Probably the worst democratic governor, he should switch party.

I'm pretty sure the GOP would welcome a staunch liberal in social affairs.

He's fiscally conservative, socially liberal, it's the definition of the rockefeller republicans from the Northeast, isn't it? Snowe, Collins and Chafee voted against the Partial Birth Ban, which was supported by a vast majority of Americans. And they had no problems to be "Republicans" at the same time.
So yeah, he should switch party .

They had no problems being Republicans because they always were Republicans.

Yes, but ideologically, Cuomo wouldn't have problems for being a republican!

If his father was the former Republican Governor of New York who almost ran for President against a Democratic president....

Republicans who join the Democrats tend to survive. Ask Parker Griffith how it works out for Democrats who become Republicans.

Sure, I'll go back to 1994 when things were radically differant and ask him how it works out. And then I will come back to 2014, and see how it works for Andrew Cuomo.

But Chairmansanchez, of course he won't switch party because he isn't stupid. But if he does that one day, I'm sure there wouldn't any problems for the NY gop. New York isn't Alabama.

#1. The NY GOP may not be the Alabama GOP, but it still won't run Cuomo. Ever. This is the same Governor who said conservatives are not welcome in New York.
#2. If Cuomo won't switch to the GOP, why are you calling for him to do it? He was nominated by the voters in the Democratic primary because they thought he best embodied the NY Democratic Party.

But I know Cuomo won't switch party. But I definitely hate this guy because he always trolls his party and governs as fiscal conservative. Do you understand?

But the voters of his party picked him. You can't say he is not a Democrat when most Democrats approve of him. That would be like me saying Mitt Romney is not a real Republican because he is not Ron Paul.

[Oakvale]

Windjammer I get someone thinking Cuomo is a DINO or whatever but how do you justify holding that opinion while also supporting Hanabusa, Mary Landrieu, Mark Pryor etc?

Mark Pryor and Mary Landrieu: Have you seen their states? It's Arkansas and Louisiana and it's basically the best the democrats can have here (especially Landrieu). Cuomo is from New York, who is definitely a solid blue state, has trolled the NY state senate democrats, and is supporting tax cuts. So yes, he's definitely not a typical DINO blue dog conservative, but much more DINO socially liberal democrat, like Patrick Murphy, Kyrsten Synema, Hashemite and you.
And for Hanabusa, once again she's not really a DINO.

What on earth is this? Am I considered some kind of closeted right-winger, moderate hero or neoliberal or something now? I've been called lots of things by all kinds of people, but I think this is a new one. Tell me more.

Wasn't Cuomo unopposed in the primary?

[Zioneer]

A great governor. The only thing standing between Albany and the Republican army.

You can't be serious. New York is tremendously Democratic, and they could have a far more progressive/liberal governor than Cuomo.

Anyway, Cuomo is an HP, not only for his policies, but for his desire to have the Republicans control the state senate.

FF.  The True Leftist BS I see on every thread about him only improves my opinion of him, if anything.

FF.  The True Leftist BS I see on every thread about him only improves my opinion of him, if anything.

Cuomo equated his opposition to raising taxes on millionaires with his dad's opposition to the death penalty. I really don't think it's "True Leftist BS" to call out him for being a right-winger, because that's exactly what he is, regardless of how nice he is to gay people or women or minorities. He's a Rockefeller Republican.

You know better than to use that phrase. Rockefeller was far too authoritarian.

You explained that in entirely the wrong way, such that I have to question whether you understand the concept.

Hash, I think what they mean by "social liberal DINO" is that, while he's cool with marijuana and the gays, he's too fiscally conservative for the true leftists on here.

There.
