Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman gets Sarah Palin's endorsement
Former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has broken party ranks and endorsed a third-party candidate over his Republican competitor in an upstate New York congressional race.
Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman got the backing of Palin in an announcement on her Facebook page , writing that in an election in which “there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican,” “Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.”
Hoffman is running for the 23rd District congressional seat against Republican Dede Scozzafava, a moderate who endorses same-sex marriage and abortion rights.
Dede Scozzafava
Scozzafava, who was chosen by GOP apparatchiks after the heavily-Republican district voted for Obama last year, has gotten the endorsement ofNewt Gingrich. The former House Speaker blasted Palin’s endorsement as carptebagging when he said, “So I say to my many conservative friends who suddenly decided that, whether they’re from Minnesota or Alaska or Texas, they know more than the upstate New York Republicans? I don’t think so. And I don’t think it’s a good precedent.”
In addition to the Gingrich nod, Scozzafava has gotten an endorsement from the NRA. Hoffman is also being backed by conservatives Tim Pawlenty and Dick Armey, and New York conservative talk radio icon Bob Grant.

I just canceled my membership in the NRA because they endorsed Scozzafava.
I understand that the NRA supports the person that is good on 2nd amendment rights.
But what the NRA apparently doesn’t understand is that 2nd amendment rights mean NOTHING when there’s no America and the Liberals have made toilet paper out of the Constitution
And make NO mistake, Scuzzyfuzzygirl is a LIBERAL!
GOOD FOR HER!!! RIGHT NOW I SEE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES. BOTH ARE RUN BY STUPID IDIOTS, NEITHER ONE LISTENS TO WHAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS TELL THEM, AND BOTH THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEND OUR $$$$ ANY FRIGGIN WAY THEY WANT.
So if this Republican Dede Scozzafava, is a so-called “moderate” and endorses same-sex unions and slaughtering innocent unborn babies? Isn’t it an oxymoron to call her a “moderate?” Oh I see RoBoTech said it all at the end -she is LIBERAL. I used to like Newt Gingrich – See I thought he was a good guy because he spoke at a Christians United for Israel event in Washington. I don’t believe a word any in Washington speak, heck politicians period say. Obama has proven you can be a bold faced liar time and time again. And that as long as you have a schmoozing attitude with a Cheshire cat grin-some people will believe anything he says. Despite broken promises time and again. He has no conscience about it either. Brings to mind how Islam can lie as long as it gets them what they want in the end. The only One Who can be trusted is Almighty God through Jesus Christ. There is NO shadow of turning with Him. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow without end. Upon that solid Rock I will stand. Thank God.
I can understand why Sarah Palin did what she did.
Maybe we all need to switch and get things back on track again. Things are not as they should be. I agree with Wanda.
Happy Holloween you RINO chickens. The giant Palin is stalking you and is going to stomp you hard! Palin/Voight in ‘012!
