“The Republican Party in New York has degenerated into an extremist party led by a cast of unsavory characters.”

“The GOP is a far cry from the moderate Republican Party of Giuliani, Pataki, D'amato, and Rockefeller.”

“It has been brought to its knees by Chairman Cox.”

 “And now, this Republican Party is anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-Semitic, anti-Black, anti-immigrant, and pits upstate against downstate.”

 “It can't be a coincidence that Cox is Nixon's son-in-law because only a master of the dark arts could have brought the party Paladino and his crew of thugs.”

“From Cox’s initial manipulation – trying to sabotage the Republican Party for Steve Levy in a backroom deal to help his son – it was clear that Cox learned all of Nixon's bad habits.”

“After Cox failed with Levy, he threw his support behind Lazio.  Now, he's reduced to being the hatchet man for Paladino and his crew of criminals.”

“This Republican Party has devolved into a band of ultra-conservative thugs. It is out-of-step with the ideology of mainstream New Yorkers and out-of-bounds of the law.”

“On November 2, New York will reject the bigotry and thuggery of Cox-Paladino.”
