Pataki Joins the Misguided, Endorses Hoffman

Red State has the breaking news of Gov. George Pataki’s endorsement of Doug Hoffman:

Statement from Governor George E. Pataki

As someone personally engaged in the way of life in the Adirondacks and Northern New York, I’m deeply concerned about the course of our nation and the outcome of the election in the 23rd Congressional District.

Simply put, we cannot afford to give another vote to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid we cannot afford another vote for higher taxes, we cannot afford another vote for government run health care and we absolutely cannot afford another vote to take away from hard working men and women the right to secret ballot.

That is why tonight, I’m proud to endorse Doug Hoffman, a Republican, running on the Conservative line for Congress in the 23rd Congressional District.

Doug Hoffman will stand up to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. He will fight for all the residents of northern New York. He will fight for our proud servicemen and women at Fort Drum, our dairy farmers in Lowville and our manufacturers in Plattsburgh.

As a businessman, and as a life-long resident of the North Country Doug Hoffman understands the need to lower taxes on working families, the need to stand tall against terror and he won’t back phony stimulus programs that fail to create the jobs we need and leaves a mountain of debt to our children.

When elected to Congress Doug will work to reduce our taxes, he will stand tall against those who despise our freedoms and he will be a vigilant stalwart against those who would substitute government programs for individual initiative.

And Doug Hoffman can win.

I urge all the voters of the 23rd Congressional District – Republican Democrat, Independent and Conservative to come out and vote for Doug Hoffman for Congress.

So, just so we are clear, Doug Hoffman is endorsed by:

And Dede Scozzafava is endorsed by the GOP establishment, the founder of the Daily Kos and ACORN.

But we’re the misguided ones…

  1. You forgot Newt, Scozzafava is also endorsed by Newt. So she’s extra special.

    ‘…Doug Hoffman will stand up to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid…’

    Well, someone needs to. Our Country is already in debt up to It’s eyeballs and this healthcare bill will only make our lives worse than what they already are. I still find it hard to believe that we have so many heartless people in Congress that have the audacity to call themselves ‘American’ because in my opinion they do not deserve the title or have the right to claim they are American. No true American would seek to deliberately hurt the American people by passing this bill.

    I will never support anyone in Congress who supports this healthcare reform, and I will never sign up for a ‘government run healthcare plan’, no matter what the ‘penalties’ may be.

    My support goes toward any and all Congressmen who OPPOSE this bill and who are TRUE Americans.
