What Eliot Can't Do . . .

We try not to strike current politicians here, because policy and philosophy are more important, right ?

None the less, it might be the last time to be more effective with some negativity before the new Kahuna finishes taking reservations for the Pepsi Ball. elliot.jpg My favorite recollection of a NY governor was Hugh Carey after his hair turned orange. As I listen to the MSM AG debate, I shudder at the Cuomo voice coming back at me. As a lad in Middle School I joined the Conservative chorus against him because he was forcing me to use my seatbelt when I was finally old enough to drive. After that it was just waste money and try to cleverly rationalize with a uber-moralizing tone. When George came the speed limit went back up and nothing ever changed after that . . . Now here comes a new cape crusading part time King . . . Help quality people fight the system in the next four years - Vote Clifton Silberger !

Libertarians spend a lot of time organizing and presenting our ideas as rational solutions to demonstrably bad systems and schemes. We tend to focus on waste, fraud and other liberty limiting fodder foisted on us. Now there's a new scheriff coming and let's put him to the test for the next eight years - how will he rationalize the third term ? - He won't have to if Hillary is stepping down.

Here's what won't change:

1. Taxes. Somehow, somewhere the reason or why of it will include a litany of accusatoins regarding the previous administration. This is an accepted power elite ploy. Demonstrated over an over on the other side of the Red-Blue River, it is not a divide. Some immediate relief fraud might even be attempted.

2. Cost of Living. I can't imagine having to pay property tax down state. I pay as much property tax on a house my grandparents owned as they paid for it. Out of control worker's comp, huge state and local government payrolls, unions, you name it, they have control of the state now. Businesses and people are fleeing and Eliot's crusuade because they are not in the hand's of his powerful office. He can't threten to put tax payers into jail. Unless they don't pay, of course.

3. Crime - Will continue. As long as drugs are in demand they will be profitable. Entire careers and organizations depend on drug prohibition. Some of those organizations are on either side of the law. Eliot Spitzer will do nothing but continue to support this structure. He will simply mumble something about the law and take no initiative to the legislature to end this travesty. Take that to the bank.

4. The War - As governor he will have the power to control the state guard. In consultation with the two Senators from NY, he will continue to allow NY citizens take part in an unjust occupation. He'll pander to the future Hillary Solution and just be a rich boy who thinks people who get their hands dirty just need more education. Given another conflict abroad, he will do nothing if the Draft comes back. He'll increase the incentive to goto to SUNY if a deferrment is possible.

5.Education - Standardized tests will continue to rule students developing lives. The costs and frustration will only increase and deteriorate. Teacher's Union's, Regents Regimes and the attitidue that our children are chattel of the state will continue. Charter Schools will be a side track debate and vouchers will be in hostile denial.

6. Democracy - Eliot will make some token play at straightening out the electronic systems and we'll end up using the mechanical ones until my toddlers can vote. Eliot will NEVER consider ballot access. Various individuals seeking office shall always be regulated to the behaving amongst parties. This forced philosophy to participate will never have an existential moment commuting between his Columbia County home and the new mansion in Albany. The forces of Gotham will assure no attempt tp provide the voters with the tools of iniative or referendum. At least John Faso would consider it . . .
