The democrats would have probably kept her bound and gagged in her office, letting her out just long enough to cast important votes, hoping she didn't forget if she was suppose to vote yes or no again...

Strange enough, this is what they do with Ted Kennedy too. Do you realize there was a vote in the last two years where he "accidently" voted in opposition to some abortion legislation and had to submit a change to his vote later?

She must have found out that she wasn’t going to get it.

Exactly, they said last nite that she was informed she was not Patterson's pick so she withdrew immediately....spoiled little brat..........they say she cited "personal" reasons, yeah, personal as in - you know, I'm a spoiled brat,you know who couldn't get my way so you know I'm taking my toys and going home, you know......

My prediction from Dec 27 (excerpt):
His daughter is the very definition of dilettante — a dabbler in a field of knowledge. She’s never gotten down and dirty in the very rough and tumble game of politics, and I doubt she’s got the backbone for it.

I predict she’ll wither under the increasingly bitter attacks against her and withdraw her name. Or, Patterson won’t select her and with a sigh of relief she’ll disappear back into the woodwork whence she came.

I love it when a plan (or a prediction) comes together.

Now, choose Kirsten Gillibrand.

Re#70 Good morning. Who knows. I would put nothing past any of them. They live for their power and egos.

I dont feel that sorry for her. Her father got killed. Terrible tragedy, but no more so than the children of brave soliders, sailors and airmen who died defending our country. Anyone going to make them US Senators out of pity? Do they get to inherit hundreds of millions when their widowed moms marry a greek billionaire? Caroline is a rich, lazy dilettante who wanted to rule by divine right and backed off when it looked like it wouldn’t be handed to her on a silver platter.

I don’t post often but I’m so damned tired of all these “eletists” telling us and legislatively passing these hokey “laws”. Who the Hell do they think they are? How many more nominees for government posts are We, The People going to have to put up with? Who, in the government doesn’t have a “Nanny” issue? Who - ooopppsss - doesn’t pay their taxes? You don’t pay taxes? Good. You’re confirmed as Treasury Secretary. If the Senate didn’t confirm him right away, the world will turn to carp overnight. (It probably will anyway) I’m so tired of all this. Elections really do have consequences. At least Mrs.Schlossberg (Kennedy) had the kahoochies to pull out, unlike Timmy Geithner. We really are in trouble.

Poor little rich girl.

She might have to host herself a ballroom dance to celebrate herself, and save the Planet.

NO, thats Kennedy’s underage drinking and “unique smoking apparatus” using daughter.

The karma is that what they did to Bristol is now falling back on them.

...how dreary to be Somebody,
how public, like a frog
to tell your name the live long day
to an admiring bog.

O’Reilly says she has been having an affair. So she’s a baby-killing slut. Good riddance, at least temporarily.

My reaction to the news was that Hillary Clinton supporters don’t want any competition from Caroline. Hillary still wants to be President. It seems like she is still being competitive with Obama, even as secretary of state. She mentioned she is all for “healthy debate.” Translation, she wants to continue to run for President. I hate how so much of politics in this country is still being affected by Clinton’s power, either Hillary or Bill.

Caroline is one of those liberals who lives a traditional life but thinks that people in the inner cities should still have the freedom to have abortions. Meanwhile she appears to be straight-laced. I don’t get it, liberals with money. She is very naive. That’s why the democrats don’t want her, they are evil, they have plans to destroy the country and Caroline is one of those people who actually believes the propaganda that they spout, she has no idea about the evil agenda behind the propaganda. That’s why she is not suited to be in the Democrat Party. People with too much money that they inherited can sometimes be stupid. It’s really scary when you think about it.

I tell you what I won’t do, I won’t vote against Kirsten Gillibrand in 2010 in the general election if the Republicans pick anti-gun pro-IRA Peter King for their Senate candidate.

Dhimmicrat Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand is more conservative than King in most, if not all areas.
