I’ve had my doubts about Mr. Paladino for a while, but after hearing him on a teleconference townhall meeting today. I LOVE THIS MAN. He is us. He is straightforward, outspoken (which has gotten him in hot water) and a true conservative. I have never in my lifetime been excited about living in New York State. Often I have wondered why my family decided to move to New York State. . . Dutch settlers in the late 1600’s. . . owned lots of property.
Regarding the racist email. It seems early on in his campaign Paladino received an Obama cartoon or anti-Obama comments and forwarded them to his email list. (I believe that was the story out at the time. . . not 100% sure.) But, if it was really important and could have hurt his campaign, everyone would know exactly what was in the email. His emails, like Palin’s emails were hacked.
Paladino has given tons of money to a Christian soup kitchen (St. Luke’s in Buffalo) for over 10 years. He also employees over 400 people both black and white. The man is not racist.
Do your family/friends/neighbors feel the same as you do about Paladino?
Yeah, same here ~ 1600s but not Dutch at all, well, some of ‘em were probably there in the 1300s in fact (presuming the ones from the 1600s had brides) ~ they started leaving in 1700s ~ you had your chance eh.
