From one of Prince Andrew’s orifices<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/a> says the current \u201cschism\u201d in the state Republican party<\/a> is a smaller version of the split causing so much damage in Washington, D.C., and that \u201cconservative Republicans \u2026 have no place in the state of New York, because that\u2019s not who New Yorkers are.\u201d\u00a0 In conversation with Susan Arbetter on \u201cThe Capitol Pressroom\u201d<\/a> Friday morning, Cuomo said: … “You\u2019re seeing that play out in New York. \u2026 The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act \u2014 it was voted for by moderate Republicans<\/a> who run the Senate<\/a>!\u00a0 Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves.\u00a0 Who are they?\u00a0 Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay?\u00a0 Is that who they are?\u00a0 Because if that\u2019s who they are and they\u2019re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that\u2019s not who New Yorkers are …” …”

Several things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’m not a conservative.<\/li>\n
  2. The NRA Training Counselors<\/a> who taught the pistol instructor class I took were lesbians.<\/li>\n
  3. Andrew is widely believed to be the one behind the\u00a0“<\/em>Vote for Cuomo, not the Homo<\/em><\/a>“<\/em> slogan.<\/li>\n
  4. The ~25 point drop in Cuomo’s approval rating cannot be explained by “extreme conservatives” alone.<\/li>\n
  5. Democrats, not Republicans, are the ones who’ve taken Cuomo off their list<\/a> of presidential candidates.<\/li>\n
  6. Andrew didn’t learn a thing from his old man<\/a>, who said back in ’85<\/a> that\u00a0opponents of New York’s mandatory seat-belt law were ”N.R.A.<\/a> hunters who drink beer, don’t vote and lie to their wives about where they were all weekend.”<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
