Cuomo: ‘I was not saying anyone should leave the state’
The Daily Caller ^ | February 12, 2014 | Caroline May

Posted on 02/12/2014 8:18:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

People misunderstood New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo when he said conservatives “have no place in the state of New York,” the Democratic governor explained Wednesday.

“I was not saying anyone should leave the state, right? And anyone who heard the comments knows that’s not what I was saying,” Cuomo said when asked about his comments at a press conference. “To the extent people want to have a political dialogue, that’s what it is.”

Cuomo came under fire from conservatives last month when he said “extreme conservatives, who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay … have no place in the state of New York.”

Conservative talker Sean Hannity even threatened to leave the state over the comments.

“Gov. Cuomo, I’m going to leave and I’m taking all of my money with me – every single solitary penny,” Hannity said on his radio show in January. “And by the way governor, because I work here – there’s a whole bunch of people that work for me and benefit because I do two shows. And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”(continued)

Come to the NEW New York,
And build your Company!
We have Tax Free Zones,
So Build and grow tax free!

What I meant to say,
As normal people would agree,
I know what is best to think and say.
In New York I make the rules,
Since arrogance is the key,
Of Liberal life and debt.

When the tax free zones expire,
Just leave your Company Key.

I can’t stand to listen to this lying POS mofo. Ever noticed that he “uptalks” all the time like a Valley Girl? His tampons must be pretty uncomfortable to make him talk like that.

He is responsible for the housing bubble that burst in 2008 and he will NEVER be held accountable for that.

When I asked my source in the belly of the beast (Albany) - what the reaction was among the state workers?

The answer came back - most ofthem are not aware of the situation.

We are surrounded by low information voters.

People simply do not have a clue anymore.

Wallace wouldn't be comfortable living in Cuba?

If anybody told me, “You’re not welcome here”, I’d interpret it to mean that he wanted me to leave.

I suppose, however, words mean only what Cuomo wants them to mean, nothing more and nothing less.

With the Red Queens of theauthoritarian progressive movement in charge, I really do feel like Alice in Wonderland.

I hope Hannity carries through his comment since he said he WAS leaving, not threatening to leave. And how liberals say something then claim to have meant the complete opposite is astounding to me. What freaking liars

Sorry, Governor Cuomo, you told the truth and now people are going to take you at your word. Even Sean Hannity is thinking of jumping ship from the Empire State and heading to FL or TX. See ya, Gov.

New Yorkers are welcome in Texas, but only if they want to become Texans ... and not turn Texas into New York.

Like the police chief of Houston once said: Yankees are like hemorrhoids: when they come down and go back up, they aren’t so bad; but when they come down and stay down, they’re a source of constant irritation.

I wonder how the “come to New York to do business” ad campaign is effecting new businesses to NY? I would think it would keep many (in their right mind) from setting up shop in NY even with the touted ten year tax free inducement. What other taxes and fees are not being mentioned in the ad?

Of course he didn’t intend anyone to leave.
Communists don’t allow anyone to leave.
They also don’t allow dissenting thought.
You will be re-educated, comrade.

Remember, they’re not “liberals”, they’re communists. Liberals value divergent views, if only to get their own intolerable views tolerated. Communists, having achieved tolerance of their own intolerable views, literally seek to destroy diverging views - not to tolerate diversity, nor let others leave to live their views elsewhere, but to destroy the very existence of unapproved opinions.

We have people all along the spectrum, and it’s one of the things that makes New York special.”

Yeah, Cuomo's special alright.

Ask Cuomo there about Rush.

He left and the state’s taxman kept trying to drag him back.

** And I guess maybe some of them will be out of work, governor. I’m sure you’ll take care of them.”**

Unlike Jay Leno who took care of his TV family. Repeatedly, consistently.

Sean, you are a putz....and keep proving it....time and again.
