Gov. Cuomo: Pro-life people not welcome in New York

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo believes that pro-life activists along with anti-gay activists, and supporters of the Second Amendment, are not welcome in his state.

During a radio interview on Friday, Cuomo pointed out that Republicans were in the midst of a schism, where conservatives worked against moderate Republicans.

"Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves," he said. "Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are."

State Republicans blasted his comments, the New York Post reported, even as the governor walked them back on Sunday in an open letter to the newspaper.

He's Grandstanding and his opponents are doing it back.

Safe to say that if you're a pro-life, racist, homophobic, gun nut, religious extremist you can go to New York and the Governor can do nothing about it.

Moving along.

Precisely. I think his message is that New Yorkers want their state to move forward in time, not backwards.

Politicians do tend to go after the people that are most likely to get them elected. Wait, sorry, ONLY democrats do that. The right is all about principles, morals, and Jebus.

That has been done already, back in the 60's, before the Civil Rights movement...

Indeed. Those wanting to move backwards in time should go to South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi or Louisiana. Arkansas might be a good choice, too. But they probably won't find happiness in NY.

Yay, we didn't make the list!

Apparently not many people are finding happiness in NY, considering the number of people who have packed their bags and headed where?

South.
