Do I see a pattern here?
NY(D) Governor doesnt need legislators. Senate doesnt need voters. President doesnt need voters. Talk radio must get rid of conservatives. Rule of law does not apply to D’s?
Where’s my rifle?

When you elect a demoagogue, this is to be expected. I am amazed that the financial firms in the state, which Spitzer previously extorted money from, will donate to his campaign. But, that is what passes for politics today. It used to be public service, now it is all about raw power and appeasing constituencies.
Boy am I glad I left that hell-hole, though I do miss the beaches on the east end of Long Island, some of the nicest in the whole country.

A microcosm of life after 2008. The rationalization will be that the Republicans did it, but, we are Bolshecrats and will do it right.

This comment has all the sounds of a man who finally got elected to an office he’s cherished for a long time — only to realize that New York state basically has THREE governors. New York’s governor basically has no more power than the state assembly leader (Sheldon Silver) and the state senate leader (Joe Bruno).

Wheres my rifle?Amen to that! The nerve of Spitzer. I'm sure he'd agree that, using his own logic, President Bush should rule by decree as well. Right?
To: All
Spitzer is like Rick Perry of Texas....”doing what we damn well please”
THe NY state legislature probably needs to stay a little longer in the future

Downplaying the importance of passing laws, the freshman governor said he favored regulatory changes and executive orders to run the state -- neither of which require prior approval by the legislature. As much as I despise this guy, I have to admire his "in your face" honesty about who he really is, much like Hell Clinton coming right out and saying she's in agreement with Marx..."take things from you for the bigger good"...(paraphrase).
It's alway refreshing for me to know my enemies.

New Yorks governor basically has no more power than the state assembly leader (Sheldon Silver) and the state senate leader (Joe Bruno).The funny part is they HATE each other! Around here Spitzer's methods, that is, his only preferred method, is referred to as steamrolling.
