Someone tell the skinny on this, please.
I though the was a conservative. Then I heard adds about he gave to all the big lefty elections. Then I remembered Lazio taking it to Hitlery.
Who is the real leather conservative and who is Naugahyde?
Lazio is a RINO who was the patsy picked to run by the party.
Paladino is a businessman who has taken out the trash in this election.
I am so psyched. GO CARL GO!!!!
Lazio is anti-gun and pro-abortion. A Rino.
I’ve been involved up here in S. NY, and even had a lengthy
kind of devil’s advocate exchange with him at a meet ‘n greet in Pearl River. Paladino had the benefit of a VERY HIGHLY MOTIVATED army of volunteers, very well organized, very dedicated. He also had an enormous amount of money to spend, and spent it, and he will no doubt spend lots more in the next 6 weeks, all of it dedicated to exposing Cuomo and his part in our current economic crisis. He’s not as much of a longshot as the MSM ,even as of tonight’s win, are making him out to be. (Remember, they were calling him a longshot a week ago, and he won this handily)
As far as his giving large contributions over the years to all kinds of Dems, from Schumer, to Kerry, to Hillary,even to Gore,yes that’s true:at the same time he obviously gave $$ to Republican candidates, but the fact is he WAS a Democrat until recently. Lazio made a big deal about these Dem contributions in his radio ads all this past week, and I KNEW taking that tack would amount to nothing: remember, this is New York and lots of people who wound up voting for Paladino, may very well have ALSO contributed to those candidates. Plenty of disenchanted Dems here, who are not committed to the Party Machine, like Cuomo’s voters are.
