Last night on Beck, I think it was, I saw Doug Hoffman for the first time and wasn't impressed.
The Fox TV host was quizzing him about his candidacy for the the U.S. Representative NY-23 district special election where he’s opposed by an Obama robot, and a “Republican” Obamabot-lite with
the improbable name recognition, Dede Scozzafava.
Guzuntight!
A novice to politics, Hoffman, a bespeckled, Christian, veteran, middle-aged man appeared to be exactly as advertised: a self-made, middle-class conservative fed up with what is happening to his country, and believes it is caused by two things: democrats and republicans.
From his website, this is his campaign:
I'm running for Congress because I sense the America I love is being taken away from us. I want to tell Washington: No more bailouts. No more taxes. No more trillion dollar deficits. That's what I'm fighting for.
My opponents have bought and paid for $876,000 in TV ads. I urgently need to raise $125, 000… immediately.
My opponents are a liberal Republican who voted for gay marriage (twice) and was endorsed by ACORN, and a Nancy Pelosi Democrat.
Defeating them comes down to one cold, hard fact – money.
In 1980, I helped Lake Placid with our Olympics when the US beat the Russians in hockey – the same year Reagan was elected. It’s time to send Washington a new message now.
Refreshing, no?
Hoffman’s entered the bizarre world of GOP “special masters” who gave us John McCain, so he finds himself being opposed by his own (former) party, as well as some of it’s luminaries, such as Newt Gingrich who offers this great insight into 2010 politics:
“Conservatives are inadvertently hindering the cause by backing Conservative Party nominee Doug Hoffman over Dede Scozzafava.”
“The Newt” is in the tank for a stealth democrat in drag; he rationalizes, “I never second-guess the local party.”
Moreover, the New York GOP which is running attack ads against Hoffman in favor of Scozzafava, who is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and the wife of a union capo.
The former small town mayor, Scozzafava (below, left) is infamous for calling the cops on an AP reporter who had the temerity to ask obvious questions of the candidate. (Click here and scroll to the bottom of the article for this very odd piece of campaigning.)
When I said I wasn’t impressed with Hoffman at the top of this, I meant that he isn’t exactly as TV friendly as I’d hoped, but perhaps we’ve crossed a symbolic Rubicon with this humble man who is simply fed up and is willing to fight for his country.
That’s more than enough for me.
The GOP default position every four, if not every two years is the ancient “big tent” strategy; essentially this… conservative Americans are in the minority (a lie, see proof: here.) and must attract illegal aliens, cross-dressers, idiots, numbskulls, popinjays, ex-cons and tolerate the likes of the GOP’s “youth consultant” and full-time trolip, Meghan McCain, to have enough votes to win in November.
Oh, shut-up…. I can hear it now: oooh, a candidates “children” are off limits.
I write very few things that lack grounding… to wit:
Yeah, spawn of Maverick.
She just had to post this to her Twitter account… appropriate, no?
The bimbo is so stupid that she doesn’t realizes that the dems and the news media are using her for the limited conservative-bashing ability she offers.
Once she’s served her purpose, she’ll be tossed aside, Cindy Sheehan-style.
Pardon, I digress.
This more important than it appears; the unlikely candidacy of Doug Hoffman may have finally provided the very necessary tip of the spear for the 9/12 folks, tea party-goers, and angry white males, a conservative movement that has been brewing rather aimlessly for decades.
The time is well nigh to finally jettison the old-style Republicanism—Rockefeller-elites who have more in common with the state-run media and the liberal wing of the dem-party than they do with America… let alone conservative America.
What and whom do I mean?
Here are a few current quick shots from the hip:
Asked Sunday on “Deface the Nation” if he agreed with former Vice President Dick Cheney's (God love him) recent remarks, in which he said, that Obama’s "signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries," McCain said, "I wouldn't use that language."
Of course he wouldn’t… he uses this language:
“And so the more united we can be behind him, I think the more the chances are of success and American public support.
"Let's look forward. I want to support the president. I want this strategy to work. I know it can work, and I know it will work if . . . it's properly resourced.”
To which Real Americans demand, “What effing strategy???”
“Shamnesty” Graham who is clearly on crack:
"I think an Israeli attack on Iran is a nightmare for the world, because it will rally the Arab world around Iran and they're not aligned now. It's too much pressure to put on Israel," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News' Chris Wallace.
Oct., 10, 2009:
“Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina publicly announced his support for climate legislation on Sunday in an op-ed column with Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.”
Wasn’t Kerry a 90-day hero in Vietnam? Didn’t he take the early out with three paper cuts and leave his PBR shipmates to their fates?
Didn’t he say this: … Vietnam veterans “had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam…”
Why do I want to rip Graham’s throat out before Kerry’s?
Because I hate traitors more than opportunists.
Finally… oh, stop groaning.
Finally, if we are to turn the tide of this socialist coup, we are far better served by the Doug Hoffmans of American because there are many of them in every city, town and community in the nation, and very few in the republican party upper echelon.
It’s not up to them, it’s up to us.
Strike now.
