[history]
Former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo yesterday accused President Bush of starting a class war in 2001 and continuing that war by promoting more tax relief this year.
Mr. Bush and other Republicans have said Democrats are waging "class warfare" by claiming the president's tax cuts favor the rich.

"He said we are going to give all the[their] money[back] to the richest people, and so he was commander and chief of the richest corporations,(that are a MAJOR factor in maintaining our status as the #1 world economy) the richest people,(that in most cases earned it on their own without ANY government help) and he says, 'Now, I declare war on all the rest of you,(haven't heard that quote yet)'" Mr. Cuomo said.

Giggle . . . Pretty amusing to see dems bitter, frustrated and lost. And how come when they lose, it's because their message wasn't heard?--It's not possible, not even a little, not even for a second, that people got it and just didn't like what they heard? Can't be, cause they're always RIGHT, and when we win it must have occured through subterfuge and smokescreens. And--poor Cuomo, like all dems, still obsessing over the bloody shirt of 2000. With his line of thinking, does anyone know if he commented about the gop being the nation's majority party in 1988 cause they won the popular vote in the last 3 presidential elections? Simpleton reasoning by a silly man.

What a pathetic excuse of an "ex-leader". To think that this bozo Cuomo could have had the Democrat nomination handed to him if he had had the cajones to go head to head with GHWB when the elder Bush was still riding so high in the polls following the Gulf War. But he wimped out and Clinton slithered in and the rest is history. Demo/commies like Cuomo evidently do believe that if they repeat their lies often enough, they will be accepted as truth - but the Internet has turned out to be a big equalizer - they don't get the free pass that they used to...

Who is Mario Cuomo?? </sarcasm
To: kattracks
...We dont have counterparts on the liberal side. DONAHUE: Why is that, Governor?
CUOMO: Well, because we believe in subtlety. We believe in telling the whole truth. We dont want to exaggerate.
You see, look, they write their message with crayons. We use fine-point quills. We get a little bit more, I think-intellectual is not the right word....January 6, 2003 transcript.
Yeah. Right. No class distinctions here. Nothing to see. Move along.

This is just another attempt by him to take the party away form Clinton. There is a war going on for control of the party.

Oh, I'm sorry Mario, did you say something?
To: kattracks
Ha! Cuomo hates the Clintons... they pulled his boy out!
Then they stiffed Carl McCall. No soup for you!
This is like a comedy club where the first two bomb.(Bill & Hillary)
Now it's back to Alan King to pick up the audience.
Old man Cuomo has probably been offered a cabinet spot if the dems win in 2004.
Why else would he get so chatty now?

Who cares. His son was forced to withdraw from the gubernatorial race by Bill Clinton and his political star sank when an unknown named George Pataki blindsided him in 1994. All the same I think of nothing better than seeing him back in the spotlight; it'll remind people of everything they hated about the Democratic Party back in the 1980s.

"During a question-and-answer session after his speech, Mr. Cuomo, himself a former radio talk-show host, said Democrats don't need or want a liberal version of Rush Limbaugh. He argued that Democratic candidates won the popular vote in the last three presidential elections, "so we are the majority and we don't need a Limbaugh." "He was an unsuccessful talk-show host. His allegation of majority is also in doubt. He is boring and he just proves that Dim's have no original ideas. They have been spouting the same garbage for years. They are in an advanced state of entropy but haven't figured it out yet.

Demo/commies like Cuomo evidently do believe that if they repeat their lies often enough, they will be accepted as truth IMHO, the mechanics are a bit different than that. I don't think they knowingly lie, I think they're misguided.
I believe they repeat the lies so often AMONGST THEMSELVES, they accept them for truth. This explains how they can never believe the people rejected their message.

Nah, Cuomo is another Night of The Living Dead democrat they dig up when desparate, like LautenCadaver or Wax Museum Mondale.

Yea, what they're really upset about is that everyone now knows that the bottom 50% of Tax payers now pay less than 5% of all income tax. i.e. there ain't much more (only 5%) that the dems can redistribute. Then where do they go???
Class Warefare don't work nomore...

If there is one thing I wish Rush Limbaugh would do it is to invite Cuomo onto his show, keep needling him to appear on his show and they can discuss "truth" and how the Demonrats tell the "truth". Make it a big publicity event. I wish Limbaugh would push for the Carvilles, Cuomos, Clintoons to have the guts to appear on his show since they repeatedly refer to him as the "liar" and yet fail to mention what exactly makes him the liar. Rush needs to show how gutless those libs are and keep needling them to show up and make their case. That would be too good and of course the Demonrats like Cuomo would never show up because you have to give Limbaugh credit-he exposes all their lies right out and they know it.

Nah, Cuomo is another Night of The Living Dead democrat. . .
