Rob Astorino made a good choice in picking Chris Moss. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind:
“… In his speech to the GOP delegates here in Westchester County, Moss pledged to push for a repeal of the SAFE Act, a 2013 gun control law that is deeply opposed by firearms owners and the base of the Republican Party in New York …”
Even better, Team Astorino seems to be distancing themselves from the party-hacks and RINOs who want to go along with Gov. Cuomo rather than offering a competing vision:
“… Another audio clip in the Republican video was Cuomo’s impassioned defense of his gun-control law a month after the Newtown tragedy. The intended effect of the video is to make Cuomo sound like a ranting, rabid anti-gun advocate …”
This shows they actually went out and asked real people what they thought about the issues, as opposed to the Long Island Senate RINOs who vote according to the biased Siena polling they conduct.
“The intended effect of the video is to make Cuomo sound like a ranting, rabid anti-gun advocate . . . ”
That claim ignores the fact that it is Andrew Cuomo himself who makes himself sound like the ranting, rabid (and unthinking) anti-gun advocate that he is because he rabidly rants against guns like the bellowing, incompetent, child of privilege, buffoon that he is.
We have a ridiculous, junk governor who is such an embarrassment to all of us in New York State that he needs to go and be forgotten, and we have a perfectly competent candidate, Astorino, who needs to replace him. When wisdom is brought to bear, it is not a difficult choice.
