Hoffman supported universal health care, insuring everybody, laxer immigration laws, no “wall” to keep people out, earmarks, bailouts and faster stimulus spending.

Just a CINO.

Oh, please, Hoffman would be better than anything else they’re running up there, and at least it would be possible to work with him. Voting Dem or RINO, your positions obviously, would give us somebody who would be totally deaf on any of these subjects.

Of course, then I think back on how the anti-immigration lobby here on FR destroyed a lot of conservative candidates who weren’t perfectly in line with their anti-Mexican obssession - and landed us with McCain, selected by the RNC that didn’t care one way or the other and simply felt that John deserved his turn.

Learn to work with people who at least agree on major principles - and I think Hoffman does, although I’m not 100% in agreement, either - or you’ll end up part of the circular firing squad that has left us with nothing but loser RINO candidates.

Is this in Hoffman’s campaign record and/or website?

Wrong, wrong, and wrong..

http://www.doughoffmanforcongress.com/issues.html#spending

What spending would you cut?
I would cut the pork and wasteful earmarks. When the Democrats took control of congress, they did so with the promise to end earmarks. Unfortunately, they not only did not end earmarks, they took them to a whole new level. I didn’t have to think twice. I signed the pledge to oppose pork barrel spending.”

Bill Owens: Refused to sign.

Dede Scozzafava: Refused to sign.

++++++++++++++++++
Wrong Mojave.

“Work to insure everyone” is broadly ambiguous, and doesn’t mean universal, nor insuring everyone.

I’m not saying, I’d have put it that way, nor that perhaps he can’t refine that more. But Hoffman’s position is simply not what you said.

Where do you stand on health care reform?
Although universal health care sounds great in theory, we can’t afford to do everything at once… especially when it means adding an additional trillion dollars to the deficit we are handing to our children and grandchildren. I believe our first step should be to bring the spiraling costs of healthcare under control so the cost of healthcare does not destroy the budgets of hardworking families and retirees. Then, as the economy picks up we can work to insure everyone.

+++++++++++++++++

Hoffman is talking about legal immigration and then cracking down on illegal immigrants who commit crimes.

Again, I personally would prefer he just say crack down on illegal immigrants and I also support the wall, but he’s talking with a bunch of farmers up there - so I’m sure he’s got some reasoning for how he crafted that statement.

Where do you stand on illegal immigration?
There is no question that our immigration policies are flawed. The answer, though, is not to put up a wall and stop all immigration. The answer is to create an easier path for immigrants to enter the United States – and to work here – while at the same time getting tough on illegal immigrants who commit crimes.

Is it me, or do the two links below seem inconsistent? The Scorecard position issues don't seem to match positions with the "Doug Hoffman on the Issues" page:
