    Palin backs 3rd-party candidate in NY House race



    Edited on Fri Oct-23-09 04:28 PM by denem

    Source: AP



    ALBANY, N.Y. — Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed a third-party candidate over the GOP-backed contender in New York's congressional special election, saying her own party has abandoned its core values.



    The former Alaska governor, who was Arizona Sen. John McCain's running-mate last year, said Thursday she was backing Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman over Republican Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava in the 23rd Congressional District race.



    Palin said Hoffman, a businessman, stands for Republican principles — smaller government, lower taxes and a commitment to individual liberty — and that Scozzafava is more aligned with Democrats. (...)



    "The Republican Party today has decided to choose a candidate who more than blurs the lines, and there is no real difference between the Democrat and the Republican in this race," Palin said in a post on her Facebook page Thursday night.

    "Palin said Hoffman, a businessman, stands for Republican principles — smaller government, lower taxes and a commitment to individual liberty" big difference between Obama with a huge government, extremely high taxes and is taking away our individual liberty. I''ll take Palin's recommendation for Hoffman any day. You on the other hand are jointed at the hip with Obamamarxist.

    ...and you, my man, are joined at the hip with ignorance, and whatever else the chirping parrots tell you.

    It's good that Palin removed herself from two-party politics.

    She is but a memory now.

    I'd find it difficult to take the recommendation of a has been quitter who thought Africa was a country, dinosaurs and man coexisted, couldn't name one news source that she regularly uses and was a laughingstock in the last election.



    You on the other hand would.

    The difference was the Obama sounded like a genius every time he spoke, and Palin spoke like a sixth grader who just learned how to string together clauses. Obama had been campaigning for over a year and half and deserved a few mulligans, whereas Palin had been in the McCain campaign for 3 or 4 month.

    So, one was a good speaker and dumb as a rock, the other not a good public speaker but smart as a whip? And you pick the rock?

    Forplay, I'd like to ask you a question.



    You sound like a true conservative - so how come you're still playing footsie with the Republicans?



    I'm a lifelong registered Republican, and right now, I don't want to have ANYTHING to do with those clowns.



    My view is, they've sold out ALL their principles, in the name of money and aggrandizement. The last Republican administration, grew the biggest government ever in history, spent more money than all the other Presidents combined, and TRAMPLED on individual liberty. That much should be patently obvious to anyone who's been awake these last ten years.



    I consider, that my Republican Party has been taken over by WOLVES, they're the next best thing to national socalists, and they are ENTIRELY EVIL (politically speaking, of course).



    And, look what's happening now - the best they've got for spokespeople, are the likes of that fat drug addict Rush Limbaugh, the whiny snotty sycophant Glenn Beck, and a governor with marginal intellectual capabilities. What happened to all the true conservatives? They've all left the party - and gone over to places like the Conservative Party, the Modern Whigs, there's a whole host of 'em that are popping and claiming to be "truly conservative", and they're getting a lot of play.



    I, as a lifelong Republican, feel politically homeless right now. There is NO party that represents my traditional conservative philosophy, which includes exactly the things you said: small gubmint, fiscal sanity, sound defense posture, respect for individual liberties... modern republicans represent NONE of those things!



    What's your take on all this? (and I mean, don't say "it's better than Obama", 'cause it's NOT - I voted for Obama over McCain's Neo-Cons, because in my eyes Obama CLEARLY represented the lesser of two evils, and I still believe that with all my heart and mind - if the worst thing he's done is spend money, well, I'd consider that a big win for the American People, relative to the nightmare that was the Neo-Cons).

    and in the same breath calling Obama "dumb as rock"-I give people the benefit of the doubt when they misspeak...I certainly gave McCain a lot of byes during this past campaign, but I take umbrage with someone calling a law professor "dumb as a rock" while claiming that someone who took six colleges to get a degree in journalism "smart as a whip."



    Aside from that, what does it say about someone who is smart as a whip getting their ass kicked by someone who is dumb as a rock?



    The bottom line is that Obama won and what I see here is a lot of wound licking.
    As a Democrat, I take solace in the fact that the Republicans have nominated the guy who lost the nomination to the guy who lost the presidency to the guy who is now the President.
