Pedro Espada is a crook and I as a Democrate don’t want that power grabbing bastard in my party. Dem. LGBT should put a target on that bastards ass and get him in the next election. He has single handly killed any hope of Same Sex marriage rights in our state.

Geez, Tim, tell us all how you much hate straight people and believe you’re entitled to special treatment because you’re neurotic. Why do you think the Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted? What a psychopath………

For all the graft and spoils that normally mark Albany, this is a new level of poor performance. They haven’t done a goddamn thing for the people of New York. Maybe the Senate itself needs to be suspended, with all decisions made by the Assembly. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature, as do local governments (remember NYC’s Board of Estimate?). Maybe that will be enough to shock these Senators into doing their legal duty. Then again, that puts the Assembly in control, and it’s New York State…

Espada is flip-flop!!! I’m not very impressed the ways our NY Senate go. RECALL and DISBAND all of them and set up new fresh senators. This is our NY state taxpayers’ waste of money and time during middle of economy meltdowns.

Republicans should learn to be graceful when come to lose the game, Unfortunately they are SO spoil BRATS IMMATURE CHILDREN after decades of control the senate. Don’t they learned to be take a turn.

This is the kind of nonsense that lead to me dropping my membership in the DNC… they appease traitors with rewards.

Shame shame NY Dems.

Let us know which Senators support equality and which don’t so we know who to support in New York’s next election. Got my check book all ready. Democrats, Republicans, Green, Torys, Wigs, I don’t care. As long as they support equality for LGBT they can count on my money.

Pedro Espada is a lowlife. This selfish politician held the whole state of NY hostage for a month and now gets what he wants. Power hungry con artist is what he is.

So now what excuse will the Democrats contrive to not pass Gay Marriage legislation; they again have the political “upperhand”.

I’d always thought Espada was anti-gay, but I believe he is a co-sponsor of the marriage bill
