Carl Paladino is currently opportunistically supporting many of our traditional Conservative values. He has captured the legitimate anger at a dysfunctional Albany. Since we believe in life, the 2" Amendment, lower taxes, less government, etc., and we are anti-Albany, we hoped we could support Paladino, Normally, he would receive the Conservative endorsement. However, he is a disgusting, flawed, alleged Conservative. His prior personal conduct, especially his e-mails (from 2007-2009), are very troubling. The e-mails are very disappointing and even repugnant! He sent them to hundreds of individuals and commented favorably on them. ‘Therefore, he promoted the e-mails. Paladino confessed to his outrageous conduct and his defense was: “Everyone does it’??? The Conservatives | have talked to are not into vile RACISM (“run n-----s, run”), HARD CORE PORNOGRAPHY (Linda Lovelace, “a keeper”, “This is talent?”, etc.), and BESTIALITY (a horse having sex with a woman — “easy big fella”). Paladino is a disgusting bigot! ‘Mr. Paladino captured the support of the Christian, Conservative, anti- government Tea Party movement. Paladino was forced to admit to an extra marital affair with an employee and a child born out of wedlock. Look at the e-mails. Christian?

He recently begged and threatened to obtain $1.4 million New York State tax credit to create jobs. It created 1 job! Anti-Government? Paladino was a long time enrolled Democrat (until 2005) and a big time Democratic donor. (Hillary, Massa, Slaughter, Schumer, Spitzer, Kerry, etc.) Now, he is a Conservative? Mr. Paladino lacks the requisite judgment and character to be our Conservative candidate for Governor. Please view the e-mails which he promoted (http:/Avnymedianet/paladino) and the facts as set forth above. If you sti)) like Mr. Paladino, then maybe you are not a Conservative!
