Fred Thompson Stars in Ad for Conservative House Candidate
Fred Thompson, the former senator and candidate for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, is upping the ante in the inner Republican party battle over the special election in New York's 23rd congressional district by starring in an ad for Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate. Here you go, Bill Quick, those dirty Pubs are rising up to support the true conservative, just as I said they should. No need for you Libertarians to soil your hands, we're taking care of this ourselves. As I said, special and primary elections are when you fight to get the right people in place, and general elections are when you hold off the Visigoths on the other side. Thompson, who first endorsed Hoffman last month, has recently been joined by Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in endorsing him over the Republican Party nominee, Republican State Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava. The election, which happens a week from today, is being held up as a case study of the current conflict within the Republican party. "Big government, high taxes, deficits, broken promises -- America is in trouble," Thompson says in the ad. "So when your grandchildren ask you why you didn't do something, be able to tell them that you voted for Doug Hoffman." Local Republican representatives chose to back Scozzafava for her political experience and commitment to family values, even though she goes against the party on Posted by: Fred 2009-10-28 |
