The Capitol reports that billionaire, state Independence Party founder and three-time failed gubernatorial candidate B. Thomas Golisano is preparing to inject himself into New York politics again by spending $1 million via a new PAC to support state Senate candidates.
Democratic state Senate candidates, that is.
This is a big switch for Golisano, who changed his enrollment to the GOP while considering a fourth gubernatorial run in 2006 (largely fueled by his intense dislike for Eliot Spitzer).
After he opted not to challenge Spitzer, Golisano started hanging out with then-Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno and talking about the importance of maintaining a balance in state government. He endorsed two incumbent Republican state senators, including Mary Lou Rath, who is retiring this year, and Dale Volker.
Soros Jr. Ping.
Goli$ano is a weasely little scumbag. The GOP controlled Senate is the last bulwark against the total Stalinist hijacking of NY state by the rodentry.
This should come as no surprise. He is a capitalist and, more importantly, an opportunist. There is no doubt in my mind that the Dems are going to steamroll in NY. The Republican party has all but melted into the woodwork here. Golisano needs politicians on his side, and what better way than to support the winners.
No, he needs to sit in his palace with his $1000 a night call girls and 10 TVs and stop screwing the public.
These scum like him and Soros, they could sit on the beach all day but no, political life is an amusement to them and they don't care that ordinary folks get burned.
Funny how campaign finance "reform" doesn't apply to these douches.
