Gone Rogue: Sarah Palin Endorses Doug Hoffman in NY-23

Rarely do politicians endorse a candidate of another party against a candidate of their own.  Really, that’s too much to ask.  But it’s not too much to expect of Sarah Palin:

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.

Those are the words of Sarah Palin released tonight on Facebook.  Sarah has more spine than any national Republican politician.  Bar none.

The last member of New York’s Conservative Party to sit in the U.S. Congress was Bill Buckley’s brother, James, I believe.  Electing Doug Hoffman to the House would honor that great conservative family while giving the GOP a very strong signal:  Be Principled or Die.
