Benjamin Franklin is credited with defining insanity as the action of constantly doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results. Well with that understanding, it is my opinion that both California and New York voters are suffering from an extreme case of insanity. In California, Democrat Jerry Brown is holding a slight edge over Republican Meg Whitman 48% to 42%. Now I do believe that both Whitman and Paladino can win, if Republicans vote with the same enthusiasm they had during the primaries. However, if these numbers hold then it looks as if Jerry Brown will be the next governor of California. That, my friends, is insane, because Jerry Brown is the man who admittedly put California in debt by spending the surplus Ronald Reagan left. California has never climbed out of that debt because of the insane voters who continue to re-elect the same liberal Democrats who think like Jerry Brown does. So along with keeping both state houses under the Democrats' control, they could very well re-elect the worst governor ever to have held the office. THAT IS INSANE!
Meanwhile, over on America's coastline where the sun rises, New Yorkers are ready to do a similar thing by putting Andrew Cuomo in the governor's mansion. So, like Californians, New Yorkers also suffer from insanity. After all, it was Andrew's father Mario who screwed the state up so bad that a virtual unknown Republican candidate, George Pataki, defeated him in his bid for a fourth term. Well, now Andrew is running for governor against Carl Paladino. Unfortunately, 51% to 37%. This does not bode well for the Big Apple. Even if you ignore the pathetic shape of New York that was left by his father when he lost to Pataki in 1994, Andrew himself has his own serious issues. He is directly responsible for setting things up, along with Kirsten Gillibrand, Barney Frank, and Christopher Dodd, that destroyed the housing market, and thus sent America into an economic tailspin.

As Bill Clinton's Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Cuomo was the prime mover behind programs that destabilized Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd were running these two lending institutions when George Bush tried to fix things. Unfortunately for Americans, Frank and Dodd stood in Bush's way and so the corrupt.....

I live in a state that has many illegals who vote, and home grown idiots who continue to show the symptoms of insanity as they do in New York. Why else would they continually re-elect leftist who are bent on enslaving them for life? Check out my article and the video I have of Andrew Cuomo taking credit for the biggest contributor to our current recession......

In the primaries turnout was up 400% in some precincts.
not up 400% over last off-year election, up 400% from the last PRESIDENTIAL election.
Paladino supporters are 'broken glass' supporters. As in they would crawl over broken glass to make sure cuomo does not win.
I talked to a dumbell democrat at Geico about my insurance last night. He said he was a "Cuomo Guy" (proudly). I asked him if he was gay... stunned silence? I said it was just because Como was for gay marriage... I asked him if he knew that Cuomo was head of HUD and ignited the housing melt down and ruined the entire US economy... more silence...
then he said "well I have a different view..blah blah.." I said There is no VIEW- look it up on the Internet if you are not too stupid you can find video of him sayings so (I mentioned Free Republic).
At the end he said "I'll have to look in to that and think about it"
ALL Paladino supporters are not that wishy-washy. You can turn them IF YOU GO OUT AND DO IT!!!!!!!! WE CANNOT LET CUOMO WIN!!! Get at least ONE OTHER PERSON to change his mind, and we win!
I only missed one comma BUMP, OV.
Thanks for the ping!
Without taxpayers, there aren't taxes.
And there won't be money to keep all those folks in the style to which they've become accustomed.
To all those folks who plan on voting 'Rat because they think it'll keep their bennies coming, you're killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, guys.
Your only hope is a healthy economy and you won't get that voting 'Rat.
You’re welcome, FRiend.
My English teacher said that it would take four expert proofreaders doing two proofs each to produce a perfect essay, so I really don’t feel bad at all for missing a few things. ;-)
The problem is that Paldino is such a turnoff that people will come out to vote against him instead of voting for Cuomo.
Then you're saying you deserve Obama?
No, Paladino is NOT a TURN-OFF.. the media was just out to PORTRAY HIM THAT WAY.
There is nothing he could have said or done to make the media say nice things about him... As a freeper you do see that, don’t you?
If you want to know why Cuomo is not on TV at all, because HE IS SUCH A TURNOFF- He has a whiny lispy voice and goes um ahh um ahh every 2 seconds...
People that know him hate him. King Andy won’t even open a door for himself- he will actually stnad there and not move until someone opens the door for him. A close insider told me “Nobody likes that kid” like 20 years ago...
IT IS THE MEDIA who is trying to make him look bad.
FREEPERS ESPECIALLY SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!!
I know what Paladino has said. You don’t need to whitewash what he said. He is angry. I am angry. Everyone in NY has a right to be angry because of all the CRAP that NY has to go through.
But there are consequences to letting the anger overtake you and it doesn’t help during an election campaign.
We have a childish legislature that locked Republicans out of the chambers and makes the rest of the state pay for NYC.
A namby-pamby isn't going to cut it.
No.
Personally, I didn't vote for Obama, and I don't deserve him, and I don't think even the people who voted for him deserve the damage that he's subjected them to.
And I didn't vote for the Dem jacka**es that run NY. But according to you, I deserve their damage.
There are 9,000,000 people in NY city. There's about the same number in the rest of the state. Throw in cities and the rest of us get outvoted. This is also the national pattern. Get it?
And we haven't even factored for vote fraud.
Every election year I tell conservatives people to vote. I tell Christians to vote. I tell them the truth and they agee with me. They say they will vote.
A week or so after the election I find out that many of them did not vote. They make all types of excuses as to why they will not. In California I get what I get for leaders because many conservatives and even Christians do not vote.
I should move to Texas because I know that they will not vote year after year even after i hound them
By not moving to a place where they care about actually changing things I get the government I deserve.
I finally decided to take my activism to the next level. Now I will even drive them to the polls so the will not have an excuse. They will vote this year, and even then I will get the government I deserve.
That is because of my past inactivity of not heading this disaster off at the start. Many of us sat back and allowed the schools to teach our children what they wanted to teach them ,even if it went against our beliefs. Many conservatives have never gone to school to face their childrens teacher or principal. Can you imagine if each and every conservative parent went to school once a week to keep the teachers honest?
It is time we put the fear of God in those who would lead us to the gas chambers. No more, no more sitting back and saying oh well. This election is the beginning, now it is up to us to keep the fire going so that we will not just get the government we deserve, but the one we want.
My church group is fired up about voting. They always have been. They even sell baked goods and coffee at the polling place (actually it’s a “donation” not a charge). We don’t have a problem with not voting.
