D'Amato pushes knife further into the gut of the NYGOP

[YRABNNRM]

I just read on the MSNBC ticker that former Senator Al D'Amato(R) is "poised" to endorse Eliot Spitzer for governor.

Ed Koch-style turncoat?

Now you know how it feels.

The NYDem's aren't on the verge of have their casket closed though, the last thing the NYGOP needs now is the big names endorsing the other side.

It makes little difference at this point.  No matter who Al D'Amato endorsed, the NYDems will have a Hugo Chavez style monopoly on government by the end of the decade.

Oh I agree. It's just a sign that, unfortunatly, the NYGOP is completely divided, torn and on the verge of destruction. Next to Pataki and Giuliani, D'Amato was one of the biggest names of the NYGOP even if he was voted out.

Eh, no matter how far the knife goes into a ded man (or party in this case ), hes still dead.

This is coming from someone who considers themselves a member of the Socialist Party....

True, but we'll be getting a seat this year (under the Indpendent banner, unfortunately), so dont count us out yet.

Somehow I don't see a massive influx of Socialist voters in the future.

Somehow I dont see a massive influx of NYGOP voters in the future either.

The difference is that I admitted that my party is dead.

D'Amato's endorsement makes no difference.

Sptizer should stick to fighting crime.

His social views will lead New York only further down the road to moral bankruptcy.

Of course, I can't say Weld's social views are any better.

What a pathetic choice New Yorker's face.

Both leading candidates, Spitzer and Weld, are morally bankrupt.

Ahh you mean equality

No, actually, I mean moral bankruptcy.  From what I understand, both favor same sex marriage.  Marriage is not an equality issue.  Marriage is not a right.  Marriage is a privilege, for one man and one woman.

Might I remind you, before you go and accuse me of being narrow minded, that even the 2004 Democratic ticket, John Kerry, the great liberal, and John Edwards, were, and still are, as far as I know, both opposed to same sex marriage.

Same sex marriage shouldn't be an issue in NY. If any candidate came out against it they would be slaughtered. The GOP needs to base their campaigns on economic issues or else they'll get nowhere in NY.

Senator Pothole should be ashamed if he sales out the NYGOP, NY Conservative Party, and the NY Right to Life Party which stuck by himthrough thick and thin.

Fcuk the last two. It's the NYGOP who needs his help, not the joke parties.

Without those "joke parties" no Republican has won statewide in nearly 30 years, particularly Senator D'Amato who would have LOST each time (with the possible exception of 1986) without those votes.

They lost their purpose in NY a long time ago.
