Mostly south Florida. Upstate,like NY, they’re mostly still despised
“Just about everyone I met there believed that New Yorkers were smarter, sharper, harder to get the best of in a deal, and the envy of the rest of the country.”
Provincials. Most of them, at least. Funny about that. I also found that attitude prevalent in small towns, mid-sized cities and in other countries.
In fact, the entire world is one big Lake Wobegon.
The only person I’ve ever met to admit he wasn’t all that, was a polyglot ophthalmological surgeon with a speciality in retinas, two visiting professorships at two very highly respected medical schools, numerous articles and a fantastically generous and humble person.
J - you really are all that.
No, we pretty much hate them here too.
“Your description of Cuomo made me envision him as the Better Call Saul of NY. “

Now you leave Saul alone. He has more “honor” in his little finger than most of the two-faced politicians of today do.

8 million of NYers live in the NY City and are LIBTARDS....plus illegals.... upstate and suburbs only have 7 million... so the deck is stacked... Long Island and upstate should for a seperate state(s)... 3+ million live on long island and about the same live upstate. There is NO ECONOMY UPSTATE and Cuomo wont permit fracking despite proven reserves and a positive economic impact.... let them eat bark is his mantra..
Rob is not depraved. His first marriage failed because his then wife did not want a public figure life as Rob’s political aspirations grew. Neither has spoken disparagingly of the other. He is a good husband and good father to his children. He respects his wife, and she is very supportive of him. No republican in New York would be able to run for office without a supportive spouse considering the way the left treats conservatives.
Being divorced = being depraved? Seriously? Lotta depraved FReepers out there, not just pols.
(happily married to first and only spouse for 34 years, thank you!)
Do you think the first wife might be equally depraved?
Upstate New York would never survive without the tax revenues that come from New York City. The state spends almost $50 billion on Medicaid—the richest in the entire country. Not all of that spending goes to NYC. The upstate economy is in shambles because of lost manufacturing and over-regulation of industry as a whole. The dairy industry is controlled by the few who make sure that farmers get screwed. The upstate cities of Rochester, Albany, Syracuse and Buffalo have been decimated by lousy democrat control for decades. Fracking is the only hope for upstate.
New York has a majority of STUPID PEOPLE!!
Rob may be able to pull it off since 40% of the state’s votes are from upstate. NYC had a very low turnout for DeBlasio (17%). If Rob pulls Westchester and Long Island, it could happen. If not, time to get the hell out of this cesspool. I’m done. Highest taxes. Fascist gun restrictions. Worst business climate. Tons of illegals. Out of control Medicaid spending. Unions bankrupting towns with unsustainable contracts. The state GOP has done nothing to help Rob. No money. No support from any republican legislator.
I doubt it
yeah I am betting that is the public story and the real story is not that neat
You heard right about the rebate, but this has been going on for years long before Cuomo.
I happen to know him. And you’re wrong.
You do? Why? Do you know the circumstances of the divorce?Or does the simple fact that she's a woman make her less culpable than one of those male dogs? /s
Yldstrk, I say this with all sincerity...I don't know what happened to make you dislike men so intensely, but I'm sorry for it, whatever it was.
I'd like to complain about your statement, but I cant...even though I was born and raised here.
the STUPIDITY can be seen in the 2/3rd vote for president for the Dhimmicrats the last 2 election cycles....
or perhaps they are not necessarily STUPID but dyed in the wool MARXISTS or as they call themselves PROGRESSIVES, as they so love being on the governments teat.
One of the basic weaknesses of the GOP is that they allow the dems to outright lie and then they take a long time, if ever, to respond. By that time, the lie "sticks" and fantasy becomes reality. They need to IMMEDIATELY respond to counter the lies.
