Hoffman: I think you’ll see more average people like me running for office
posted at 10:05 pm on November 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
The money part comes at 1:28. A fine populist sentiment. And, just maybe, a Gingrichian nightmare waiting to happen.
In fairness, he did also say this in an unaired part of the video:
Hoffman called Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee who dropped out of the race over the weekend, an “ultra-liberal” – but denied the GOP is at war with itself, or that the race offer a glimpse what’s to come in next fall’s midterm elections.
There is room for moderates in the GOP, said Hoffman. “I think this was a unique situation where the candidate happened to be more Democrat than Republican,” he told CNN’s Mary Snow and Shirley Zilberstein. “And basically, I was fighting to stand up for the values and ideals of the Republican Party.”
If it’s a “unique situation,” why forecast primary or third-party challenges from average joes elsewhere? Hmmm. Below the Hoffman clip you’ll find today’s monologue from Beck. Compare and contrast his point with 8:20 left about choosing between the progressive and the Marxist progressive with Limbaugh’s point about voting for McCain here.

Popcorn time!
JeffinOrlando on November 2, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I would hope that there are more primary challenges.

Wait a tickaroo,I thought the “Darling of the Party” was
former Governor Sarah Palin!
Me not stupid,those trickery and clever Liberal pundits think I’m gonna buy that line!
And,why are the Leftys trying to femenize Hoffman!!
Darling my *ss!!Ugharoo.

Every situation is a unique situation, and many unique situations could motivate an average joe to run. It does not mean that only Hoffman’s unique situation could motivate an average joe to run. Are you really this dense?
Ronnie on November 2, 2009 at 10:16 PM
I think Hoffman should stay on point until after the election…
… then, when he wins, he can address Newt and the boys in blue, by breaking out the surgical gloves, the gallon jar of mayonnaise, striping down to his birthday suit, and pressing “play” on his new DVD, “How to fornicate a RINO!”
Seven Percent Solution on November 2, 2009 at 10:16 PM
A faux Republican, er Democrat, er? has more Democrat principles than the RNC has conservative?

Conservative is not a bad word in my house.

What is moderate supporting abortion, and what rights do gays lack? Being pro choice may couch some peoples conscience but being pro abortion is like advocating the killing of babies.

Paging Joe the Plumber, paging Mr. Joe…
Orange Doorhinge on November 2, 2009 at 10:22 PM
I think he just means that more conservatives are going to be challenging Establishment-blessed “moderates”. I still can’t get over David Broooks saying that Scozzafava was something like “dead-perfect in the center”.
ddrintn on November 2, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Interesting. Chris Christie has jumped above 50% on Intrade, and Corzine has dropped 16% (down to 46%).
Enoxo on November 2, 2009 at 10:25 PM
The “unique situation” was having a more democrat than Republican as the Republican nominee, which was totally out of order, but that does not mean that there can only be challenges to a more democrat than Republican. There can also be challenges to “moderates” and for that matter to “conservatives”. Incumbents and RNC favorites do not have any divine right of kings.
MB4 on November 2, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Sorry to disagree, Mr. Hoffman.
I didn’t donate $25 to your campaign because you represented a “unique situation”.
Kissing the Party ring after stepping out as a Conservative isn’t going to cut it.
Why do they do this?
This is like Sarah Palin proclaiming Boehner’s statement on health care as a “game changer”. It wasn’t.
Being bold seems to be always followed by reverting to form with these Republicans. When are they going to get it?
David2.0 on November 2, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Notice the media fails to pick up this story line??
…Republican endorses Democrat, well thats just makes since.. What’s wrong with that? Don’t lose site of the “extremist fringe” = “Conservative” drum we are beating. /sarc

fourdeucer on November 2, 2009 at 10:36 PM
I’m sorry, perhaps way off topic, perhaps not.
I was searching for a quote in a letter to a friend (recently a citizen) and was struck by the profundity of, and relation to, where we and like-minded find our selves today. It strikes a chord I think struck our forefathers 240 odd years ago, and I just wished to share it with….
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers…
WESTMORELAND. O that we now had here
But one ten thousand of those men in England
That do no work to-day!
KING. What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian.’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

I haven’t forgotten. I hope Hoffman wins. This sh*t’s getting old.
Grow Fins on November 2, 2009 at 10:40 PM
There is definitely room for moderate republicans in my opinion. The problem is that all to often a what people call a moderate republican is actually a lefty. This is like putting a D after Mark Levin’s name and then trying to call him a moderate democrat. If democrats then reject Mark it wouldn’t mean there is no room in the democrat party for moderates. It’s all a game of labels and their definition. And it seems like the talking heads are going into overtime playing this game.
Is a libertarian a “moderate republican?” On paper I definitely identify as a libertarian more than anything. I’ve just wondered if that actually makes me a moderate republican.
I guess a better question would be: What the hell IS a moderate republican exactly?
Ampersand on November 2, 2009 at 10:40 PM
I am guessing you are not walking so well right now. Obama has not exactly filled your wish list either. He is trying, but who seems to be the ones in the way, oh yes, it is actually Democrats blocking these bills. You do have a majority, last I checked.

Who says the ordinary joes won’t run within the party? I think you will see more primary challenges than in the past. I think there are 7 or 8 republicans already in the process of campaigning for the open 12th house seat in Florida. I expect there will be more before it is all said and done.
TKSnider on November 2, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Then leave now, you worthless cretin.
MadisonConservative on November 2, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Hoffman was on Glenn Beck’s radio show this AM. Beck kept prodding to assert himself with fundamental conservative questions (i.e. would you have voted for the stimulus – he said no). But you can tell that Hoffman is still a bit squishy.
It seems that being conservative (to an elected official) means they have to hide their beliefs for fear of being branded a right wing extremist (and losing their meal ticket).
Conservatism is on the rise, but it will take a continuous effort to keep the movement going.
The elections tomorrow are an excellent catalyst to increase the momentum.

Archimedes on November 2, 2009 at 10:51 PM
People on our side of the debate better wake up to this, and quick. What’s going on here is classic Lakoff (and yes, you need to read him just like you need to read Alinsky) — the “progressives” are reframing the ideological spectrum such that people like Scozza are “middle of the road”, “centrist”, and “moderate”. While all of *you* people are the lunatic right-wing fringe.
You see, it’s become the default, normative position to be pro-Union, pro-trillion dollar entitlements, pro-abortion rights, etc… and anything contrary to that is “extremist”.

It has to be targeting and not half hearted. The idjit who jumped in against Christie makes my blood boil, but Hoffman did the right thing by runnning the GOP backroom choice of a liberal out of town.

Try telling that stuff about being “inflexible towards and intolerant of other opinions” to Joe Lieberman.
Left Coast Right Mind on November 2, 2009 at 10:54 PM
Do you believe or trust in anything?
I don’t even think you have confidence in your own abilities.
Most liberals prefer to believe in the government as a paternal entity – at least that’s what I see.
Conservatives believe and trust in each other – why wait for the government to do something that conservatives can do faster, better, and cheaper?
So yes, I trust and hope and work towards a better life for myself and my fellow Americans.
Strange, though, that I don’t perceive myself as pathetic.

Let’s get him elected first before that becomes a worry. He still needs a bunch of R’s to turn up at the polls tomorrow, and some of those R’s were supporting Scozza. Let him be Mr. ‘I’m a Republican’ so he can get elected, and then we’ll see if he becomes SOS.
joejm65 on November 2, 2009 at 10:56 PM
I see it happening all the time and even get confronted with it. Funny, when I ask them what is extreme about fiscal responsibility and smaller government which = more money for them to decide how to spend personally, crickets……..
bluemarlin on November 2, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Hoffman makes a good point with the ‘locality’ argument. He is a political outsider and I really wouldn’t expect him to have much idea about political races in other portions of the country – and Scozzafava was more liberal than your typical ‘RINO’ (a label that is applied all too freely and frequently).
He probably senses there is something larger brewing across the country but sees the need to keep this about his constituency.
The GOP is getting a gift here that they should be gleefully embracing. They are also going to have to give Sarah some prime speaking time and greater influence within the party.
All the abuse she has taken and she remains a hugely influential figure from a Facebook page. The attacks have only made her stronger and her voice that much louder.
She is strong, a fighter, and a leader. Deal with it, haters.

My guess is he knows that it is larger, he knows where the contributions originated. I would love to know how much came from outside NY 23. I donated to him before Palin endorsed and I am sure many others did as well. She obviously brought the punch he needed but I think he was already getting a fair amount of support.
bluemarlin on November 2, 2009 at 11:02 PM
In all of tomorrow’s elections the main difference will be TURN OUT. If there is an election of ANY sort in your district, turn out. STOP the spending, STOP the taxing, and fire the Democrats at every level of government. Polling numbers only work when everyone polled votes. If we overwhelm them in votes cast, the polling numbers look silly.

Wow, the blogs are overwhelmed with trolls the past few days. And, they’re getting more and more desperate. Something has them skeered.

It is the most informative thing to watch–all these libs when they come into contact with real life and simple survival, they always revert to form: if they are committed to their silly shxt, then they keep on preaching; if they are ambivalent, then they ask questions and attempt to learn. It is not hard to differentiate between the two types. Remember, people, that some of these folks we are talking to are not our enemies and are just trying to inform themselves.
It’s hard to be nice all of the time, but every now and then, it’s worth it.
For all of you undecided folks; I am always right. The end.

Intolerance lies at the heart of liberals. It exists, to the extent that it can be attributed to conservatives at all, to some fringe nuts. I wouldn’t dine with a Bircher. Obama sat in the pews of Wright’s church for 20 years, and he wasted $161 million with Ayers in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
Look at the stalking about which George Will wrote in a recent column. Libs are using FOIA requests to persecute those who sign petitions regarding referenda.
They’re despicable.
BuckeyeSam on November 2, 2009 at 11:42 PM
Hoffman is an accountant, not a politician. Expecting him to split political hairs in interviews with the deftness of a veteran of the campaign trenches is missing the point.

The Bull Moose Party was a one-man-band centered around a Teddy Roosevelt of 1912 who had melted into a socio-progressive, pro-union social/economic populist. He posited banning the game of football due to the violence and trended more against the GOP and for the Democrat Party in his spoiler run of 1912.
I loved Teddy ’01-08′. 1912? He’s a McCain light.
We don’t need a Bull Moose candidate. We need a Reaganite candidate who cuts/kills/slashes government and spending and takes no cr@p on foreign relations.

When Scozzy became the “moderate” candidate…..that offended the Hell out of me.
Pro-Union
Pro-Abortion on demand at public cost
Pro-Acorn
Moderate? Hell!
In a time where the government is failing and flailing, unions are failing and flailing, and liberal causes are failing and flailing……………you don’t line-up with them and be a “moderate.”
A real moderate is one who will back away from the liberal left and the conservative right……….standing squarely in the middle……..and waiting for the voting public to send the answer. We don’t have those anymore.
I can accept a true, genuine person who considers themself a moderate who then follows the will of their district or state…………….I will not accept a “moderate” who runs as such and then worries about the media coverage or financial implications of their vote.
Scuzzy-Wuzzy is and was a Democrat who fooled, easily, the local GOP but one who wasn’t able to fool the populace.
Hoffman’s a NY Conservative? Who cares? He canvasses with the real GOP and votes so.
Votes are what count………….not party.

Hoffman and Palin represent what the Founders had in mind when designing our political experiment in representative democracy. The power of government should come from the people governed, not a permanent oligarchy of professional politicians. The citizen-patriot chosen by and representing peers should determine the direction of the government. Government’s powers are limited by the Constitution, much to the dismay of too many in the the current ruling class.
