My political idealogy, cont. from the members lounge

[NYdem83]

I do not believe I am a rino, but I understand what it means. I just see my state failing and very quickly. I do love my state and I wish not to have to abandon it one day. The people need a voice someone to stand up and say no more. I intend to do just that. My opponent has been in office for awhile, yet no one has a clue who is he, what he has done or what he intends to do. He is a republican, but like I said prior, our politics is much different than in other states. I refuse to go negative in my campaign. I will focus on the issues and what I intend to do. Yes, cutting funding across the board, making it harder to committ fraud within the programs and limiting any new spending. That's a lot for one person to have on their plate, but with a little help from my fellow NY'ers we can stop whats going on. The state also has massive corrupting going on and once again the powers that be are turning a blind eye. One city in particular has lost 2 mayors and 2 police chiefs and number of heads to certain departments to FBI arrests. NY truly is failing.

What office are you running for and under which party?

[NYdem83]

State Legislature as a democrat. Like I said prior, reform is what I'm focused on now. I am not by any means a die-hard democrat. I do not care about party affiliation, I'm running because someone needs to stand up and say no more to what is going on. This rubber stamping checks in the assembly and the senate must stop. It's going to be very long road, I'm aware.

You should get your pals Pataki , Guilianni , Bloomberg to register as Democrats .

This way the GOP doesnt have to worry about some LIBERAL trying to get the 2008 GOP nomination .

[NYdem83]

Pataki is on his way out and Splitzer is the front runner. As for the Senator, I can not say. I would hope we debate the current issue of reform, instead of my party affiliation. A party in NY is nothing more than a line on the ballot these days anyways. I also know what needs to be done and I'll do whatever it takes to get there. I'm not being dramatic, but every single report from conservative or liberal or independent think tanks say NY is on the verge of financial collapse. I take great pride in my state. We have tremendous things to offer and we are a great people. I refuse to stand by idly and watch it all fail. Guilianni no matter what he did privately, is a good man. He turned NYC around and kept it from rioting in the wake of 9/11. Once again, NY politics are very different than anywhere else. One of the most liberal cities in America continuously elects republicans to city offices.
