No. No more northeastern RINO’s
No, no, a thousand times NO!
This is actually a positive development.. remember how the conservative representation in the 2012 primaries was watered down by an overabundance on the stage? Let the RINOs suffer that circumstance in 2016.
Who?
This is excellent!! Flood the pool with RINOs and let a conservative win the primaries.
I love it — for once we have a shot at having a primary with one conservative and 5-6 RINO candidates to split the RINO vote.
Works for me. I hope Ted Cruz announces early and that all conservatives get behind him in the primaries.
Rick Santorum can go screw.
They’re throwing them up against the wall to see if any of them stick.....kind of like other items of a prostitute!!
Christie/Pataki 2016 !!!!
They’d be great on the Democrat ticket.
Great, another unelectable RINO. Is Harold Stassen really dead?
Did someone leave a gate open at the Bronx zoo? There are a bunch of rinos on the loose..............
He leaks that he's "thinking of running" so somebody in his unofficial employ can set up another "Pataki Exploratory Committee" and legally accept contributions. It's a way for Pataki to legally sell his influence with NY State and National government and GOP officials.
After a year and a half of collecting money, he "decides" that he's not going to run, then he can convert the donations to his exploratory committee into a political action slush fund, which he can use to take action on the promises he made to the donors.
For a moderate donation to the Pataki exploratory committee, donors can gain access to the political types who can steer hundreds of thousands in tax and regulatory breaks their way.
And it's all perfectly legal, because the politicians write the laws.
I have this hope that we avoid the 2012 pattern where, from month to month, a different candidate led until primary voters (and the establishment) finally settled on.. the “moderate.”
You can bet that the opponents are going to be lined-up behind The Beast early, and they’ll be standing on the sidelines hoping that the GOP primaries are one big entertaining food fight. With this in mind, lining-up behind Cruz sounds like a solid idea.
The more Rinos the better. Let them play the vote-splitting suicide game conservatives have played the past two Republican presidential primaries.
Unfortunately, unless something changes, we’ll probably have six or more candidates who will be considered conservative.
uh, no.
Why not let Jodi Rell announce her candidacy for President. Let’s have another RINO run..
Oh joy.
Pataki Flashback:
Governor George E. Pataki today signed into law legislation he proposed to allow undocumented immigrants attending the City University of New York (CUNY) and the State University of New York (SUNY) to be charged the State resident tuition level.
“New York has been a beacon of freedom and opportunity for generations, and those who have come to our shores have made tremendous contributions to our State and Nation,” Governor Pataki said. “This legislation reinforces New York’s proud legacy as a bastion of hope and opportunity by ensuring access to a high-quality, affordable higher education for hard-working immigrants.”
