Glenn Beck vetted Doug Hoffman, the CONSERVATIVE Republican candidate who is running for a Congressional seat in New York State, on his radio talk show this morning. He stated that Newt Gingrich has teamed up with ACORN to support Dede Scozzafava, who is also supported by the Daily Koz and the Working Family Party. Her conservative voting record had a high score of 15 out of 100. Hoffman said that 46 Democrats had a more conservative score than she, who is pro union and pro card check, among other things. A New York State Assemblywoman for eleven years, she is a career politician. Hoffman said the Democratic Candidate, supported by SEIU, is no better. Bill Owens is heavily supported by the DNC and would most definitely be a Pelosi puppet.
In the beginning, Hoffman said he caught some flack from the Republican Party for throwing his hat into the ring, but now, he says, he is getting praise for standing up for what’s right. Scozzafava’s ratings are dropping like a rock, but his ratings are rising. Hoffman appears to embody what The People are looking for – a conservation individual, with no previous political experience, who had no desire to run for office until the candidate choices in his area left him no option. He said he was a common sense, Reagan Conservative who believes in less red tape, less government, less tax and will work to recover the freedoms that ‘We, The People’ have slowly lost due to Big Government legislation.
When asked about Healthcare, he said he would vote against every piece of Healthcare legislation currently in Congress and go after tort reform and [insurance] competition between the states. Regarding Congress’ purported 120 billion in Medicare and Medicaid fraud, Hoffman spoke like a true CPA, “Lets find it before we spend it – not spend it before we find it”. With respect to Cap and Trade, he is totally opposed as it represents more regulation, more red tape and more tax. Asked about amnesty, he said that he does not support it, but does feel the need for easier regulations for skilled professionals to come into the country legitimately to work so we know who is here and when they leave. When asked how do we get the illegals out, Hoffman faltered. He said that he had not really come up with a plan, but he felt there is no instant solution. He went on to say that we “have to find a way to keep people from sneaking across our borders”. At this moment, Beck offered a possible solution for his consideration. “Provide an incentive by going after those employers who hire illegals”, Beck said. “If the jobs dry up - they go home. ENFORCE THE LAW!” It is refreshing to listen to a ‘regular joe’ who is not ready with all the glib answers.
Doug Hoffman who, at the age of 27, was the CFO for the Lake Placid Olympics and made 150 million dollars for the area [Lake Placid Olympics was where the historic game took place whereby the U.S. Hockey Team won against Russia for the Gold], stated that he has a wife of thirty-six years with three grown children and four grandchildren. He proudly pointed out that he is also a member of the 912 Project. Beck asked him if there was anything of which he was personally afraid. Hoffman, not sure how to respond, prompted Beck to explain that in the next thirteen days, his opponents are going to go after him with everything they got. Will he be able to stand up to it? The Army Vet said that he was able to take on the Olympic challenge, he can handle it this one.
With respect to campaign donations, Hoffman told Beck, “Well, that is the deal.” He is getting money from all around the country but could use more help. For those who can, please go to www.doughoffmanforcongress.com and donate. Hoffman will be appearing on the Glenn Beck television show for further vetting.
