From the NY Post:A World War II veteran who fought at D-Day is so infuriated that Gov. Paterson has siphoned $8.5 million from a special fund to help ailing servicemen that he's gearing up to do battle against Albany.
"They're stealing all the money!" fumed Frederick Carrier, 85.
"I want to interview the governor of the state, and ask him directly -- and I'll be in my uniform -- 'Sir, why was that money taken away from the veterans?'" he said.
"These people need it and nothing is being done to replace it."
The raid on veterans funds and others, to help fill state budget gaps over the past three years, was revealed in a blistering report by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.
At the St. Albans Veterans Home, many veterans and their relatives yesterday also denounced the move.
"The people in here put their lives on the line," said Henry Jackson, a Vietnam War vet who is living in the home temporarily. "When you come out, you want to be taken care of."
Claudia Crayton -- whose Korean War vet husband, an Alzheimer's patient, lives at the home, asked: "Why would you take from the men who have fought so hard for our country?"
Because military people tend not to vote the right way and we need the money for tweeding purposes. (Especially bending over backwards to help illegal aliens with high birth rates.)

This is really low!!!
This is so bad, I think the entire NYC government needs to be fired. Start with the Governor and work your way down. I think this is disgusting. Why not cut the salaries of all NYS government politicians and their staffs?

This is really low!!!
THEY ARE POLITICANS, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
AND THE FUNNY THING IS HOW SO MANY WANT TO WORK WITH THESE BUMS UNDERCUTTING THE EFFORTS OF THE REST OF US TO GET THEM IN LINE.
I want to go with that Veteran and punch Paterson in the face. This is the lowest of the low.
Why doens't Bloombug kick in the money instead of using it to get re-elected all the time?
These are the people who keep us free-God bless all veterans and to hell with the pols.
I am so disgusted. If this doesn't make you mad enough to vote all these assholes out of office, then there is something wrong with you. I think the American people have had enough of these politicians and their criminal ways. Please, please vote them all out in November. Illegal aliens get tons of money and services and these fine Americans that fought for our country get nothing. Where is the outrage? This is so wrong on so many levels.
Whats good blood?
Were you at Times Square on easter sunday?
You know what is funny. These politicians keep getting lower and lower yet when an election comes around like the special one for Senate in Queens the lemming voters keep electing the same cookie cutter machine candidates right back into office. Then when the same liberal democrates are in power everyone says we need to make changes until the next election and then you vote them right back in. This is what would happen if you let the folks in creedmore vote for our elected officials. The last election the republican garnished a full 7% of the vote. So tell me who are these different people everyone says to vote for if they are not the republicans or conservates?
