Breaking: Artic Fox Endorses Hoffman
This could be a game-changer, folks. In what appears to be an answer to Sapwolf’s prayers (he must have burned through several rosaries) former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has come out in full endorsement of Doug Hoffman, conservative candidate for Congress in New York’s 23rd Congressional District.
This is from her Facebook page:
Support Doug Hoffman
Today at 5:28pm [Alaska time]
The people of the 23rd Congressional District of New York are ready to shake things up, and Doug Hoffman is coming on strong as Election Day approaches! He needs our help now.
The votes of every member of Congress affect every American, so it’s important for all of us to pay attention to this important Congressional campaign in upstate New York. I am very pleased to announce my support for Doug Hoffman in his fight to be the next Representative from New York’s 23rd Congressional district. It’s my honor to endorse Doug 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.
Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a “time for choosing.”
The federal government borrows, spends, and prints too much money, while our national debt hits a record high. Government is growing while the private sector is shrinking, and unemployment is on the rise. Doug Hoffman is committed to ending the reckless spending in Washington, D.C. and the massive increase in the size and scope of the federal government. He is also fully committed to supporting our men and women in uniform as they seek to honorably complete their missions overseas.
And best of all, Doug Hoffman has not been anointed by any political machine.
Doug Hoffman stands for the principles that all Republicans should share: smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense, and a commitment to individual liberty.
Political parties must stand for something. When Republicans were in the wilderness in the late 1970s, Ronald Reagan knew that the doctrine of “blurring the lines” between parties was not an appropriate way to win elections. Unfortunately, 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. This is why Doug Hoffman is running on the Conservative Party’s ticket.
Republicans and conservatives around the country are sending an important message to the Republican establishment in their outstanding grassroots support for Doug Hoffman: no more politics as usual.
You can help Doug by visiting his official website below and joining me in supporting his campaign:

Sarah Palin
Doug Hoffman is to the 23rd Congressional District of New York, what Debra Medina is to the Texas 2010 gubernatorial race.
Sapwolf,
Can you please assure me that you will do everything in your power to alert your idol of this?
Again, remember what I said about the broadside hit of the new paradigm?
This is it.
Prepare for impact.
Still don’t believe me?

Educate yourself.
You made your point. This thread concerns Sarah Palin and Doug Hoffman.
Mad Dog,
Perry is to the right of Hutch. Perry is a friend of Sarah’s. Sarah has already mentioned she will campaign for Perry.
The situation in NY-23 has a RINO who is even possibly further left of the Dem. Full justification in that situation to back Hoffman.
I’ll back Medina when DailyKOS endorses Perry.
AGREED?
All of you: Sapwolf, Manly (and) Sarah Palin HAVE to stay out of Texas politics! You don’t live here and therefore cannot possibly know what the hell is going on down here!
Ever heard of the mantra: “Don’t mess with Texas?” Well now is the time to heed that very keenly!!
Texans don’t take lightly to being insulted!!
Well fine, Sapwolf, if you cannot convey a single message - because of your predetermined bias - to Sarah, then I’ll do it myself! Just don’t bitch at me when we true conservatives destroy Sarah for her lack of judgment!
I am being dead serious here!
Don’t fuck with Texas!
You got that kemosabe?!
20-20,
Quit changing your mind…and watch your language or I’ll have to come down there with a rolled up newspaper!!!
If Hoffman wins, Newt and the RNC will be exposed and marginalized…Their LACK of guiding conservative principles and a moral compass will been seen by all those who consider themselves as conservatives, libertarians and, independents…out of touch with common sense…
MadDog, YOU are the one who dragged Texan politics onto this site.
Here are your options: drop the obsession with torpedoing Rick Perry or start your own site.
Your call, pal.
Eat snow, Newtie.
Mad Dog.
Everybody knows how local Texas politics is. Perry will have to determine if outsiders like Sarah would help or hurt his campaign. I believe he was on the record as saying he would welcome it.
However, he may change his mind if he thinks it is perceived as meddling in Texas stuff and could hurt him in the primary or general.
You say above: “Sapwolf,
Can you please assure me that you will do everything in your power to alert your idol of this?”
Why would I do that? Per your own words it in effect would be meddling.
And also, when did I EVER insult Texas?
You want me to convey a message and then tell me “Don’t fuck with Texas!”
Make up your mind. I lived in Texas in San Antonio for about 4 months and was on a project there for 8 months. I love the state.
I have no idea why you think I would have anything other than good thoughts, memories with friends about my time there.
I’d ask for an apology, but I don’t need it and it’s Manly’s site.
Funny you mention ‘kemosabe’. I happen to be part American Indian.
A Real Republican winning in NY State? Ah, a fantasy, but a great thought nevertheless. It is New York. Between the People’s Republic of Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Still, a lovely thought. It would make the old RINOkiller a happy man indeed. A lovely thought.
I have eyes and ears in that neck of the woods, RK. Something major is happening in the 23rd.
What’s good for Texas, is good for the rest of this country.
Regardless of the blog topic this post, Manly has weighed in on Texas politics many a time, as well as many of you have commented about us here in these sections, many times when the subject wasn’t about us.
We here in Texas do truly believe that our state is the where the end game exists as far as the sovereignty and the direction of our country, and we arrived at that without you informing us. We know this instinctively, but the true grassroots movement is fast moving away from Rick Perry, because we know and are discovering the truth about his devious tactics, that are more insidious than you ever want to admit or confront, but have no fear, we are instinctively embodied with a will to fight unlike the eastern beltway mush heads.
Where you crossed the line, Sapwolf is bringing DailyKOS into the conversation, because they don’t have a damn thing to do with us!
Regardless of how much time you have spent here and regardless of how many friends you have here and regardless of what you have heard, the reason you risk insulting us if you “allow” Sarah Palin to support Rick Perry, is because things are fast coming to a head here, with hits coming out about Perry on a daily basis, so much so, it’s makes my head spin and there is a huge flip about to happen from single issue conservative supporters of Rick Perry to Debra Medina as the only tried and true conservative (and this is all happening before anybody normally pays any mass attention to political campaigns - with the primaries in March).
Debra Medina is the “Doug Hoffman” of Texas.
Rick Perry is a McCain/Bush/Nixon/Bill Clinton light/FDR in sheep’s clothing.
I didn’t know you are part Indian, Sapwolf. You must’ve pulled the feather out before we saw your picture? I keed, I keed...
I am your eyes and ears in this neck of the woods. At least humor me and pretend your listening and educating yourself on what we know here..
It’s no more complicated than that.
Thank you.
It’s hard to listen to a rant laced with bad words directed at us…
I learned it from the master himself.
Mad Dog,
People know that Perry is ‘rhetorically’ pulling to the right hoping to get the conservative base to support him. Yes, he ain’t the Doug Hoffman of Texas. No argument there. But between him and Hutchison there may be some Texans thinking that Perry is the lesser of two evils.
If Medina can get going, and she is a good conservative candidate, why wouldn’t Dick Armey support her? Or, if Perry is some moderate guy trying to do ‘business as usual’ by talking conservatism rather than doing it, let’s hope Texans go for her.
But the apparent hostility towards Palin is strange. In one way, you don’t want her to help Perry because Perry is not a good conservative, but then you don’t want her there simply because it would be meddling in Texas.
I’m not understanding what your specific hostility is towards her. Would it be OK if an outsider like Palin endorsed Medina? Or, simply don’t get involved? I sense you are for her not getting involved.
You are not going to convince me of the viability of Medina by going medieval and spouting off.
If she’s the REAL conservative there, communicate it and persuade. But you won’t persuade by the tactics you are using now.
Given the Lone Star state’s streak of independence, have you considered or are you already focusing more blog time and efforts with Texas-focused websites?
20-20,
I feel a whompin’ coming on…
So then why did you pull the insult of “When the DailyKOS supports Perry, you’ll support Medina?!”
Don’t even answer. Was that a little Indian trick?
I just told you what Perry is and I just told you that Medina is about to viral here. The campaigns haven’t even gotten going yet for Armey and others to throw support. What the hell does that have anything to do with what I said, anyway?
There is no hostility towards her, now, as it stands. I like her as much as you do, but I don’t kiss butt - ever in any case and doubly so if she makes a stupid judgment call and insults us Texans by supporting Perry.
She can come and support Medina anytime, just don’t insult our intelligence by supporting Perry!
Enough said.
If Sarah makes a bad judgment and supports Perry, she is toast politically and you and the country might as well go back to medieval times.
First, I have to get you to stop insulting us Texans, and then perhaps you can actually listen and educate yourself.
I simply asked you in a nice way to do me a favor and you responded with an insult of injecting the DailyKOS and you wonder why I ripped into you with convincing invective?!
Geez… you better learn how NOT to insult a Texan!! We fight for keeps here, unlike the eastern beltway mush heads!!
Yes, indeed. That’s why I have on some days been absent here. I have made several presentations on specific local issues and I am heavily involved with the Tea Party movement and I have as a result, no life… other than work and politics, work and politics, work and politics.
Do you have any other questions?
If you do I may not respond until later, because I have got to right now…. get productive for another presentation and local issues campaign coming up.
Cheers.
Mad Dog,
Regarding my statement “When the DailyKOS supports Perry, I’ll support Medina?!” was meant to make it clear that Perry, as moderate as you think he is, he is not Dede Scozzafava and not even close. That was my point, and you didn’t pick up on it. Fine.
Regarding: “There is no hostility towards her, now, as it stands. I like her as much as you do, but I don’t kiss butt - ever in any case and doubly so if she makes a stupid judgment call and insults us Texans by supporting Perry.”
Perry may try to get Sarah down to Texas to support him or at least endorse him if he asks, which I believe he has already mentioned it. If so, and he is doing his schmooze, then Sarah may see through it and not help him. Frankly, I couldn’t give her advice on that race because Medina is new to me. I have not been following that race much. My impression of Perry is that he is Bush-like but not as RINO as Hutchison. If Medina is the rising conservative star, I would hope that if Medina asks Sarah for help, Sarah will have to decide. I think Sarah would respect Armey’s knowledge of Texas politics and it could come down to a recommendation from somebody else in Texas and not a knee-jerk reaction to support Perry. Sarah is pretty smart. Based on what you’re telling me, she should think twice before supporting him.
I’ll need to read more info. on Medina. Perry HAS been governor for quite awhile. New blood argument even without the conservative credentials.
Also, I don’t insult Texans. I don’t know where you got that info. I’m not the one who is pushing Sarah to visit Perry. I have said that she probably will campaign for him though. I have not done much commenting on that race.
All you had to say Mad Dog was this:
“Hey, check out the rising conservative star in Texas named Medina.”
That’s all you had to do. Then when I get a chance along with others, we study her.
That’s a whole lot easier than all this back and forth scrapping.
Right now though, I support Sarah and strongly until another champion replaces her, and I’ll do it moving horse to horse without touching the ground.
Let’s hope Medina is another brave fearless conservative or libertarian gem with a bright future in the GOP or maybe a different party like Hoffman.
No problem, Sapwolf.
What happens in Texas STAYS in Texas.
It is not a bellwether for the rest of the nation. See Barack Hussein Obama’s election for more information.
I live in Pennsylvania, and I respect what happens in Texas. Texas would take a jerk like Jack Murtha and toss him in a horse trough.
Considering that you are leaving the country, Miles Rost, and the flags of despair that you have thrown out multitudes of times, you sorta fit in with the story of Gideon in the Bible….culling the first batch of warriers with the phrase: “If you are afraid, you can go home”.
For you Miles, if you are afraid (which we know you are) you can go overseas and hide from the battle.
That’s fine, because when you sneak back in here, there’ll still be a country waiting for you that is the world’s last best hope, thanks to a culled group of fearless fighters.
Consider yourself welcome to come back when the battle is over, because we do it for others who will not fight and for our future generations who as of yet do not exist!
Mad Dog:
You may want to think a little more about what you have said, and understand that there may be something a lot larger at work in regards to my moving to South Korea.
I don’t have an allegiance to America. I have an allegiance to Christ. I am being sent to South Korea to help in the furtherance of education and the equipping of missionaries as well. That is the role that I have been given in life, and it is one that I refuse to deny.
So, go ahead and call me a “coward”. You’ll have to recount that statement when your time comes.
Ahem, (clearing the throat), I am an unabashed Sarah Palin supporter, and I trust her political instincts. I am delighted to see she came out and endorsed Hoffman.
To Newt, screw you and the Washington establishment.
For Mad Dog, My sister lives in San Antonio, and I have been to Texas many times. I pray and hope the truth comes out and the candidate that BEST represents our views and interests is elected in the Primary.
This is great news. Also to the mean poster above. Rick perry seems to be a good guy. Also any friend of sarah is a friend of mine. Plus i used to live in texas and my mom and grandmom god bless their souls. They ran the polls in corpus christi so i do know texas politics.
Chill out.

Well fine, Sapwolf, if you cannot convey a single message - because of your predetermined bias - to Sarah, then I’ll do it myself! Just don’t bitch at me when we true conservatives destroy Sarah for her lack of judgment!

Don’t fuck with Texas!
You got that kemosabe?!

====================================
What part of your post reflects “true conservatism”?
When you insult Sarah, you insult Alaska. Remember, Alaska is a lot bigger than Texas. But I admire some Texan’s fortitude. Some, unlike yourself, are “true conservatives” and like Alaskans, are independent and of the Last Frontier mindset.
Go Rick Perry!!!
