We need to make Paladino and O’Donnell the manifestation of all Tea Party candidates. It is not their personal character flaw that make this the canvas, the base of the Tea Party movement. It is the type of hypocrisy that make them unfit to serve in the public interest.
We must however take it one step further. Boehner & McConnel are unfit to serve because their vendetta against the President has clouded their morality. They are delaying policies that materially affect middleclass Americans for political gain. Sadly this has likely cost the lives and wealth of many.
Enthusiasm gap is not allowed my dear PROGRESSIVES. VOTE. Vote early and take many to vote with you.

New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino found himself embroiled in controversy once again on Thursday after WNYMedia.net published a series of emails containing pornographic images reportedly forwarded by the Republican hopeful to friends and colleagues within the last several years. The messages released by the New York-based outlet contain provocative pictures of naked women in revealing positions and engaging in sexual activity. Paladino included brief notes in some instances when he blasted out the images. More than once, he wrote, "awesome," while on a different occasion he said, "for andy this is better."
The graphic emails have surfaced on the heels of Paladino sparking controversy in speaking out against marriage equality. "We must stop pandering to the pornographers and the perverts, who seek to target our children and destroy their lives," he said earlier this week.
The AP reports on the campaign’s response to the dirty messages:
Paladino spokesman Michael Caputo called the political site’s operators miscreants and notes that Democratic activists have been accused of falsifying e-mails in the past.
Caputo stated the e-mails from 2008 to January of 2010 aren’t new or relevant. He didn’t deny Paladino forwarded them.
Amid controversy swirling over a series of racist and graphic e-mails forwarded by Paladino to friends and colleagues earlier this year, the Tea Party contender said, "I’m not politically correct and never have been." He added, "I’m not perfect. But if the worst I ever did was send out some non-politically correct e-mails, my God."
HuffPost’s David Weiner reported on the e-mails, also published by WNYMedia.net, at the time:
These emails run the gamut from your standard email chain smut to greatly disturbing racist imagery. Many of the latter type of emails targeted President Obama and his wife Michelle.
