Quote:Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they are the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.
Really?
Right to Life is an "extreme" position?
I checked 9 pages of New Topics and couldn't find one that pertained to this topic.
What do you think would have been the response if Gov. Walker of Wisconsin announced that extreme liberals who are Pro-Choice, anti-guns, and pro-same sex marriages had not place in the state of Wisconsin?
Now I think this was a calculated political move by Cuomo (although how he thinks he might ever be elected to the presidency by pissing off half of the country is beyond me), but so what?
I'm sure this comment resonates with the wacky crowd who view conservatives as evil beings, but for a Governor of any state to say such a thing is appalling.
You might as well place Cuomo among the secessionist crowd, as this is the sort of rhetoric that could lead to it.
BTW - Who is "pro-assault weapons?" Obviously Cuomo is referring to people who oppose gun control, and who is "anti-gay?" Want to bet that as far as Cuomo is concerned, it's anyone who doesn't support same sex marriages?
