GOP candidate for NY Governor is a scumbag

And Cuomo isn't?!

Apparently some prefer the continuation of taxing and spending the state to death with yet more of the same.

As my wise old mommy said in 1964.... "iF you've got a choice between a crook and a sonofabitz. Take the crook."

I do not like Cuomo The Younger. He is not his daddy, who had his own feet of clay, but who could pause long enough from sticking his nose in the public trough to make some great, even inspirational, speeches.

But, he should win on the basis of ABP,... Anyone But Paladdino. Carl's the kind of guy who'd eat at the Gramercy Diner and all the pickpockets and bookies would move away from him at the counter, sort of the Group W Bench treatment.
 
If you repeatedly reward and re-elect politicians that repeatedly raise taxes and government spending, what do you expect to get?

Like California, like Michigan, New York is dying because the good tax-paying citizens are being strangled.

No, they're not. That's the mantra of the neo-cons and tea party... or more accurately, the predecessors to the tea party. That old "tax-and-spend liberal boogie men" thing is big with Rush but it's nonsense. I don't supposed we have to remind you under which POTUS was the last time we had a surplus?

They're being strangled in NY by the tax-dodging loophole-loving upper classes. If you want a crisis as bad as California in New York, then let the out sourcers and budget-trimmers have control.

Not that it matters, Carl's not going to win and if he did, he'd be cozying up to the PTB in a heartbeat. He's all talk. A demagogue who's enjoying his fifteen minutes of fame.

I'll see your 30 and raise you five.

I'm a NYC resident, officially. A taxpayer and homeowner. I vote by absentee ballot. And "They" doesn't include me and my family, none of whom would vote for the likes of hate-mongering Carl. Are New Yorkers heavily taxed? Yes. Is it unreasonable? Not necessarily. If you look at the "success" of the Tax Revolt in several states, I'd rather have the Empire State chugging along.

So my 35 years wins by anecdote! Yeah! It's settled, then. Carl's a Scumbag and you can all go home.
 
Here's a tip for the Tea Party: If you really want to oust the current regime, try finding candidates who aren't total maniacs, and are maybe even qualified to hold public office. That way, conversations like "Well, he may be vile and despicable, but at least he's different!" will become unnecessary.
 
I honestly believe Paladino is a very dangerous man. He is truly the George Wallace of New York.

Flame-throwing Republican Carl Paladino blasted gays Sunday - saying there is "nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual."​

"I don't want [children] brainwashed into thinking homosexuality is an equal valid and successful option," Paladino said during a visit with Orthodox Jewish leaders in Brooklyn's Williamsburg.​

I didn't march in the Gay Pride parade this year. My opponent did. There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual. That's not how God created us, and that's not the example that we should be showing our children - and certainly not in our schools," Paladino said.​

He went on to zing Cuomo for allowing his daughters to also march in the gay parade.
"My opponent took his daughters to march in a homosexual parade," Paladino scoffed.​

Paladino....is clearly a very sick and evil man.​

Unless someone wants to post examples of the Tea Party disavowing this guy, I think we have our proof that they are an organization quite comfortable with blatant bigotry.
 
I really....hate this guy.

Its very sad that he is running for Governor in the great state of NY. I thought we were better than this. :(
 
I saw the ignorant goon on GMA this morning, being interviewed by the hapless George Stephanopoulos. He was talking his gay nephew (ie., "some of my best friends are..."), and how disgusted he was at what he saw when he stumbled on a gay parade once in Toronto and how the only thing he opposes is gay marriage, and so on. What an ass.

I see he found a receptive audience among the black-hatted troglodytes yesterday. They applauded readily.

Paladino today calls New York State Assembly Speaker, Sheldon Silver, a "criminal".

Months ago, he called him "the anti-Christ" and said the speaker deserves to paraded in a Roman cage on his way to Attica.

God..this guy is such an ###hole.

It turns out he was 100% correct.

Sheldon Silver convicted on all counts:
Sheldon Silver, who held a seemingly intractable grip on power for decades as one of the most feared politicians in New York State, was found guilty on Monday of federal corruption charges, ending a trial that was the capstone of the government’s efforts to expose the seamy culture of influence-peddling in Albany.

The verdict was a quick and unceremonious end for Mr. Silver, who, during his more than two decades as the State Assembly speaker, displayed a Teflon-like quality in deflecting questions about his outside income as well as calls for his ouster.

Mr. Silver, 71, a Manhattan Democrat, was convicted on all seven counts against him. The charges of honest services fraud, extortion and money laundering stemmed from schemes by which he obtained nearly $4 million in exchange for using his position to help benefit a cancer researcher and two real estate developers.

It would be cool to parade him in a cage on his way to Attica!

And I hope the feds go after Illinois House Speaker/Dem leader Michael Madigan next!
