NY-23: Breaking: Palin Endorses...Hoffman

by: phillip anderson

Thu Oct 22, 2009 at 21:48:41 PM EDT


This race just keeps getting more fun to watch. The late breaking news tonight is that Caribou Barbie herself has endorsed Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. That's right. The GOP's most recent VP nominee just declined to endorse the GOP's candidate and went on and gave her blessing to the teabagger. The ever awesome Weekly Standard has the scoop.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD just received a statement from Sarah Palin endorsing conservative Doug Hoffman for Congress:

   The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now.

   The votes of every member of Congress affect every American, so it's important for all of us to pay attention to this important Congressional campaign in upstate New York. I am very pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next Representative from New York's 23rd Congressional district. It's my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law.

   Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a "time for choosing."

I wonder if she can see Watertown from her house?

I'm not kidding when I say that I'm going to be sorry to see this one end.

Palin's full letter is on the flip.

The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now.

   The votes of every member of Congress affect every American, so it's important for all of us to pay attention to this important Congressional campaign in upstate New York. I am very pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next Representative from New York's 23rd Congressional district. It's my honor to endorse Doug and to do what I can to help him win, including having my political action committee, SarahPAC, donate to his campaign the maximum contribution allowed by law.

   Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a "time for choosing."

   The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise. Doug Hoffman is committed to ending the reckless spending in Washington, D.C. and the massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government. He is also fully committed to supporting our men and women in uniform as they seek to honorably complete their missions overseas.

   And best 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 that more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party's ticket.

   Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support for Doug Hoffman: no more politics as usual.

   You can help Doug by visiting his official website below and joining me in supporting his campaign:

Awesome.

Wow. Just, wow. (4.00 / 4)
Seems it's foot shooting season for the Republican Party.

We've got some work ahead of us.

These days... Even Republicans won't vote for (4.00 / 1)
Republicans.

And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.

She must be unfamiliar with NYS-- Conservative Party is well-known for annointing.  She should have stuck to her post and watched Russia for whatever.


palin? (4.00 / 7)
unfamiliar? really?

no one could have predicted that sarah palin might not know what the hell she's talking about...

TODAY is day one. It always is.

She can see Canada from the 23rd district! (4.00 / 1)


What a drama queen! She just can't keep out of the limelight. (0.00 / 0)
Let's hope all this attention from "outsiders" has the opposite affect - more people vote for Owens because they don't want people who don't live in NY-23 telling them what to do.

She just broke GOP rule #1 (0.00 / 0)
Republican politicians always back the Republican candidates. I'm hoping this opens up a whole Pandora's box for the GOP the way it has for the Democrats in NY ever since Wilson-Pakula became law.  

Please Stay Our of New York Politics, Mrs. Palin (4.00 / 1)
There's enough scum in this state without having to worry about you as well.

I think the State Republicans better (0.00 / 0)
figure out that the Country is moving Right  . . . .

What crack are you smoking?? (4.00 / 1)

Fine by me.... (4.00 / 2)
Who do we call to tell them that? The more right they go, the more America wins.

In 1964, the GOP went hard right and lost in their biggest landslide...

More of that, please.

So, John. You obviously have some ties to the loony wing of the state GOP. Please encourage them to nominate ONLY Teabaggers and Birthers and Deathers from here on out. It will destroy the GOP quicker and there is a chance we can get a sane third party to give the Dems something to fear...which is what they need.


We've got some work ahead of us.

See, e.g., Andy Spano. (0.00 / 0)
Good luck next year, especially in the State Senate.

To paraphrase out current vice president... (0.00 / 0)
Who cares?

"Caribou Barbie" (0.00 / 0)
How very sexist of you.  You sound like your idol Keith Olbermann.  At least you didn't call her a "mashed up bag of meat with lipstick on it".
