Doug Hoffman Did It – We Can Too
Fellow Tea Party members have you heard? Doug Hoffman, in the 23rd Congressional District in New York just showed us here in the 6th Congressional district in Michigan that it is possible. Hoffman ran as a conservative independent against the more liberal DeeDee Scozzafava who was the pick of local Republican Party leaders and prominent Washington insiders like Newt Gingrich.
Doug Hoffman bucked the Republican Party. He stuck to his values and his principles, and by doing so he gained the respect and support of conservatives across the country who are looking for leadership. When Fox News reported on his campaign, I am proud to say that Tea Party groups across the country quickly rallied to his help his campaign. His fight against the “clueless” Republican Party leadership even gained the support of prominent conservative leaders like Sarah Palin and Fred Thompson. Finally, when it became apparent she could not win, Scozzafava's team pulled the plug on her campaign.
Doug Hoffman showed us we can do it. We really can dump “Frat-boy Freddie Upton”, the clueless R.I.N.O. congressman that local Republican Party insiders tell us we have to support – because he has Whirlpool family money.
We really can revolt against this arrogant elitist who voted to stab pour troops in the back and cut and run in Iraq. We can replace this clueless big spender who supported among other things the Wall Street bail out and the “Cash for Clunkers” bill that did nothing but pile billions of dollars of further debt on our nations economy.
Think about it for a minute. Frat-boy Freddie has never held a real job. His Whirlpool family money bought his congressional seat for him when he got out of college and he rode Ronald Reagan’s coat tails to victory. He is the typical country club Republican who knows more about Washington cocktail parties than what his 20 years of big spending in Washington has done to the lives of Michigan residents.
Doug Hoffman did it – We can too. South West Michigan Tea Party Patriots, let’s find a good, solid conservative with family values to represent the 6th congressional district in Washington.
Let’s send a message to the dry-rot in our own local Republican Party that they can’t take our votes for granted.

Doug Hoffman is a Republican ,he was forced to run as an Independent as there was no run off. I am however happy to see that Scozzafava's team pulled the plug on her campaign.

You are right. Doug Hoffman would have won the run-off election if there had been one, but the party insiders chose to back the more liberal Scozzafava instead. Doug Hoffman then ran as an independent against her which infuriated the party bosses. They wanted their pick even though she was much more liberal than her district's voters. She was a good "party person" and that was all they were interested in. They wanted the "R" behind her name in congress regardless of how she would actually vote on issues like Card Check, Abortion, Cap and Tax, etc,.
That is EXACTLY what we have here in the 6th. A safe "R" behind Upton's name, but instead of being conservative and voting with conviction and looking out for American values he voted to override President Bush's veto of the SCHIP bill which expanded government takeover of medical care, he voted with the Democrats to cut and run in Iraq when Bush sent more troops in the surge so that we could actually win the war, and he just voted for the Hate crimes legislation which gives special federal protection to certain minorities, taking away more states rights and individual liberties.
We could go down the list. But supporting Frat-boy Freddie is just another version of "Cash for Clunkers", 20 years in congress – he’s the problem – not the answer.

I agree with you, I feel we need to just clean house all the way around. Clean out the Frat-Boys and the RINO'S.

Frat-boy freddie Upton has been in the House from the 6th Congressional District in Michigan for over 20 years and nobody knows him or cares. He is not a real leader in the House and is never invited to appear on any of the Sunday talk shows because he is a blithering idiot with nothing to say except stupid sound bites from his campaign literature that somebody has written for him.
By contrast, Michele Bachman in the 6th congressional District in Minnesota is a bright conservative leader that is taking Washington by storm. She is an exciting and dynamic leader. Wonder if we can trade.
