NY Governor Debate: Rent is Too Damn High

We all know crazy Carl wont win. But wouldn't it be funny if the "rent is too dam high" party guy got more votes than him?

hahaha. this guy is awesome.

I would have liked to see Carl and Cuomo debate only the issues relevant to the state of New York. I don't think many voters really know where either candidate really stands except on hot button issues. It would have at least stimulated a little further discussion and forced these guys to offer up more of a credible plan.

This is happening all over the country where fear and pandering has replaced serious thought. Voters driven by misplaced anger buy into simplistic ideas usually blaming government, the poor, foreigners, gays, blacks or some other group with little wealth or political power.

A person would have had to been in a coma for the past few years not to know that it was the right with their obsessive hatred of government regulation and oversight along with greed of big business, the wealthy,(and many middle class) that almost destroyed our economy.

If the right wants to be taken seriously they need to move past the same tired old arguments. Tax cuts for the wealthy and less government has proven to be a disaster for most of America.

I liked Warren Redlich, the Libertarian Candidate. He's got my vote.

The dude is a Vietnam Vet and has THREE BSMs. Not to mention he has the most wicked facial hair since the 1860's. Still, it'd be nice if he wasn't acting like upstate was the NVA. Might not win, but props for the service. Go Army.

I wish his t-shirt prices weren't so damn high

Blackrock, WTF are you talking about? You're a Cuomo voter without even thinking twice.

As if there's ANYTHING Carl could say or do that would make you vote for him.

And that's fine, honestly, but at least be honest about it. Don't sell us your BS line about want a real debate on only "relevant" issues (who the hell are you to say what's relevant or not?).

You want frigging detail? Cuomo has a 200 PAGE BOOK detailing all kinds of stuff that sounds good and might work if he can get anything done.

Blaming they mysterious "right" for all your problems is just pathetic.

Funnier then anything I've seen on SNL in years.

This was a joke. This state is a joke.

90 seconds to answer, 30 seconds for rebuttal, one word answer on gay marriage? Seriously?

Cuomo sounded like the same old, same old Albany politician.
YUK!

rb09 - a 90 second answer and 30 second rebuttal isn't all that uncommon in debates. the "one-word" answer on gay marriage was only done because time was running out.

i thought it was a good debate and was pleased that all 7 candidates were represented. some people consider the "fringe" candidates "crazy", but i fail to see how they're any crazier than cuomo or paladino. i'm glad they were there to say their part and think everyone had something worthwhile to contribute to the discussion.

ideally, i would have liked to have seen longer responses as well, but it was already a 90 minute program as is. a second debate would be welcome, but i doubt we'll get it.

Enjoy.

you're all a bunch of reverse racists...Obama is a failure of monumental proportions, you realize it and so do we the people...NOVEMBER 2 WILL CHANGE THIS COUNTRY FOR THE BETTER!!!

The debate and its discontents are further evidence that we are indeed in a 'race to the bottom.' The rule makers who allowed the debate to be loaded up with ciphers and also-rans did a grave disservice to the voters of New York as the discussion did nothing to illuminate the grave issues which face our state; we instead had to suffer a sideshow populated by half-wits and dullards.

I personally don't like Cuomo much but with his "same old same old" type politics he probably wouldn't make things much worse; Paladino on the other hand is by his own words "not a politician" which could be refreshing if he weren't such a hate filled crazy. There is no doubt that he is a good business man but with the exception of a few, that doesn't make you good for government. I have no respect for anyone that would throw their beliefs and morals out the window too make a buck ie, profiting from homosexual clubs. Normally i don't think his infidelity should matter, but when you claim to be a "good catholic" or morally just then your opening the door for accountability. After all isn't he the one who keeps saying he wants albany to be held accountable? Well cotinuing to respond with i'm a straight shooter or not apologizing your idiotic comments is not justified, its classless and moronic.
