There are two sides to the issue though.

Doesn't NYC have every right to deal with local issues in the way that they see fit? The way that the city council for The Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island wish to deal with them? (I know that there is debate over how actual citizens feel about the ban, but borough citizens elected their council representatives.)

Look, I hate Democrat matriarchal politics in every way - It's one of the reasons I left NYC. But I don't like the GOP patriarchal politics either. The point is that I left. If they want to nanny up the City, that's fine. I don't have to live there. But, the GOP seems to think it's just fine to interfere in local politics as long as it's about god, abortion and immigration.

Telling people that they can't get a huge soda at a bodega in NYC is a far cry from overturning a Supreme Court decision that ensures women have privacy in their reproductive decision making. Palin didn't even know that's what Roe v Wade was about. That's what people are mocking.
