Faso says Spitzer feels entitled to governor post
To many New Yorkers, Eliot Spitzer is known as a crusading attorney general who won a series of legal victories against Wall Street’s investment houses.
John Faso, the Republican candidate for governor, has a different impression of his Democratic opponent that he’s trying to share with state voters.
“There is an incredible arrogance about Spitzer that he is not going to tell people where he stands on issues until after he is elected,” Faso said during an interview last week with The Journal News.
“There’s no coronation in America,” Faso continued a few moments later. “And there shouldn’t be. And it doesn’t matter if you are the silver-spoon attorney general. It matters where you stand on the issues, and you owe it to the people to tell them where you stand.”
Faso’s portrayal of Spitzer as the presumptuous product of a privileged upbringing has emerged as a dominant theme of his campaign. In recent appearances and repeatedly during his interview, Faso described the attorney general as a candidate who feels entitled to the governorship and is not willing to offer specifics to voters.
“I’m the underdog in this race. I understand that,” Faso said at one point. “My father was the janitor of the Catholic school I went to. He wasn’t a multimillion-dollar real estate operator. So I’m used to being the underdog in these kinds of contests.”
Spitzer talks and talks and says nothing, his commercials say nothing.
I only know that his number one issue to act on Jan 1st is gay marriage. I think there is much more important issues out there to look at Jan 1..
