Lol maybye in new york but wre not going to elect a tax raising pro choice pro gay pro union pro abortion governor as our candidate.

[dc-zoo]

Never "Overestimate" him either.

[Joe Boucher]

Pataki won't fly in the south. As a RINO it is pretty hard to capture the white house without the South.
There isn't three voters here in the south that would vote for this boob that aren't transplanted new yorkers.

Never overestimate Al D'Amato. He is just a doofus.

Yes Pataki cameout of nowhere in 1994.I should know. My firm produced 15 radio ads and 2 TV ads for his fledgling campaign,focusing primarily on the death penalty. I also produced an ad attacking Giuliani for endorsing Cuomo as a quid pro quo for getting more cash aid for New York City (that ad really helped Pataki in the suburbs).

It felt good to have a big impact on a campaign like that. But unfortunately, I could never again help Mr Pataki in good conscience. Firstly, the restoration of the death penalty, which was our primary campaign theme against Cuomo, has become a farce. There is effectively no death penalty in New York, and Pataki has shown zero leadership to fill the judicial and legislative void.

And on abortion, the Pataki situation is appalling, and not just because he himself is pro-abortion. When I met his wife Libby, she seemed a gracious and decent woman. But she has since revealed herself as a gruesomely vigorous supporter of abortion. Libby Pataki has herself or with others,participated in fund raisers that have raised over $14 million for Planned Parenthood and NARAL. This is not a "women's rights issue". These are the lobbying groups for a giant industry that slaughters children. Libby Pataki's zeal in funding abortionists has made it impossible for me to even consider helping her husband ever again.

Pataki has no chance in hell. The Republicans in NY don't like him, so why would anyone else?

[jmaroneps37]

Al, you're on drugs.

[PzLdr]

That's Gapetto talking, you understand.

[Condor51]

Dear "former Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato"

Note to from Republican presidential primary candidates voters: George Pataki wouldn't, no CAN'T, win one primary.

Also "Al" buy a clue. Pataki has the personality of drying paint, and that's his 'good point'. And "Al" a NE liberal will never win the WH, even if he calls himself a republican.

I guess the Al is short for "Alzheimers"

[Clemenza]

Goomba Scumauto is always good for a bunch of laughs.

[firebrand]

Tommy Smothers, or maybe Harpo Marx
