Look, the libertarians are going to hate this guy, but New York State is in such fiscal mess, we need a bull-in-the-china-shop candidate like Carl to go and wreck Albany.

There were a 100 reasons for me not to vote for this guy, but anyone willing to take on Albany deserves a shot, and anyone is better than little Andrew Cuomo, the "annointed one."

I look forward to a Paladino victory and my subsequent tax cut, and his slash and burn to the State government.

Libertarian Warren Redlich Holds Nose, Votes Lazio In GOP Primary »
By Celeste Katz

Warren Redlich, the Libertarian Party's candidate for governor, says the Republican gubernatorial primary stinks, but as the only elected Republican official running for governor, he'll "hold his nose" and go with Rick Lazio tomorrow.


Warren Redlich
."I'm not a fan of Lazio and of course I'll vote for myself and the Libertarian ticket in November, but Carl Paladino would be a disgrace to the Republican Party. His boorish extremism would help the Democrats in a number of close races, especially in the State Senate," said Redlich, who's a member of the Guilderland Town Board.

Redlich went off on Paladino on any number of fronts, from his past contributions to Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton to his association with consultant Roger Stone.

Atlhough both candidates have come out strongly on the issue of the proposed Park51 mosque and cultural center near Ground Zero, Redlich said he feels Paladino "took it to a much higher level of bigotry combined with violent rhetoric."

With Lazio and Paladino running so close in the latest polls (if they are to be believed, of course), who knows? Redlich's just might be the deciding vote.

Redlich better get out and about in NYS and start raising money, because Cuomo has $23M in the bank, and Paladino has committed to spending $7M (and he's worth about $150M), or else he's going to be a footnote in November.

That aside, if Redlich actually mounts a campaign more than just having a website and giving a speech or two, I'll vote for him too if he polls competitively.

Frankly I don't think Paladino will even poll competitively with Cuomo. The chances of a Cuomo losing in NYS are slim-to-none. However, I thought Lazio was going to blow Paladino out of the water and that turned out to be wrong.

Break out the popcorn, Paladino and Cuomo are going scorched earth in this race. It's going to be pure political theater.


BUFFALO — Fresh from having romped to a lopsided victory in the Republican primary for governor, Carl P. Paladino vowed Wednesday to attack Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo “like General Patton,” saying he would exploit Mr. Cuomo’s “immaturity” and his “ego.”

“We’re going to charge, charge, charge,” Mr. Paladino said in a wide-ranging 40-minute interview with The New York Times on Wednesday morning. “General Patton, when they told him to get up there to the bulge and bring his Third Army and help those soldiers up there — it didn’t matter who was in his way. He charged, charged, charged.”

This NeoCon is for stealing other people's land:


(from his website)

http://paladinoforthepeople.com/issuedetail.php?id=14


Carl's opinion on the Ground Zero Mosque is simple: NO.

The Ground Zero Mosque is an affront to the American people and an insult to the thousands who died there and the thousands of troops who have been killed and maimed in the ensuing wars.

Carl believes Ground Zero is much larger than the footprint of the Twin Towers. In fact, Ground Zero is the entire lower Manhattan district where the dust cloud fell. That cloud contained the remains of the many men and women murdered.

Carl doesn't view this as a religious issue. He sees it as all about ideology - an ideology of hate bent on the destruction of America. The developers of the Ground Zero Mosque are not moderate Muslims - they support Hamas and blame the United States for 9-11. Many moderate Muslims are as upset about the Ground Zero Mosque as non-Muslims.

Carl doesn't think we need to just investigate the funding behind the Mosque - that's equivocating. It doesn't matter who paid for it. When Carl is sworn in as Governor of New York, he will stop the Mosque that very day by any legal means necessary.

Eminent domain may help accomplish this, but not by taking the property. With limited eminent domain, the Ground Zero District can simply be declared a restricted area where insults to the 9-11 families may never be built.

Yes, it's quite Utilitarian, but this is a shot at saving the Titanic that is New York State. Andrew Cuomo, his opponent, will just sink the ship, and lock us all in the 3rd class.

We're trying to get 50,000 or more votes for the LP in NY in November, giving the Party permanent ballot status in the state.

Paladino wasted no time introducing New Yorkers to his hard-line politics, threatening government shutdowns if elected and telling one interviewer he opposed abortion even in cases of rape and incest. "The baby can be adopted," he told CNN's Rick Sanchez.

He said lawmakers will accept his proposed 20 percent cut to state spending or "accept the consequences."

"I'm telling them right now, up front, the government is coming down in size," Paladino said on Albany's WGDJ 1300-AM.

It is hard to believe he is sincere when I read things like this. Actions speak louder than words, although to make such strong statements that above post he looks promising.

http://www.paladino-ny.com/paladino-schumer.html

June 25, 2009 - Chuck Schumer announces his plan for a public option in federal health care.

June 30, 2009 - Carl Paladino gave $1000 to Chuck Schumer.

July 4, 2009 - Carl Paladino spoke at a Tea Party in Buffalo.

But that's not all. What other anti-Tea-Party candidates has Carl supported?

$4600 to Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential run, and $5100 to her Senate campaigns.

John Kerry ... Al Gore ... Louise Slaughter ... Eric Massa ...

$17,900 to Eliot Spitzer?

Carl was asked about his campaign contributions in a radio interview on July 21st

Here's the clip, and here's the whole Interview

Paladino completely ducks his Hillary contributions, and his answer about Schumer is phony.

He claims he got disgusted with Schumer over health care, but his $1000 contribution was 5 days after Schumer made his "public option" announcement.

From the June 1, 2008 Buffalo News: When asked which [politicians] he [Paladino] has respected the most, he cited the late Mayor Jimmy Griffin; former Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer (before his personal problems); former Council Member David P. Rutecki; Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds; Rep. Brian Higgins; and U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer.


At least Paladino is being specific about what he going to do. Cuomo issues list is various general statements about fixing NY. They lead to various PDFs that were written by a genius since they are many pages without saying anything, no substance behind them.

Redlich has a detailed list of what he will cut on his website and "fewer taxes" but could not find anything specifically about lowering property, school or the personal income tax. Property and school taxes are the worst offenders here.

Paladino Charges Albany Of Stinking Things Up

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP/WCBS 880) — Something stinks in about 200,000 mailboxes around New York — a flier from the new Republican nominee for governor.

A garbage-scented mailing by nominee Carl Paladino features the photos of seven Democrats, six of whom have been investigated and two who have resigned in scandal in the past four years.

Cuomo's for a spending freeze and streamlining government:

Quote:
Government in New York is too big, ineffective and expensive. We must enlist the best private sector minds to help overhaul our more than 1,000 state agencies, authorities and commissions and reduce their number by 20 percent. We must make it easier to consolidate or share services among our more than 10,000 local governments.

Also, I haven't heard Cuomo say that anywhere there's dust from the World Trade Center, mosques can't be built.

And you believe Andrew Cuomo???? Goodness, the last thing NY State needs right now is another Cuomo in the Governor's mansion.

Paladino mentioned that one of his turning points at divorcing himself from the democrats, was when he observed "Prince Andrew" showed up at an event...waited for the car door to be opened for him as opposed to opening it himself, and then waited for the door to be held for him before entering the building like the NYS Aristocracy he is.

Paladino swears to cut spending by 20%. He wants to roll back state laws restricting firearms ownership, empower state officials to enforce immigration laws, join the other states filing suit against Obamacare, slash state taxes and cut $20 billion from the Medicaid budget.

How could I not vote for that guy? :P

ALBANY - Stung by Carl Paladino's below-the-belt attacks, an angry Andrew Cuomo summoned his war council on Monday to figure out how to fight back against his slash-and-burn GOP rival.

"If a guy says you have no cojones, how do you punch him back, call him an a--hole?" the Democratic gubernatorial candidate fumed in a secret talk to his team, one insider said.

"We have all this stuff [on Paladino] and we're on the defensive," Cuomo groused, the insider added.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There has been a dramatic development in the race for New York governor.

A new poll has Republican Carl Paladino within striking distance of Democrat Andrew Cuomo as voters say they want to elect someone who will stop the circus in Albany.

Wednesday was supposed to be Cuomo’s day as he picked up the endorsement of New York City’s notoriously independent mayor, Michael Bloomberg, in the race for governor.

Well, as of yesterday, it looks like the LP will have one more vote. My father, who voted Republican every year from 1952-2006, is voting Libertarian for the second time, mostly because he thinks Paladino is "an obnoxious jerk." That may not be the best reason to vote Libertarian, but I'll take it.

He also said Paladino was a Democrat almost his entire life and he doesn't trust him because of that. I'm not sure if that's true.

Unfortunately, my mom will probably vote Dem like she always does. If I could convince her to vote Libertarian, it would be a freakin' miracle :)
