This is one of the best NY Times articles I’ve read in years, a behind the scenes description of how Cuomo, working with some Wall Street conservatives who donate to politics, as well as a tightly organized coalition of gay rights organizations, got the issue through. I am putting this up mainly for those who have some aspiration of accomplishing anything through politics. It’s always the same. You have to build a coalition to stand up against the chickenshits who will only vote the party line. Then, it’s history. I mean that literally: all the former opponents disappear into the mists of time, the better to be forgotten.
Yeah for NY and all. Eric, you nailed it again politically.
The children playing the political game of power have gone too far, mom and dad. Can someone please correct them? That is how I see the world of politics. Children in a play-box slinging sand around and not a parent in sight to reign them in. And I am the passerby who just walks past and shakes her head thinking, “Hey, it aint my kid.” I feel I cannot do a damn thing about it.
