Client #9 Whites need not apply |
|
|
Posted by rbseabeach on Mon Mar 8 18:46:03 2010 Turns out that Client #9 received the endorsement of the gang of 4 in Harlem. But they wanted him to pick this black female that they already picked out for him. Clinet 9 was furious and he set out on a mission to find his own black candidate to "Balance" the ticket. I guess whites, latinos, asians, muslims, american indians were not good enough for him. Every one he asked declined. Then Patterson came to him and asked how about me? Perfect! Patterson is Black!!!!!!Stop the presses. His qualifications do not matter, his record in the Senate doesn't matter, all the matters is his color. He was then chosen and basically he wasnot ready for prime time and now people are trying to blame Spitz for giving us a governor based entirely on his race. I call that racism. I could care less what race Spitzer's running mate was as long as he had a proven record and was qualified. If he was black so be it. But to excluded everyone else is racism. |

I'll bet it was Fred Dickless ... the story I heard way back when was that Paterson was selected because he was well-respected upstate and was a boon to the ticket to get upstate to vote for a democrat. If anyone can track down the source though, I'd like to look into it further. |

David Paterson won the 2006 Democratic primary for Liuetenant Governor by garnering more votes than any other candidate for Lt. Governor so your story is a demonstrable crock of shit. |

Ok, the only problem is I simply posted the story which appeared in the Sunday March 7th, 2010 edition of the NY Post. The main point of th story was to blame Spitzer for giving us Patterson and the fact that Spitzer refused to go along with the hand picked black female candidate of Rangle, Patterson Sr and Dinkins. The article can be found in the NY Post archives. |

It is racist for Spitzer to only consider a candidate based on race. I'm just the messenger. The article appeared in Sunday's (March 7) NY Post. Even Wayne Barrett of the loony Left Village Voice had some issues about the Harlem Summits to decide Patterson's fate. Patterson is the governor for all New Yorkers he is not an elected official representing a black district. |

YES! and even on a NY 1 interview last week, Wayne Garrett of the loony Village Voice raised these same concerns. he said Patterson is the governor of all New Yorkers!! |

I have to figure out how to add links and pictures. I have the instructions but I have to practice.I was so pissed with that article. I want someone based on qualifications not race!!! The position of Governor is too important. |

Why? he knew of Patterson's record in the Senate. He called it a dream ticket based on race alone. This is an outrage. |

Don't know of the reporter who wrote it, but if you're going to write up such specific attributions, you need to name the source or the credibity is seriously in question. And when you get a story like this with so much juice to it, you have to ask yourself "why are they telling me this?" before you commit to ink. That's an editor's job.I don't see anything here about the "gang of four" pushing anything, the way it's written seems to suggest that Spitzer tried to get a large number of people to run with him and was turned down by everybody. It also APPEARS that he wanted some black person to run with him, but not one of Hillary's people which has been very much in keeping with NYC politics as she's not one of Judy Hope's minions. Dunno what to make of the story though ... it seems to be saying things that are not supported by the actualities offered and seems to be hanging Dave as well as Spitzer on inuendo. I'll have to pass on an opinion here ... not enough evidence. :( |

I was over the top when I read about McCall calling it a dream ticket. What a joke. I'll tell you what if Spitzer was set on having a black running mate, which I am TOTALLY against if that is the only reason... why not Floyd Flake? I know he has some issues that have recently come out, but this guy is a proven leader and he is a fair man. |

I'm still trying to figure out what he was thinking. Before he got stupid, Spitzer has a good reputation and didn't need to pander in the first place. Sadly, lots of media types, in search of their check, tend to make shit up. :(McCall was also a very good choice but got torpedoed when he sought the office. He did DAMNED good as state Comptroller though ... and as to Dave, it's genuinely sad what happened. But does show what kind of snakes the NYC democrats are. :( |

He did make lots of enemies on Wall Street and It is hard for me to beleive that daddy Spitz did not know Bernie Madoff. I also have an issue with the way Spitz lied about his campaign cash. Spitz won attorney general in 1998 because Al Damato called Chuck E a Putz. This turned off many voters. THey simply voted for the ticket. Spitz and Chuck E won over Al & Dennis Vacco. George Pataki was the only survivor of that race.WHen MCCall ran in 2002 and Cuomo was also running, Charlie "Cash Cow" Rangle said it was racist for Cuomo to run! He said McCall paid his dues and he should be the nominee. I was pissed abotu that as well. McCall should have only been the nominee if he was the best candidate; not because he was black and paid his dues. |

I think NY got tired of D'Amato anyway, though that didn't help. As to Spitzer, wasn't terribly impressed and I forget who ran against him now but he was even LESS impressive. Wasn't a good year for choices. As to Carl McCall, I was extremely impressed by his abilities, I don't pay any attention to the various granstandings. I would have voted for him anyway regardless. And don't get me started on Andrew and the rest of Judy Hope's chippendales. :) |

Faso was my former Assemblyman from town of Bethlehem. Total asshole. Seriously. :(This is a guy that had constituents arrested for nothing more than calling his office with questions and complaints. Seriously. Here's just ONE happy constituent's story ... http://troypolitics.blogspot.com/2006/04/signs.html Part two http://troypolitics.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html |

Faso was among the absolute worst of assemblyholes, and did shit for his district. But now you know why Bruno and Pataki swept him under the rug the way they did. And why folks up here will play whackamole on his ass anytime he shows his mug.But calling him an asshole is an insult to assholes everywhere. :) |
