and comparing Cuomo to Christie is absurd. Christie is a radical right wing monster. His goal here in NJ is to destroy the public school system and to eliminate public and private unions. He is actively doing it daily. He has taken billions of dollars out of our schools and given it directly to his wealthy supporters. He has vowed to defund Planned Parenthood and he has demonized our teachers. The man is a personal bully and the worst thing to happen to this state since Christie Whitman sold our natural resources and clean water to the biggest polluters she could get campaign donations from.

Coumo is a centrist like the President. They are the Democrats that actually get elected. He has to be able to work with a republican majority in the State Legislature.

And it was Cuomo who force the enactment of health care provisions on the republican legislature.

And five minutes away Christie is stealing from the Middle Class... Walk away May 2012 #1
