Gov. Cuomo to conservatives: Leave NY!
The New York Post ^ | January 18, 2014 | Aaron Short

Gov. Cuomo has a message for conservative Republicans — you don’t belong in New York.

Cuomo said Friday that members of the GOP with “extreme” views are creating an identity crisis for their party and represent a bigger worry than Democrats such as himself.

“Their problem isn’t me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves,” the governor said on Albany’s The Capitol Pressroom radio show.

“Who are they? Right to life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay — if that’s who they are, they have no place in the state of New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”

He added that moderate Republicans, such as those in the state Senate, “have a place in their state.”

Cuomo hammered Republican activists whose views he said were out of step with the majority of New Yorkers and said the party has to back moderates to have any hope of winning seats in this fall’s elections.

“You have a schism within the Republican Party,” Cuomo observed. “They’re searching to define their soul. That’s what’s going on . . . It’s a mirror of what’s going on in Washington.”(continued)

Imagine for a moment that Gov Sarah Palin told liberals to leave Alaska. Can anyone imagine the fury and screaming in the media? OMG!!! Yet not a peep when its the other way around. So damned typical.

Cuomo is a problem and always has been. Just like his old man.

Sure... whatever you say Andrew “Bozo the Clown” Cuomo.

You and your Marxist slime-balls are continually moving the ideological center further left... which makes our founding fathers out to be far right radical extremist. So by embracing our founding fathers principles and ideals also makes us far-right radical extremists.

Let civil war II begin!

As conservatives already have all the incentive they need to move out of places like New York, and as demographic maps show this already happening, I'm sure it won't be long before Cuomo gets his wish, and all the income-producing, community-maintaining, conservative folks are gone, and all that's left behind is what we now see roaming the streets of Detriot.

I'm still here, in NYC no less, but I'm can't wait for the first opportunity to pack up and go somewhere else!

No mo Cuo mo...

What god died and made him mayor...

Oh yeah, his dad.

It sure must be nice not to have to do a days work in your life, and lord it over everyone else as if you had clue one.

He Cuomo, I hear they’re looking for new management in Hell. I’m guessing that’s one place you couldn’t F up any worse than it already is. That would be an improvement.

Go directly there! Don’t pass go, and don’t collect $200 dollars.

He’s an arrogant psychopath like his old man.

He just attacked his own church, too. Wonder how long he’ll get away with it, like Pelosi, Kerry, Biden, Sebelius, and the rest?

The Unsafe Act among other things is backfiring on him big time. He’s basically got upstate NY entirely pissed at him.

So he’s flailing around for a boogeyman.

I think most have already left. Those conservatives left behind are only there because of/for:

1. family commitments
OR
2. a high paying job
OR
3. a medical condition makes them un-mobile or their house is unsellable.

Other than that, I got nothing.

Let HIM, the bumbling fool libtard leave instead. All he’s been doing is contributing to the moral, fiscal, and safety decay of NY. How DARE he dictate who can live in NY? Has his little libtard brain gotten all swollen up on hubris?
