Danny Hakim over at the New York Times wrote a piece last week about Governor David Paterson’s remarks made before the Greater New York Hospital’s Association. Here’s snipet of the story:
But in remarks afterward, he also took a swipe at the millions of dollars the hospital association and its close ally, the hospital workers union S.E.I.U./1199, have been plowed into Senate Republican coffers in recent years.
“I think that they make their own determinations as to where they make contributions and they can do it any way they like, but boy, it sure would be funny if they keep doing it and then there’s a change,” he said, referring to a potential change in control of the Senate, “and they come asking me about it, I’ll say, ‘That’s really not my problem.’”
Is that a veiled threat from Mr. Nice Guy Paterson? You bet it is. My recollection is that union’s don’t take too kindly to being bullied and threatened by pretty much anyone, especially some high and mighty wanna be tough guy politician.
So, what the Democrats are saying is, if you support democracy in this state, we’re gonna come after you if we ever take over everything? A resounding plug for letting the Democrats steal the State Senate this year.
I love the Liberal/Progressive Elite. We’re the party of compassion, acceptance and understanding…
Unless you don’t bow to our will. Then we’ll threaten you and make your life miserable until you conform.
I thought this type of crap was over with the exodus of discraced Liberal/Progressive former Governor F*cking Steamroller Eliot “Go Hookers!” Spitzer. Apparently for the Democrats, sadly it’s not.
We expected more from you Mr. Governor.
