too many in the new york senate are acting like children throwing temper tantrums and most need to be thrown out on their ass.

far more respect and honor comes from the new york assembly. at least they had the courage to vote either way on the gay marriage bill instead of acting like pissed off brats in 3rd grade.

Thank you so much for uploading this. I have been trying to understand what has been happening, and it's difficult without actually seeing it.

Victory for Liberty! finally we can restore some constitutional law and begin to remove power from the democrat tyranny that has plagued your poor state...

Golisano just paid off Espada and Monserate. His Plan worked for 1 month until the Dems bought back Espada by offering him Majority leader.

This act has kept the senate on strike for a month and it's still going on........they are holding up critical budget bills...........and they are causing the city to lay people off.

Both sides have been so childish and they should be ashamed of themselves; being more hungry for power than they are concerned about getting their work done.

Both the Republicans & Democrats have been absolute idiots in this mess...........

but at least they are withholding their paychecks.

no work, no pay.

Did anyone listen to what Golisano is saying?! He is for term limits. This guy is not a power monger. That is why the Dem's had a fit! The ones in power have been in power over 20YEARS! TOOOOOO LONG for anyone; Rep., Dem., Independent or Libertarian!

Lol. Fair enough on your conclusion about user "piscesrising2006." But truthfully, I feel he was talking about Dems actions. Though, the republicans ploy for power was an unwarranted action. If they disliked the way things were being handled, then they should have just taken a page from the Dem handbook & waited it out. Dems did it for a long enough time. Simply put, republicans didn't like being out of power, so they allied themselves with those whom they earlier on attacked vivaciously.

[AndrewDeLong]

I beg to differ. The people voted for a democratic majority. If there was going to be a dissident democrat, then he should've labeled himself a republican from the start. There is no legitimacy here. The Repubs allied themselves with a person to whom they threw countless slanderous political attacks against. They wanted power, so they simply went by any means necessary to get it, even if they put their moral creed aside. This isn't gov't, it's a farce!

[AndrewDeLong]

Tch! Whining Democrats? Try power addicted crack addict behavior republicans. The people voted democrat, even despite MASSIVE gerrymandering by republicans! So what did the people get? A ploy for power by the republicans. I thought their main creed was LESS government interference...well I guess that only applies if the people vote republican. They basically just showed all of us our votes mean shit. So yeah, you say whining democrats, I say unlawful republicans.

[Boppaloppagus]

those whining democrats make me sick....

just look at them and all of their pride, bowing out...

[policecarowner]

Golisano is a horse's ass, and all politicians in the senate should be executed, as of the latest farce of the pizza/gavel childishness. With what they make, medical, expenditures,etc., they need to be fired immediately.

[JSAJunkie]

Hehehee ... It is starting. The leftists are losing their grip! I can't wait to see where this goes ...
