Please provide proof that rent is too high.

This guy is hilarious. If I didn't need to ensure Cuomo over Paladino I'd vote for that guy for the lulz.

I forgot you were a New Yorker, Joe. Lucky bastard.

I think Cuomo has a 30% polling lead over Paladino... something like 55%-25%. You could still vote for McMillan and not hurt your intended guy.

It's the name of the Jimmy McMillan's political party.

The polling varies and it has unfortunately gotten much closer in recent weeks. The last one I saw was something like 49-43 (+/- 3.6%), though apparently after doing a quick google a new poll shows Cuomo over Paladino by 37 points.


Still, you never know what the actual turnout is and I'd be kicking myself every day if I voted for the Rent Is Too Damn High party and Paladino got one over on Cuomo. In case you don't know, Carl is "mad as hell" and some new yorkers are mad, too!

"As a karate expert, I will not talk about anyone up here because our children cannot afford to live anywhere, nowhere, there's nowhere to go."
It's like he combined three sentences into one...

I like how he incorporated his mastery of karate into it too xD.

He'll protect us from paying heightened rent threats with Karate!

This man is marvelous.

I love his beard.

He's got my vote, the rent is too damn high.

Listen! Someone's child's stomach just growled! Did you hear it? Gotta listen like me!

The rent is too damn high!

He can't do any worse than Paterson. Actually he probably can't do much worse than Cuomo either.

At least he'll lower the rent. Can't complain about that.

Wow, didn't know much people knew about New York's affairs on BYOND. Thought me and a very select few were just it.

I thought most people consider Paladino self-destructing anyways?

I've heard he's had some problems in that area, yes, but I'd vote for a trained monkey before I'd put another Cuomo in the Governor's mansion. The dysfunctional state legislature bears a lot of the blame for what's wrong with New York, but Mario Cuomo really did tremendous damage during his time in office. I don't care if Paladino is bad with PR or a loose cannon; Cuomo is a known quantity and as insider as it gets. Better the devil I don't know.

[edit]
Nevermind about training the monkey.

Why aim so low? Jimmy McMillan for president. Most badass karate expert I know.
