Andy Cuomo declares New York state to be left wing and "konservativrein"

Cuomo: ‘Extreme conservatives … have no place in the state of New York’

Posted on January 17, 2014 at 1:15 pm by Casey Seiler, Capitol bureau chief
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the current “schism” in the state Republican party is a smaller version of the split causing so much damage in Washington, D.C., and that “conservative Republicans … have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.”

In conversation with Susan Arbetter on “The Capitol Pressroom” Friday morning, Cuomo said:
You have a schism within the Republican Party. … They’re searching to define their soul, that’s what’s going on. Is the Republican party in this state a moderate party or is it an extreme conservative party? That’s what they’re trying to figure out. It’s a mirror of what’s going on in Washington. The gridlock in Washington is less about Democrats and Republicans. It’s more about extreme Republicans versus moderate Republicans.

… You’re seeing that play out in New York. … The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act — it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate! Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves. 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’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.

If they’re moderate Republicans like in the Senate right now, who control the Senate — moderate Republicans have a place in their state. George Pataki was governor of this state as a moderate Republican; but not what you’re hearing from them on the far right.
The governor’s suggestion that, for example, those who hold anti-abortion views have no place in the state prompted Dennis Poust, spokesman for the state Catholic Conference, to observe on Twitter, “My governor thinks there’s no place in NY for people like me. Can I get a state grant to relocate?” (And where to — New Hampshire, maybe?)

Cuomo also defended his immense campaign haul of more than $33 million.

“Somebody can come in with personal wealth and just win the office because they can outspend you,” before alluding to Donald Trump’s boast that he could pour up to $200 million into a gubernatorial run: “You see some of the names brag about (how) they have unlimited wealth and can spend anything and could dwarf my spending, significant as my fundraising has been … and they’re proud about it, or they have family money, or daddy gives them money or whatever the case may be.

” … And I need to be in a position where I can explain to the people of the state what we’ve done and what we plan to do, and that’s why we raised the money in the campaign.”

If you were waiting for a full-throated reiteration of the governor’s call for public financing of campaigns, he eventually got there, but mainly as “a matter of appearance.”

“I think a lot of this conversation is baloney, frankly,” he said of concern over the wealth of many of his donors, insisting that the real question was one of character.

“Some politicians out there can be bought for $10, and some politicians can’t be bought for $10 billion, you know? It’s a question about the person,” he said. ” … It’s not how much does it cost to buy a politician, it’s that a politician can be bought.” (Which is, as Newsday’s Yancey Roy noted on Twitter as the interview was going on, very similar to arguments that opponents of public financing have been making.)

Cuomo said his ultimate test was whether or not he could sleep well at night.

“I believe in my heart and I believe the people of this state believe that — forget the money and the campaign contributions and what people give — I’m going to do what I believe is right for them, I’m going to make the decision that I’m proud of,” he said.

LOL, you are talking utter ignorance of history, or just open lies. The Catholic Church not into political interference, when that's its whole history?? They're the definition of "church and state". Having been raised Catholic, I know of what I speak—and frankly, to be Catholic spiritually does not mean to be "in name only" while being against chief tenets of the religion (which is still staunchly anti-abortion and pro-traditional family—anyone against these is an heretick, like Andy). So go tell the Pope to STFU, because he's pro-everything that's traditional Catholicism . . .

Since 1787, all religions are supposed to stay OUT of politics in the USA.

You said you are a Protestant. That's NOT Catholic. I was raised Catholic. I know of what I spek, and the church itself has mandated clergy NOT to be involved in politics, there was a priest that had gotten elected to Congress and had to resign, IIRC this was in the late 70s. So basically, stop with yer bullshit. You're not part of th church by your own admission.

Nor do they do heresy anymore.

He only said, "Christian".

Since 1787, all religions are supposed to stay OUT of politics in the USA

No, the Constitution doesn't say that. It only says that Congress may not pass any laws respecting an establishment of religion. But it wouldn't surprise me that you would get the US constitution mixed up with the USSR's constitution:
In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.

— 1936 "Stalin" Constitution, Article 124

Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.

In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.

— 1977 "Brezhnev" Constitution, Article 52
You said you are a Protestant

Are you trying to make the record for the most lies posted on OTChat?

Andrew Cuomo just declared war on the Vatican, you know. That won't end well.

No, I ain't a Protestant either and never, ever said I was. Just a Christian. Just the bare fact of my believing that the seventh-day Sabbath (the "Jewish" Sabbath) is the correct sabbath and that Sunday worship is against Jesus' teachings would put me out of the mainstream as far as that goes.

With the boatload of attitudes you exhibit here, I'd never imagine you to be any variety of Christian. Your expressed attitudes are closer to a barbarian than anything Christ taught.LOL!

This isn't the USSR. Never was, never will be. The message for the church to stay out of politics came from the Vatican. Otherwise, fuck off with the commie bullshit. I'm no communist.

YOU said you were not a Catholic. If YOU are lying, then you ought to come clean with us all here. IMO, that's what's happening, and you're the one caught in it.

Where and when exactly did that happen? I saw a statement from the NY governor (and you live in PA so why should you give a damn?) about RWers much like yourself but nothing about the Vatican. How this non-"war" ends isn't an issue since there is, in reality, no war.

Wrong. The Constitution merely forbids the state from favoring one religion over another. The purpose was to avoid creating a Church of the United States (a la Church of England). The founding fathers were religious men, but they rightfully saw the problem with religious dogma infecting every aspect of life

Oh, well I went to Irish-Catholic mass tonight.

Sostenes was mentioned. Never heard of him before but it's a cool name.

Churches are closed on Monday on observance of Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. I don't know if mainline Protestants are doing the same.

It's interesting that you are Irish and not a Catholic.
