Gillinbrand is more favorable than most NY RINOS like Rudy.

Rudy is about 50% conservative, Gillibrand is about 8% conservative. Gillinbrand is NOT more favorable than Rudy Giulliani and other similar NYS RINOS.

Honestly, it's beliefs like the one you state above that will keep us conservatives wondering in the wilderness.

as long as she has a A+ 100% NRA rating, I will vote for her over King who gets a D from the NRA and King is an IRA supporters. Rudy is anti-gun and pro-choice.

Gillibrand has described her own voting record as “one of the most conservative in the state.” She opposes any path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, supports renewing the Bush tax cuts for individuals earning up to $1 million annually, and voted for the Bush-backed FISA bill that permits wiretapping of international calls. She was one of four Democratic freshmen in the country, and the only Democrat in the New York delegation, to vote for the Bush administration's bill to extend funding for the Iraq war shortly after she entered congress in 2007

You know you sound like the RINO here. NY GOP needs to get their $h!t together or they will lose out to Blue Dog Democrats.

Rudy is pro choice and a zealous practioner of government power. His conservative cred comes from dealing with crime, but he followed the lead of Bratton, a Boston dem. Rudy endorsed and still backs Bloomberg. Rudy’s cachet is tied totally to his performance at 9/11. He did his job. He was Mayor. He did what he was supposed to the way the cops, fdnees, bus drivers, and school teachers did their jobs. Rudy endorsed and actively campaigned for Mario Cuomo against Pataki in 94.He did so out of pique because Pataki was a creature of D’Amato, Giuliani’s sworn adversary. So he puts personal pique as more important than the welfare of his state. RINO is too nice a name for Rudy.
