The Mayor can support any candidate of his choosing.<br /><br />However, when the Mayor decides to make his choice public by using the Uncle Sam parade as a tool to bring a candidate to our city and issue a public endorsement of that candidate, he is then open to criticism.<br /><br />As a public official, I have a right to take issue with any action that the Mayor takes, in his capacity as an elected official, with which I disagree.<br /><br />I disagree strongly with using a parade that is meant to celebrate Uncle Sam as a venue for issuing an endorsement to a very divisive and demeaning individual.<br /><br />I disagree with Troy's Republican party, by their presence at the endorsement, giving their implicit approval of this candidate. The Republicans that I know in Troy are decent people who do not support racist and factious rhetoric.<br /><br />I disagree with a candidate who portrays himself as an outsider, as an everyday person, and as an angry citizen, when he is actually a government insider and a multi-millionaire. Heck, he received a $1.4 million tax break for a project that created only a single job. Most of us won't see $1.4 million in our entire lives, but this guy took $1.4 million of taxpayer money - a government handout - and what did Buffalo get for it? One new job.<br /><br />Where are all the true conservatives screaming about "corporate welfare"? Why would any of us be fooled by a political game player trying to pretend that he is not part of the system?<br /><br />I don't fault the Mayor for endorsing him. Harry might not have known about Paladino's checkered past - the racist remarks, the sexist and perverted e-mails, the government handouts, the buy-out of politicians, the malfunctioning moral compass.<br /><br />However, we now know these things, and Bill Dunne and I call on him to rescind the endorsement and reject this man's politics of division. Anger is not a platform, and while anger resonates with voters, it does nothing to correct the problems that our state faces.kzalewskihttp://kenzalewski.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850314207711173853.post-2848994743385856692010-09-24T16:38:16.133-04:002010-09-24T16:38:16.133-04:00Really have to love these two clowns....Where were...Really have to love these two clowns....Where were they when Eliot Spitzer was ordering call girls?.....When Hevisi was doing his deeds?....When Dunne left the Dorm Authority with an agreement to never return?....When Zalewski gor a $100,000 state job without a civil service test?............Just amazing and you wonder why we are tired of politicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850314207711173853.post-18373971033077965332010-09-24T07:58:00.480-04:002010-09-24T07:58:00.480-04:00I believe the mayor has every right to support the...I believe the mayor has every right to support the candidate of his choice. It is his personal choice. Simply because he is supporting this candidate doesn't mean every real citizen of Troy must. These two councilmen should focus on promoting the candidate of their own chosing rather than using this as an opportunity to attack Mayor Tutunjian.The Dartladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942494896566155308noreply@blogger.com
