Since Hillary made her "lifelong Yankee fan" declaration in 1999, the Yankees have played approximately 200 regular season home games, and been in all three rounds of the playoffs three years in a row, and she hasn't been to one game. Bill Clinton did make it the Stadium once -- the Yankees against the Mariners -- and it was the one game that the Yanks lost to Seattle!
Don't forget about Staten Island, where they not only gave a majority of votes to Lazio, but actually has a non-RINO Republican Congressman!
ROTFLMAO...EXCELLENT
That might be true in Massachusetts, but it's not in NY. Are you a Tedward Kennedy Freeper?
You owe Brett Summers an apology!
(10) She was at her digs in Washington baking cookies. ( 9) Her "Trained Pig" Secret Service agent misplaced her Yankees cap, and the jacket hides the trademark pantsuit. ( 8) The sky marshall on her broom was too much drag and she was late getting there. ( 7) She really was there in a "Donald Trump" costume, with a woman whose last name ended in an "a" thingy.. ( 6) Shes still wandering around ground zero looking for a fireman who will shake her hand. ( 5) She was home proofreading Chelsea's near death experience essay for Talk Magazine. ( 4) An aide, who told her the season had ended in May, thought she was a Cubs fan. ( 3) She went to the Meadowlands by mistake. ( 2) She couldn't turn the game experience into a fund raiser. ( 1) She really isn't in a "New York Frame of Mind".
The Irish heritage firefighters and policemen will be putting their Xs next to the Ds (socialists)as their fathers and grandfathers did before them.
You're painting NYC cops and fireman with a broad brush: NYC voted for Clinton therefore all NYC cops and firemen are Democrats.
Comparable logic: America voted Clinton into the White House twice, therefore all Americans including aculeus and Captain Tom are Democrats and supporters of Clinton.
The people -- mostly cops and firemen -- who booed Hillary at that NYC rally did not learn to dislike her overnight.
Scared the heck outta me!
Best one yet!

Hehehhe
My loathing for Sen. Kennedy cannot be expressed.
As far as me painting people with a broad brush it goes without saying that it couldn't possibly include everyone in that group.
Being from an Irish background I have lived all my life around politics. I doubt very much that the Irish in NY are a different breed than the Irish in Boston.
As far as the Freeper who told me that there were a lot of republicans in the queens section I looked up the results of the senate and congressional elections and the dems whalloped the repubs by more than two to one in all but 2 out of 14 seats.
NY like Mass. are socialist states. Face up to it.
NY just got mugged so there is a possibility of a change of heart. -Tom
I know that one shouldn't argue with a Captain but being (1) of 100% Irish descent and (2) from Queens (summers in Rockaway, no less) I assure you that my parents and most of their Irish-American friends and relatives stopped voting for Democrats (nationally; some of the locals were okay) in the 1940s-1950s.
The Brooklyn Tablet (official Catholic paper covering Brooklyn and Queens) was then so anti-communist that it had ads for bronze busts of Joe McCarthy. The editor of that paper (a Rockaway neighbor of my family) was a Roosevelt-hater as were the people who read The Tablet or the daily anti-communist anti-Roosevelt and anti-Democrat papers like the old Journal-American and (yes) the New York Daily News. (The NY Post was then left-wing.)
Most of my relatives and friends were Irish-Americans but do you know how old I was when I met my first IRA-supporting Irish-American? Twenty-nine! (He was from the Bronx which is socially more like Boston than Queens.)
I don't understand the Boston Irish but I am pleased that my ancestors settled in NYC and not in Kennedy-land. You have my sympathy.
