| NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo |
I’ve held off writing about this because it is so over the top in terms of acceptable behavior from an elected official that I decided to give it a bit of time to jell. I wanted to allow Governor Cuomo a chance to issue a press release saying, I was suffering from gastroenteritis/drunk/grief-stricken-because-my-dog-had-died at the time and said things that in no way represent what I truly think. Nothing that carries the flat-out I-did-not-mean-it apology which I think is required for such outrageous comments from an elected official has ensued.
Rep. Hamilton
It appears that not just the Governor, but the mayor of New York (or, as we call it where I’m from, New York City) are standing pat. They may not agree on much else, but they agree “100%” that people who think differently from them on a whole range of issues are not welcome in New York.
This isn’t about pro life vs pro abortion. It’s not about gun control vs the Second Amendment. It’s also not about gay vs traditional marriage. It’s about two elected officials who, from all evidence, have totally lost their sense of what elective office means. Both the Governor and the attaboy mayor following in his footsteps have taken on attitudes and ideas that are antithetical to what public service in the form of elective office entails.
When you’re elected to office, you represent everyone in the area that elected you. That means, Mr Governor and Mr Mayor, even those who oppose gun control, gay marriage and abortion. You are their governor and their mayor just the same as you are the mayor or governor for your pals and cronies who blow smoke up your skirts and tell you what a “statesman” you are for kicking everyone else to the curb.
It doesn’t matter if you agree with your constituents. It doesn’t matter if they agree with you. It certainly doesn’t matter if they like you or not. They can call you names and drive you nuts with weird accusations and oddball demands all they want. The office you occupy belongs to them. Not you.
Governor Cuomo occupies the office of Governor of New York. But the office belongs to the people of New York.
By the people of New York, I mean all of them, including those that the Governor and his mayoral echo say “don’t belong” in their fair state and city.
Jindal: New Yorkers should move to La. if they don't like Gov. Cuomo
Imagine the impact on NYS if all pro life New Yorkers could pack up their bags and leave. Cuomo would be singing a very different tune.
Or Texas...
Red states again begging people from blue states to come to red states....Very odd.
Yes Cuomo but you and your leftist hacks in NY state certainly welcome our tax revenues while you extort our ‘conservative’ taxes in your putrid state. $15 a hit to cross the bridges and tunnels in and out—potholes included.
You immoral, corrupted fraud living large on Daddy’s name.
This ex NYer is pizzed at what you leftists did to NY. Pox on you tasbard Cuomo—and de Blahzio too.
New Yorkers welcome? Um.... be careful what you ask for...
when they flee their own socialist pig pens, they often bring in their politics and voting habits and elect idiots who will do to their new host state, what they did to their old state....
I never thought it possible for anyone to be dumber than Mario Cuomo, yet his dumbass son has managed to make his father look intelligent.
Another dumb dago in an expensive suit.
HELP!

"OUR NEW YORKERS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR NEW YORKERS!!!"
NY ping.
My kids are already abandoning the state for greener pastures.
Soon as is feasible, we’re outta here.
Mr. Governor and Mr. Mayor, you are losing yet another law abiding, tax paying citizen.
Your loss, not mine.
Hemorrhoids, they be Hemorrhoids
The ones that come down and go back up
Are not so bad...
Spoken as one born, and raised in NJ
But escaped to the deep South half a century ago
Not so odd. Some people realize that not everyone who lives in a blue state is liberal.
Perhaps you need to get out more.

Exactly. Let us not forget that Free Republic is headquartered in California.

Andrew Cuomo and Bill DeBlasio are behaving tyrannically. It is morally okay to “do” tyrants.
