Grisanti Lies
By Jul TEANewYork
"Marie and Charles" (whose names have been changed) have dumped TEANewYork for our refusal to give Mark Grisanti a pass over his reneging on his commitment to defend marriage. Marie says "Mark is a good man and no I don't agree with everything he does or think, its called individualism," and went so far as to complain to the Tea Party Patriots (!) that TNY is being too tough on Mark, apparently because we've determined that he needs to be replaced. I explained that this is not about individualism, this is about representing his constituency. You and I have the luxury of individualism, but as an elected representative, Mark does not, at least not without facing opposition. That's just the reality of political life. As much as we like Mark, forgive him his indiscretion, and appreciate him individually, we feel we deserve representatives who honor their campaign commitments. Or maybe we don't, if Marie and Charles' opinion is any gauge.
We are about Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets. A vote in favor of same-sex marriage represents the exact opposite of what we stand for. Adding a whole new host of beneficiaries to the hard earned income of the most heavily taxed citizens in the nation, in the middle of an economic crisis, is NOT FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. In addition, we believe Mark Grisanti and the other Senators that voted in favor of same-sex marriage exceeded the limits of their constitutional authority. We strive to obtain more conservative representation to reverse the rapid socio-economic slide downward, and Mark has demonstrated he is not up to the task. If we don't stand on our stated goals, what exactly should our purpose be? What say you?

Bloomberg, who was a strong proponent of the new law, and $10,000 from Colorado resident Tim Gill, who heads a group that has promoted gay marriage laws here and in other states.

Wait. Aren't there limits to how much individuals and corporations can contribute? There always has been, but I guess the rules have changed. ~ Jul
~ Oh I'm sure he made his vote on the research he did and not the money he collected. Sure fill your own coffers Mr. Grisanti. You will be voted out in 2012. ~ C4F
