Carl Paladino Plays Up Redneck Politics

Shame on the Author. Slurs against ethnicities and orientations are not okay, but calling someone a "redneck" if you don't agree with their values is? Disgusting.

So,let's see: Paladino is an honest, straight-forward man, not a politician, has been successful in his business life, and follows his own value set. What's not to like? He even displays good manners, when he apologizes if someone is offended by his plain speech. Compare that to the writer's use of predjudicial terms like "redneck" (or teaba**er) and the name-calling response of many commenters. Upstate is coming into its own. Look out, Liberals!

Has anyone seen accounts of reports that Paladino owned property that was a gay night club where his son was the manager, thereof? The hypocrisy is astounding! I'm not gay but I find it appalling that this candidate would pander to the bigoted views of people who on the one hand reject any notion of government involvement in their personal affairs but feel perfectly justified to dictate to a woman what she can or cannot do with her body or who has the right to marry who.

This article is obviously written by a NYC gay supporter. Carl is indeed saying what so many people, city and upstate, actually believe. Only a gay supporting liberal or someone trying to be politically correct is unable to see the reality of the "back to basics" lifestyle that lead the USA to it's leadership in world positiion. And, just what is wrong about not wanting our kids to be exposed to the "mostly nude" bikini clad "men?" gyrating against each other? Has our society really fallen that far that we accept that kind of action as what we have become?

Much of the supportive sentiment I read here, is the same I read when George Bush ran for president, both times. You know where that got us. FOOLS! Paladino is the kind of guy I could sit next to at the bar and have a beer with. Just like Bush.

All I can say to Luisita Lopez Torregrosa is this: Get ready for the ride. You and other Democratic sympathizers and supporters of Cuomo are in for the education of a lifetime if you think you still know who New Yorkers are, and who speaks for the mainstream. Paladino is not a homophobe, Luisita. He reflected the view that a huge number of Americans share, of "live and let live, but don't promote" where homosexuality is concerned. It isn't about hate, but it also isn't about validation, either. Anyone who gets bullied or killed is the victim of a crime, whether they are gay or not, and such a tragedy is not a clarion call for greater homosexual acceptance and more legislation. We are at a stage in American politics where we are not longer interested, in this post-O'Donnell world, of your spun poll numbers. Only one counts -- the one held on Election Day. And it's not beyond the realm of possibility that you, Luisita, may have to get used to the words "Governor" and "Paladino" in the same sentence.

I want to comment on those nasty and quasi-communistic political war games and attacks ( on the part of New York City liberal Democrats ) that are being consistently and brutally launched against on one of our own upstate New York contenders for The New york State Governor's Office on this year's ballot. I personally feel that the welfare and best interests of NY State, as a whole, are being vilely compromised continuously and flagrantly by the likes of the same New York City flim flam politicos year after year whom desperately and relentlessly seem to buy their way into the highest offices of the state from where they do their utmost to try to indoctrinate the entire state with their far leftist views and policies and where they create and pass mandates and laws that forever to continue to both economically and financially CRIPPLE all upstate New Yorkers whom are always sure to be scapegoats of their inept failures. It goes without saying, an Upstater, a surprise conservative upstart and newcomer from outside the walls of New York City's " Liberal Liberal Land " has become the center of attention and main target of everybody and anybody whom opposes or is angered over his personal anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion views, opinions which are ironically mirrored by by most constituent upstate voters as well. However, as usual and as always, during these new election years, The New York City " LIBERAL MACHINE ", because of its' size and popularity with world politics,WE, who live outside those perameters in every OTHER part of the state, are forever and systematically looked own upon as ' the most UNEDUCATED and most IGNORANT local yokels of the region, whereas, all the cronies from Big Apple Land forever once again continue to arrogantly see themselves as being far superior to us in every way, stemming from station in class to intellectual leadership. New York City liberals see themselves as Dukes, Earls, and people of righteous nobility watching from the ramparts of their Camelot walls, always ready to to impose unjust tariffs and taxes upon us Upstate New Yorkers, whom they consider their indentured SERFS and compliant minions. I am just so sick and tired of all us upstaters getting the shaft, especially when it's always WE who bear the heaviest taxes, the least amount of financial help and whom never receives any kind of recognition or honorable mention as being the TRUE pillars of this state's existence. Just ANOTHER valid and POWERFUL reason for all Upstate New Yorkers to march southward in Paladino's army.

Carl Paladino is a millionaire is he, just goes to show you what money can do for you. You have this lady in California spending millions on her campaign for governor, and also Hillary C. did the same thing. This tells me that many of these political individuals are trying to buy their way into the political scene. They just throw something out there and hope something sticks. What a year to be in politics.

I wonder if Luista Lopez Torregrosa was once Catholic? The REAL truth is that Paladino is Pro-Life and Pro-Marriage. Notice the slant that Torregrosa puts on it, making it a negative. Imagine, a person who supports preserving the life of an innocent, helpless child, and supports marriage between a man and woman, a sacred union that has been with us since the begiining of time, and is the cornerstone of society....is considered bad by Torregrosa. As far as his comments on the gay parade, Palidino is right. They are somewhat goulish, men dressed up in ladies underwear, flaunting themselves, grinding, etc....it all happens in these parades. They do not bring a good image of gay people, quite the opposite...and actually discredits all good gay people. As far as Cuomo is concerned, he would make a worse governor than his father...who was absolutely terrible. He calls himself a Catholic but is pro-abortion, pro- same sex marriage that are in direct conflict with the Catholic Church, also following in the footsteps of his father. How can you trust a person in public office if he has no respect for life and violates his own faith. I have been told by people who were in his company that Cuomo waits for people to open a door for him, and to carry his luggage as if he were an elite member of royalty. Although I don't condone or agree with All the comments made my Paadino about gay people, there is no question that it has been blow WAY out of proportion by the media, including the writer of this article.

Now here is a Man like any man...(or woman) who is not a seasoned politician, nor seeking another term but only one...This One....Owes nothing to anyone. The Issues themselves are very plain for New York.. I say GO FOR IT....or don't keep complaing!
