After citizens united etc it is imperative that working people create an autonomous party--the other two cant resist the money. Insofar as we fail to do so we get to watch andy the clown dance the sad spectacle of our passivity...it is a costly showAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-2757683102103478852015-09-04T15:16:02.332-04:002015-09-04T15:16:02.332-04:00This is Andrew Cuomo, version 2.0. Unfortunately, ...This is Andrew Cuomo, version 2.0. Unfortunately, as much as many parents across the state know that Cuomo's education policies have failed, there are quite a few who STILL (despite all the mounting evidence against Cuomo) believe Cuomo's rhetoric. I've said this before and it needs to be repeated: when are a few responsible, young, energetic and committed journalists going to start exposing all the B.S. and lies to expose Cuomo for what he really is: a political sellout, a bully and a money-loving sham of a governor? The reason he embraces charter schools is simple: $$$ and support from NYC's poorest who see charter schools as a quick solution to a problem that actually stems from disproportionate and system-wide reductions in education spending for many years. If Cuomo and his handlers were REALLY smart, they'd only take a look to the west and the rapid demise of another buffoon masquerading as the governor of New Jersey. These two goons (Cuomo and Christie) are despised and have so poisoned their own chances of success that all we can do is count the days remaining before they're dumped by the electorate of each state.<br /><br />The other issue is that Merryl Tisch is still "hiding" behind the curtain. Cuomo is keeping her on hand so that he has a "whipping girl" to blame so that when NY-SED collapses in the near future, Cuomo will have someone else to blame. <br /><br />So, Cuomo, Tisch and Elia represent the old, dysfunctional Albany despite the fact that the tables are slowly turning. When the Lederman case is finally adjudicated and we have what I think will be a certain degree of satisfaction, watch as the ship empties of "all the rats" and the finger pointing begins in earnest. Cuomo's press conference to announce that "gee, Common Core is a mess in NYS" come too late. The saps will believe what they want to: that Cuomo is innocent but, the proof will be in the fast retreat to a higher ground. <br /><br />I think we're in for a really good show, folks.
