17. I do not believe that blanket condemnation is in order for NY politicians.

Yes, there are some who are, shall we say, dubious. but to do a broadbrush is just inappropriate. I have full confidence in Senator Gillibrand, whom I will proudly vote for again. I have her bumpersticker prominently displayed in the rear window of my pickup truck. And while after Jan 1st, I will no longer be in Cong. Tonko's district, I am fully confident that as a member of the Progressive Caucus, he is not a Wall Street flunky. Nor was Maurice Hinchey, who is retiring.
We are now in a district that come Jan 1st will be either the current occupant, Gibson, a Teabagger, or Julian Schreibman, another Progressive who is fully endorsed by Hinchey.
