Carl Paladino pulls no punches: Pataki's a 'degenerate idiot,'...
NYDaily News ^ | September 16th 2010 | Douglas Feiden

Here was Carl Paladino, marching around the state, promising bloody insurrection in Albany - and calling himself heir to the heroic Americans who killed Nazis and Taliban.

"I'm the wartime leader," he recently told one hooting, hollering Tea Party crowd in this decaying Rust Belt city. "I'm the Gen. Patton, the Tommy Franks, the Gen. Schwarzkopf . . ."

Before he trounced Rick Lazio to become the GOP's candidate of choice for governor in Tuesday's primary, the Daily News went behind the scenes with the mad-as-hell multimillionaire.

As a lifelong Buffalonian, we know Paladino quite well. He says what he believes, and if you don’t like it, tough Obama. Its a classic case of a political outsider vs the political entitlement class. Andrew Cuomo really doesn’t have a clue how deal with him. He is Buffalo through and through. We drink cheap beer and don’t put on airs to impress people.

A bit of crazy sounds really good this election cycle! Time to quit holding it in and go for realism. This alone ought to scare the hell out of New Yorkers...heh.

an angry Andrew Cuomo summoned his war council on Monday to figure out how to fight back

I wonder what author Diana West would have to say about Coumo's complete surrender to Collectivism:A New Yorker that has to convene a committee to help him decide how to respond to a dis. I thought Governor implied the executive branch.

Why not? Family in NYS, tell me how Pataki went back on his promise to fight rent-control in NYC, and that he forced upstate counties to help pay for his socialist Medicaid programs.

They only way to “fight” rent control is to make EVERY SINGLE BUILDING IN THE STATE rent controlled................

Pataki leaned RINO. In New York, you take RINO. RINO is as right as you get. But, in the end to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, RINO is a RINO is a RINO. Carl was just “articulating” that a RINO will not fix New York’s problems.

This guy is a dose of exactly what New York needs. Only strong medicine is going to turn this state around.

Ha! I’ve *heard* you guys who drink that cheap beer “putting on airs”... I’ve smelled it too. Phew. :-)

That said, I hope your man beats the hell out of Cuomo!
