1. Andrew Cuomo did the same thing in NY. And everyone thinks

he's just wonderful these days.

2. Some people just can't live without a Leader, can they? :/ nt

3. You miss the point completely

People don't think he's wonderful, they think what he accomplished was wonderful, and the way he spoke about it. Very different things. Just as criticism of a policy is not personal criticism, praise for a policy change is not praise for the person but for the policy. This 'you hate him' or 'you think he's wonderful' stuff is for schoolyards and Valentine cards.

6. I guess you missed the thread where DUers wanted him to

run for POTUS in 2012.

4. Not me. I don't trust Cuomo as far as I can throw ten of his monkey ass.

His accomplishment just upgrades him above waste of skin that brings shame upon a greater father.

Anyone with sense knows the corporations and the wealthy pulling the strings will give on social issues when they become an ineffective tool to rile up regressive fuckwits to fight against their needs.

Get at me we he sides with the workers, the poor, and the environment and against capital.

5. That sucks pretty hard.

It's indefensible.

7. Yeah he almost fecked up McNerney's run back when

Rahm had power play in Washington. Thankfully the grassroots people in the Valley had already set things in play for McNerney and made it clear to Emanuel. He did back off but not without pushing a little.
