Pataki Enters Prez Race
In a four-minute campaign video, Pataki says “it is time to stand up, protect our freedom and take back this country.”
“If we are to flourish as a people, we have to fall in love with America again,” he says in the video, which features images of the Freedom Tower and the 9/11 memorial in New York City.
His personal website, which sports a new “Pataki for President” banner, emphasizes that he’ll place “people over politics.”
Pataki, who served as the three-term governor of New York, is viewed as an extreme longshot for the nomination, with little name recognition outside his home state.
On the other hand, maybe boring is what the hypercaffeinated GOP crowd needs. The NY Times has a summary of his positions on the issues here.

NY’s worst “do nothing” Guber refused to rebuild “the Freedom Tower and the 9/11 memorial” on hallow ground. Because his supporters claimed ‘Ghosts can’t enter heaven without passing through a church on the WTC site!’
Needless to say Pataki’s loons were ignorant that NY’s oldest Trinity (George Washington’s) church is 10 feet from the WTC site. Round the clock, 6 days per week WTC rebuilding began only upon Governor Spitzer’s inauguration.

Greasing palms is the only thing this man understands.
Plenty of room in the back of the car George.

These two statements automatically disqualify him and anyone who agrees with these satements…
“take back this country.”
“If we are to flourish as a people, we have to fall in love with America again”
All this means is, us whities need to resume leadership and be the guide in our diverse country, because this black man has really messed us up. He got us into wars without reason and he tanked the economy, put me in office and I will take us back to the good days of “W”, and better yet Regan.

Heather at C&L on Pataki’s sweat-drenched announcement: “It was so bad that even one of Fox’s guests on Outnumbered said the guy
looked like he was standing in front of a Methadone clinic.” http://crooksandliars.com/2015/05/remember-time-george-pataki-got-owned-live
