SD-32: Diaz Endorses Padavan, Monserrate, and Huntley

by: BingChester

Wed Jul 28, 2010 at 15:47:05 PM EDT


The continued logic has been that Rev. Ruben Diaz isn't such a bad Democrat.  Sure he was the main leader against marriage equality.  Sure he supported and supports Monserrate and Espada no matter their treachery or corruption.  But in the end, he's still a Democrat on most issues, right?  If this sounds a little bit like Joe "With Us on Everything But the War" Lieberman, then you're not going to be surprised at the punchline.  In a letter released today relating to marriage equality, Diaz Sr. officially crossed party lines and endorsed Frank Padavan over Tony Avella.  And it was all over a single issue; marriage equality.

Senators Shirley Huntley, Frank Padavan and Hiram Monserrate were instrumental in joining me to defeat the gay marriage bill in the New York State Senate.  Today the State of New York does not have legalized gay marriage and we have to praise God and thank Senators Shirley Huntley, Frank Padavan and Hiram Monserrate.

They all risked their chances of being elected in order to take this stand.

We in the Christian community - and all God-fearing people - owe them our support, our respect and our help.

The homosexual community has targeted the three of them and put candidates - funded with money from the homosexual community - so their candidate can vote for gay marriage next year.

Therefore, I am counting on all of you to not only pray for Senators Shirley Huntley, Frank Padavan and Hiram Monserrate, but to also offer them all of the support and help that you can give during their re-election efforts or elections to another position.

As a State Senator, a Pastor, and a Christian, I need Senators Shirley Huntley, Frank Padavan and Hiram Monserrate back in the New York State legislature for next year when the gay marriage issue will take top priority in New York State. We do not have the luxury of losing these three legislators who have fought so hard for our family, moral and traditional values in the State legislature.

That's right folks.  Diaz Sr. supporting and endorsing a corrupt, expelled Senator and a crotchety anti-progress Republican going up against a strong, reform-oriented Democrat.  In one of the best races in the state, in a year where redistricting and future control of the Senate is on the line, one of our 32 members of the State Senate caucus crosses over and gives his full support and blessings to Frank Padavan.

Exactly what are we getting out of Diaz again?

Why stop there? (0.00 / 0)
Next step for Senator Diaz will be to organize anti-Avella demonstrations in Bayside. Frank Padavan can't afford to lose any votes in his reelection bid. Albany needs to hold onto as many open minded and progressive legislators like Frank Padavan. If we could only clone the guy...

Does Sen. Diaz have a long history of undermining his own party?
