In a NY Post op-ed Doug Hoffman says it’s time to take back the Republican Party.
I’m a lifelong Republican running as the nominee of the New York State Conservative Party. I didn’t leave the Republican Party, the party left me. The GOP bosses in New York and Washington felt the candidate needed to be as liberal as possible. They picked a professional politician, with a voting record more liberal than 46 Democrats in the New York state legislature. They threw principles out the window. Their candidate has voted for increased spending, higher taxes, gay marriage and abortion. She supports “Card Check” (EFCA) and is supported by trial lawyers, gay activists and Big Labor. In 2008 she ran on the line of the radical left Working Families Party, ACORN’s political party in New York.
The battle I wage is not a lonely one. Like-minded citizens in the district, the state and the nation have joined me in this fight.
It is a battle that has been joined by current and former elected Republican officials, conservative activists and members of the ever-growing Tea Party and 9/12 movements. And if the GOP picks liberal candidates for the midterm congressional elections next year, they may find that there are a lot more people out there like me who won’t go along. We are not going to win by becoming more like the Democrats. We’re going to win by standing up for our beliefs.
It’s principle over party.
It’s a fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party. It’s a fight for fiscal responsibility and the return of common sense to those who govern us.
This is a fight for our children’s future. It’s a fight for America.
If you haven’t been following the NY23 race you may not be aware that Doug Hoffman is one of us. You can help Doug take back the Party by contributing to his campaign. It’s an uphill battle being a 3rd party candidate and he needs all the help he can get.
I wish Doug was running against that lapdog Maffei.
