Although she is a Dem, she is not a liberal in the Obama/Biden/Cuomo(Mario)/Pelosi/Hinchey mold. In fact, there are Republicans in New York more liberal than her (i.e., Guiliani). And her positions on gun ownership and the Second Amendment runs deep in her family. (From what I have read, her mother was a member of her college rifle team and still shoots the Thanksgiving turkey.)
“Although she is a Dem, she is not a liberal in the Obama/Biden/Cuomo(Mario)/Pelosi/Hinchey mold.”
FALSE. She is in that mold and will vote that way. Her voting record is 95% Liberal. Her House voting record is MORE LIBERAL THAN PELOSI’S. see previous link on Liberal group vote ratings.
” In fact, there are Republicans in New York more liberal than her (i.e., Guiliani).”
FALSE. Rudy’s 12 commitments in his campaign were night-and-day far far more conservative than anything Gillibrand has done.
” And her positions on gun ownership and the Second Amendment” ... are the ONLY issue where she departs from liberal Democrat orthodoxy. BFD. It didnt stop ACLU, ADA and the unions from giving her a 90%+ rating.
