I am voting for Paladino. I also voted for him in the primary.
Why? Because I believe in limited government, cleaning up corruption, and voting someone who is grounded in a Torah perspective on abortion and homosexuality. I hold by the shitas of HaGadol R’ Avigdor Miller, who was very clear that we cannot support politicians who oppose our pro-life values, and ipso facto, he paskened that the right party for us to vote for is the GOP. Cuomo is not only pro-abortion and pro-toeva, he also ran the most corrupt HUD under Clinton, lawsuits alleging racism and sexual harassment were filed against him (http://www.adversity.net/fed_stats/HUD/huddocs/3gaffney_cuomo.htm), and and he is all around no good, just like his father. Paladino’s remarks about the dictatorial, pro-toeva, Sheldon Silver were perfectly warranted. He never said that he hated the Jews or that all Jews were like Yemach Shemo. He said that Silver was, and this was for rhetorical fluorish. We Jews frequently insult each other as well. Insulting a very corrupt man who happens to have Jewish parents is not anti-semitism. Silver is out for himself, as evident in all of his self-serving wheeling and dealing that cost the state and city big time. We need a change in Albany, after a governor and then the inept Paterson. I wish Paladino, O’Donnell, Sharron Angle, John Gomez, Fran Becker, and all other Republicans running hatzlacha rabba.
