Friends Scared about Paladino? Tell Them This.

Posted on November 1, 2010 by iwilder

Every progressive will prefer the program of Howie Hawkins and the Green Party to the conservative economic agenda of Andrew Cuomo (D-I-WFP). But many people vote their fears rather than their values and hope. Polls show that Paladino has no chance of winning. Every time he talks he alienates more voters. He trails Cuomo by […]

Green Party New York: Cuomo the Second Tea Party Candidate

Posted on October 21, 2010 by iwilder

Any doubts about this claim were dashed at the Hofstra […]

Green Party New York: Hawkins Calls on New Yorkers to Reject Bigotry of Carl Paladino

Posted on October 12, 2010 by iwilder

Carl Paladino’s statements yesterday against homosexuals is just the most recent example of his bigotry, racism, sexism, zenophobia, and general mean spirit. Paladino’s attacks may mobilize a small segment of the voters who believe their economic and social problems are the fault of struggling minority groups instead of the corporate elites with the real wealth […]

IW: First they all seems clueless to how misogynistic the phrase “Man Up” is. Second, they seem clueless to the concept of democracy. The media’s job is to be a marketplace of ideas, not merely a marketplace. it’s not supposed to be a playground for the 2 riches kids. And as much as they try […]

NY Guv cand Hawkins (G) To Paladino(R): Debate the Real Progressive

Posted on September 17, 2010 by iwilder
