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.

LOL! Gillibrand misrepresents her own voting record. As I pointed out conservative groups give her about and 8% conservative rating.

She opposes any path to citizenship for illegal immigrants,

She talks one way and votes another way. Gillibrand voted against HR 2638 which was an amendment to the Homeland security bill that would have accelerated the construction of the border fence.

...supports renewing the Bush tax cuts for individuals earning up to $1 million annually,

She had a chance to reduce taxes for middle class two income earners and she failed. She voted against HR3996 the Alternative Minimum Tax Adjustment. She's all talk and no action.

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

She voted for it before she voted against it. She voted for HConRes 63, a resolution opposing the “surge” of 20,000 additional troops into Iraq. She voted for HR 2237 a bill that would have required the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq within 180 days.

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.

She also voted pro hate crime protection(HR 1592), anti secret union ballots(HR3043), anti missile defense(HR 1585), anti religious freedom(HR 1429), anti 1st Amendment(HR 18), anti offshore Natural Gas Development(HR3093), pro minimum wage increase(HR 2), pro stem cell government funding(HR 3), pro funding for international family planning organizations that perform or promote abortions(HR 2764), pro tax funding of planned parenthood(HR 3043), pro ban on incandescent light bulbs(HR3221), pro government funding of the construction, rehabilitation and preservation of “affordable” housing for low-income families(HR 2895) pro expansion of Medicare(HR 976)...I could go on.

I criticize her and her 92% liberal voting record and you call me a "RINO"?

It's dupes like you who keep conservatives wondering in the wilderness.
