power England, only 30% support of the colonists, etc. But, freedom won. Freedom will prevail. It’s just so tough now. We can not falter now!
I said all throughout the 2008 campaign, that if Obama were elected, he would engender the greatest outpouring of OPPOSITION to an administration that this country has seen in a lifetime. This is exactly what's happening now.
Like you, I see this as a good thing. If McCain had won the election, our side would have continued to doze, or would have kept playing "politics as usual", when what was clearly needed was an historic showdown between traditional conservatism, and radical liberalism.
Predictably, Obama has pushed us to stand and fight - something that we've needed to do since before Clinton's time in office.
In a weird sort of way, Obama is actually a good development for our nation. He has brought the threat of total destruction of our constitutional form of government home to us like no one before him, and it has motivated us to get off our collective duffs to do something about it.
Freedom will win. Look at the odds our founders were up against. The super power England, only 30% support of the colonists, etc. But, freedom won. Freedom will prevail.
I believe that you're right, to the very core of my being.
You said what I believe; well said. We’re unlike any other culture, we have freedom. We won’t lose it.
One other thing, if McCain had won, Palin would have been diminished.
That thought went through my mind while I was posting, but like so many others, it just didn't stick to the keyboard ;-)
You're absolutely right about the fact that Sarah would have spent four very valuable years, silently riding shotgun with Juan McCain't (well, maybe not so silently!).
What a waste that would have been!
I believe that time will show that Obama's win over McCain was what needed to happen to energize the majority's opposition to the generations of creeping Socialism in America.
Even better that Sarah wound up positioned as her own woman, beholden to no one, during this crucial time.
And, like our forebears of Revolutionary times, we're well armed and defiant enough to actually fight back against tyranny.
If the vile Marxists in power manage to implement even half of their agenda, things in this country will erode so badly that the thin social veneer will be wiped away -- and when that happens, all hell will break loose. It will be the dawn of a new morning in America.
Gotta love Newt! He’s a whore, through and through...
