Kirsten Gillibrand got lucky when she landed a US Senatorial job in early 2009. Handpicked by (soon departing) New York Governor Patterson, she has disappointed some Democrats for her political lunge to the progressive left and blind allegiance to the Democrat Party.
The previous year in ’08 she was campaigning for re-election to US Congress – District 20. She expressed during a commercial spot that she would represent all the people, “Democrats and Republicans” in exchange for their vote. Known at the time for being “moderate” it surprised many when, in just two short years, her perspective would change so dramatically.
Gillibrand was one of just a handful of members to support continued federal funding of ACORN, even though the outfit was exposed for voter fraud and intimidation, among other nefarious acts, and is being investigated by federal prosecutors. Explaining away her strange endorsement, Gillibrand’s response that ACORN does “a lot of good” to an on-the-spot question posed by a FOX News reporter, comes off as more partisan than concerned. (Incidentally, FOX News was the only television News station to initially cover the story, the pissant media don’t like to expose their own.)
Goldman Sachs, currently facing federal fraud charges does a lot of good too, but you won’t see Gillibrand or any other puppet of the Democrat left, defending them any time soon.

She’s Schumer’s galpal.
No way, this guy was a cheerleader for Clinton’s bombing of Serbia.
Well, it’s easy to pass judgment in hindsight. You should contact the campaign and see what their reaction is to your criticism.
this guy was a cheerleader for Clinton’s bombing of Serbia.
Given the choice of saving the US or saving Serbia, Serbia can go hang itself. Do you think Gillebrand would have supported Serbia over Clinton?
After all, ACORN only REGISTERS VOTERS who promise to vote for dems or they are told that if they vote as Dems they will get freebies, etc., and therefore it helps democrats in office to keep their cushy jobs....and the TAXPAYER has to pay for it all!!!
It does not get any better than using American taxes, dem and repub alike, to PAY for only DEMOCRATS REGISTERING to VOTE!!
PING
Thanks Raquel
