Colorado Republicans stand up for Doug Hoffman; more GOP support pours in

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 28, 2009 07:11 AM

Received this statement from a group of conservative Colorado Republican legislators who are lending their support to NY-23 conservative candidate Doug Hoffman. They tell me they “hope the effect will be to energize other Republican state legislators around the country to do the same:”

Colorado Republican legislators Sen. Scott Renfroe, Sen. Kevin Lundberg, Sen. Greg Brophy, Sen. Dave Schultheis and Rep. Kent Lambert are pleased to endorse Republican Doug Hoffman, candidate for the 23rd Congressional District of New York. A liberal Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, is supported by the New York GOP in a contest that has not had the benefit of a primary election. Assemblywoman Scozzafava’s views do not reflect the conservative principles set forth in the Republican Platform.

The Republican establishment should stop supporting candidates that merely call themselves Republicans to get elected, and whose actions then undermine principled Republican legislation. We should represent our loyal Party members better by heeding their warnings against compromising Republican principles. Unlike Scozzafava’s views, the Republican Party Platform is pro-life, pro-capitalist, and pro-traditional marriage, and is opposed to radical leftist groups like ACORN.

Liberal Democrat issues are not in the best interest of the citizens of the United States, and therefore should be rejected by the Republican Party if we want this nation to survive and thrive as a beacon of light to the world. This is not just a local New York issue. Republicans throughout America should insist that their Party back candidates worthy of their support, not liberals supported by Democratic leaders and Barack Obama.

We are thrilled to have found that Doug Hoffman will stand firm for freedom, liberty, limited government and the other values that Republicans hold dear.

Please consider helping Doug by visiting his official website and joining us in supporting his campaign.

More GOP support for Doug Hoffman from GOP Rep. Todd Akin in Missouri; GOP Rep. Dana Rohrbacher; and former NRCC chair Tom Cole.

Fred Thompson lashes back at Newt Gingrich.

And here’s a sharp reply to Newt’s specious carpetbagger cheap shot against Hoffman.

    They are indeed correct. It’s time to stop Democrats posing as Republicans in order to get elected. They are the proverbial wolves in sheep’s clothing.

    Maybe, if enough conservatives are voted in, this sort of arrogance by John Murtha in Congress can be stopped.

    Here’s some food for thought for us “Conservatives”. This race in NY,since Governor Palin endorsed Mr. Hoffman and Gingrichs’ doubling down has brought out endorsements and the lack thereof by individuals in the Republican Party. It would be good if there was a way to remind all the voters in the upcoming 2010 elections which candidates supported Hoffman and which ones didn’t. If we could get them “on record” prior to next years’ election their stance on this race would be telling and we could vote accordingly for principled conservatives.

    What this signifies is the beginning of the conservative uprising from the lower ranks of the GOP. If this catches fire, it will be interesting to hear the verbal contortions from the party elites as they try to rationalize why everyone is wrong but them. The Gang of McCain that holds the reins will never leave willingly.

    This uprising will either result in new leadership before next year’s elections or form a very visible and broad base for a new major party.

    Kind of a corollary issue but I really didn’t expect Pawlenty to endorse Hoffman (which he did). This bears watching closely. This is the early favorite to win the GOP nomination in 2012 and has attracted the big hitters that supported Bush and McCain. Somehow, I don’t buy it. More tactical than conviction methinks.

    How? She was hardly the first big name to back Hoffman. At least Bachmann and Armey were before her. And what has she done besides issue a press release? Has she gone to the district to campaign for him? I know I read about a few other names doing so. Has she tried to raise money for him?

    Hey chap, if you actually take the time to read Sarah Palin’s facebook page, you would have read the following…

    “…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.”
    Source: Sarah Palin

    You are a typical anti-Palin basher who would rather trash a Conservative without facts then actually do some research. corkie never said she was the first to endorse. Why don’t you read Palin’s facebook messages before you attack? I donated to Hoffman after reading her SARAHPAC MONETARY endorsement. Sarah Palin Led and I Followed. She’s a Conservative leader like corkie stated.

    I meant attend fundraisers for him. I do not consider having her PAC donate a whopping $2,400 “leadership.”

    And I never said corkie said she was the first to endorse. But I would consider that a pretty strong indicator of leadership, sticking your neck out when no one else has. She certainly has not been the most vocal endorser either. Dick Armey is actually going to the district to campaign. If Palin has done or said more, I haven’t been able to find it.

    donated to Hoffman after reading her SARAHPAC MONETARY endorsement.

    Seriously, if you consider one facebook blurb and a $2,400 donation “leadership” it is no wonder the Republican party has been able to walk all over the conservatives in its party for so many years.

    In my book, the Pawlenty endorsement is highly suspect and so he belongs in this discussion. He is the RNC darling yet he endorsed Hoffman. Had Palin not beat him to it and were Hoffman not the projected winner, he would have remained on the sidelines.

    Most of the heavy hitters from Team Bush and Team McCain are already on Team Pawlenty. That makes him the RNC darling, unless you believe that only becomes known by an RNC press conference. Pawlenty may be the latest RINO camel poking its nose into the conservative tent. We need to beware.

    If that offends you, I don’t know what to say. Wear a helmet?

    Mark my word, if Pawlenty gains favor among conservatives, he will have gotten a pass from the RNC to say whatever he needs to say to win the nomination but a deal will have been cut with the same old interests.

    I suspect you are thinking with your emotions rather than your intellect.

    Because Palin didn’t do what Chappy thought she should do,

    To be a leader? Yes you are right she didn’t do what I thought she should do to meet my definition of leadership, which is why I questioned her leadership on the issue. That is very astute of you WE82.

    even though he doesn’t know what she has done

    Yes I do. A facebook post that came out after a number of other prominent Republicans had already endorsed her and, more importantly, after her base had already revolted on the issue. How long have the conservative blogs been covering this? MM, Red State, Glenn Beck…were all out ahead of this, ginning up support for Hoffman among the conservatives. She followed her troops into battle. Not the other way around. Oh. And she gave $2,400. Am I missing anything?

    List of things she didn’t do: any public fundraisers, any active campaigning (like Armey), any public speeches, any TV or radio ads (like Fred Thompson), any appearances with Hoffman…

    I WAS going to recommend you just swim it. But I hear the waters in the North Atlantic get a bit cold this time of year.

    I have no problem if you want to move to Hong Kong instead.

    There is nothing like an invigorating swim in the North Atlantic! I recommend you take a 10 minute swim and let me know how that works out for you. Then I’ll consider it.

    We have the same thing happening in CO as in NY- the GOP put up a squish, Norton, as ‘their’ candidate; even tho she voted for the largest tax increase in state history.

    The ONLY true Conservative candidate in CO is Tidwell- he’s pushing hard for the same ‘reforms’ and ideals as Conservatives should. This battle here will end up similar- GO TIDWELL!

    The GOP seems to think they can “win” by become Democrats. When you start defining “winning” as fighting to implement your opponent’s platform I am pretty sure you have lost…

    Oddly enough, the GOP “leadership” doesn’t seem to get it.

    I wonder what it would take to pull off a “coup de tat” of the Repub Party’s leadership? I’m not connected enough to know exactly what’s necessary. Your thoughts, MM?

    I am pretty sure that the first step is for everyone to synchronize their watches. At least that is what the A-Team would always do.

    And then we could learn how to spell “coup d’etat.” Mr. T is very big on spelling…

    Why do we say “coup d’etat” instead of “Putsch” or “Staatsstreich?” The Russian phrase, “Государственный переворот,” just doesn’t cut it though…

    Or if you prefer, Извините меня, но я не могу поговорить финское.

    Of course, that phrase led to complications back in the Winter of 1939 when Joe Stalin said it to Field Marshal Mannerheim. Evidently, due to Stalin’s poor pronunciation it was translated as “Excuse me but I would like to feed you to an enraged Møøse.”

    Phil,
    I take offense at your use of the description “uprising of the lower ranks of the GOP”.
    While not in a personal sense but from a full frontal Constitutional understanding:
    They work for ME, WE and US.
    If that does not apply so be it.

    Your argument would stand if the GOP agreed with your sentiment of them working for you and us.

    They do not, and you are a fool to follow them, as they are headed into the abyss.
