She’s about 99.99% moonbat. The rodents don’t all like her because she’s not 100% pure gold-standard moonbat.

“The rodents don’t all like her because she’s not 100% pure gold-standard moonbat.”

I have a feeling that the libDems will like her more when she is U.S. senator. I predict she will move even more to the left when she isn’t running in a conservative district (her congresscritter position was in a conservative district).

[TigersEye]

Can NY state hope for a Senator with more conservative values?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Indeed. It’s a very small step to the left to become a perfect moonbat.

[fieldmarshaldj]

It can always hope, just like I hope to have a supermodel materialize on my lap in the time it takes for me to hit “post.”

2007 Representative Gillibrand supported the interests of the National Journal - Conservative on Economic Policy 34 percent in 2007.

Yep, we have Rep Tim Walz in Minnesota, he even was allowed to vote against the previous $700 billion Bail-out because they already had enough Liberal Republicans to vote for it...

[nathanbedford]

Compare the reaction of the Democrats in New York to the appointment of such an extreme leftist to the Senate with what we imagined would be the reaction of Republicans in a safe Republican state (if there is one anymore) such as South Carolina.

But we do not have to imagine, we just saw a Rino reelected to the Senate from that state, a man who deviated much farther from the party's basic values than does the example in New York State.

Instead, let us ponder degree of party discipline and ideological consistency which the rats are able to muster. They need never apologize for their extremism. In fact you cannot get nominated in most states as a Democrat if you are not able to claim the farthest left perch on the branch.

In the coming years it will also be instructive to compare the ruthless discipline imposed by Barak Obama through Rahm Emmanuelle with the feckless leadership of George Bush. Although I concede that, where expedient, IEmmanuelle reached out to more moderate Democrats, the general direction of movement was always relentlessly toward the left. In this context, we might ask ourselves which method grows a party?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Well worth remembering that only Democrats are allowed to act ruthless. The GOP is criticized for engaging in a fraction of the conduct the rodent party does. We really need to stop worrying about the criticisms from them and their media arm, and grow a f***ing spine and start to knock the teeth down the throats of these schoolyard bullies.

[Oztrich Boy]

Can NY state hope for a Senator with more conservative values?

Sure. Why not. Hope is the new cool

[murron]

Time will tell if she continues voting conservative. As a congresswoman, she was representing just one district that was conservative. As a senator, she will be representing a whole state that is liberal. To keep her senate seat, she will probably show her true colors.

[TigersEye]

Oh noze, the 0pod people got to you. Both of you. Reality is becoming a bad '50s science fiction movie.

Aiyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Sun]

“Can NY state hope for a Senator with more conservative values?”

Of course, but we conservatives have to work toward it by supporting the pro-life conservatives that we have by writing letters to the editor, contributing what we can afford to their campaigns, talking with everyone we know, etc..

Three Republican pro-life, and conservative-in-every-way, politicians that want to run for Gillibrand’s congressional seat are Tedisco, Faso and Little. If one of them wins that seat against whoever the NYS Dem Party picks, the winner can eventually run for U.S. Senator some day.

[Sun]

“Yep, we have Rep Tim Walz in Minnesota, he even was allowed to vote against the previous $700 billion Bail-out because they already had enough Liberal Republicans to vote for it...”

That’s how it goes. Nancy Pelosi allowed it, so he would win reelection.

[Sun]

“Time will tell if she continues voting conservative. As a congresswoman, she was representing just one district that was conservative. As a senator, she will be representing a whole state that is liberal. To keep her senate seat, she will probably show her true colors.”

I agree.

btw, by getting pretending-to-be-conservative Dems is how Schumer got more U.S. Senate seats for the Dem Party.

[TigersEye]

OK. My question was meant to be a little more topical.

[Sun]

Vote for Tedisco. Don’t let the Dems trick you again in the 20th district.
