Hillary Clinton's Senate Replacement Is……
Filed under: Politik > Hillary Clinton
Finally!!!
This whole search has been so dramatic!
At noon today, Friday, New York governor David Paterson, will appoint 'conservative' Democratic NY Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand to Hillary Clinton's vacant US Senate seat. Gillibrand was the first Democrat elected to upstate NY's 20th district since 1978 and the first woman to hold the seat.
This 'conservative' choice is apparently freaking out some Dem leaders. Gillibrand voted against the economic rescue package and is a known supporter of the NRA. She's also not down with the gays!!!
But, Rev. Al Sharpton did bring up some reasons why Gillibrand is a 'good' choice in a chat with Fox News. She'll draw into the fold conservative Dems who are powerful in upstate NY. The lefty rev said:
"I think politically it will help the governor, it will help the team. She will do some things for them upstate…look what happened in Virginia. Conservative democrats are winning so politically it might be a plus."
You've got some big shoes to fill, Miz Gillibrand.
ok im good with it

Always got to make it about homo's don't you Mario.
being "not down with the gays" is looking to be more into a liberal stance
YES?
Blast!!!!! this is one crazy bitch lets hope she doesnt fuck up all the work that women have done in NY!!!! she sounds like a Palin….
suckedy suck suck suck
Fiirst?
who cares
Re: LizardKinG –
grrr.. x[
i'm a conservative dem too. we do exist.
Re: I[heart]Jasper – grrr ?
Perez, why the hell are there zwinky ads on your site??
Uhh ok
Okay well in that case she's the best choice. I think I liked the IDEA of Kennedy getting the seat. Thanks Al S. for breaking it down and explaining it.
they are taking Obam's lead…he wants us to hate gays
now obama tried to bring in the masses during his 2 hour inauguration and gays made it all about them. how come you're not flaming mad at the Governor of NY for this so-called anti-gay choice? hypocrites.
well, congrats to the new senator anyway.
good. i thought kennedy was under qualified anyway.
Hillary isn't a loss.
Horrible choice! She is way too conservative for a dem and she was only chosen because she may be able to beat Rudy G next year.
she's kinda cute…a definite improvement over Hilary in the looks department
So much better than Hillary.
ANTI-CHOICE and ANTI-SAME SEX MARRIAGE! Sorry folks, even Gov. Spitzer looks good now.
I love how stupid far left libitard's are making a fool of themselves again! As if anyone cares what they think any more! NRA rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: mollystunacave –
Disagreeing with the bailout and being a member of the NRA makes you crazy? Damn it, everyone was right about me…
I don't condone bigotry of any kind, but if I'm allowed to say that I support gay rights, she has just as much right to say that she doesn't.
Uh, not sure what Congressperson you're reading about, but Gillibrand got a 100% approval rating from the ACLU, is pro-choice AND pro-gay marriage. The only 2 things that make her Conservative are gun control and Bush tax cuts.
Do a little research…
perez - you dont EVEN live in new york so why should you care if shes not down with the gays? im sure shes not against it
it is very funny how the tolerant ones label someone "one crazy bitch" as soon as there is the slights difference of opinion.
FUCKER!
JUST GOOGLED HER AND I DISAGREE THAT SHE'S NOT DOWN WITH GAYS.
.
.
SHE SUPPORTS GAY MARRIAGE! THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!
.
.
HILLARY WAS ONLY FOR CIVIL UNIONS. THIS LADY TAKES IT A STEP FURTHER.
.
.
SHE SEEMS ALL RIGHT TO ME.
New Yorkers need a tough cookie and Caroline Kennedy wasn't it! Maybe a smart conservative is better than a weak dem. Who knows…maybe she'll learn to be more tolerant.
NRA? A democratic Palin?
Re: jimmyjazz – 32 So diplomatic Jimmy! Nice!
the litmus test for becoming a liberal is abortion and gay marraige!
Wow, you're retarded Perez. She supports same sex marriage, so obviously…. she's down with the gays. Did you do any research or just say that because she doesn't support gun control? Just because she's conservative on one issue doesn't mean she's conservative on the rest.
I'm from New York, and from the looks of things, I think she's decent.
Smart move! Glad they dumped Caroline. She was not worthy of the position.
And good for Paterson. Getting an upstate pol for the job helps him with his re-election in 2010.
That blind black guy is smarting than people think…
Democratic conservative?
that just doesn't go together
Hey Perez. Why aren't you bashing her on her stance on gays like you do every republican? asshole.
American politics, while fascinating, is something I never want to have to deal with firsthand. So complicated and filled with pundits. Anyway, good luck to all the New Yorkers. At least she's pretty, right?
OMG… it's HOLLY from THE OFFICE!
Love her - Go Dartmouth!!!
My sister lives in upstate NY, and the crowd up there was so hoping it would not be a "NYC" only person, so they are very happy with the pick.
-
I think Caroline did big damage to herself - she should have rode it out, and taken the loss gracefully — no one believes that she was the "one" and decided on her own to bow out.
i dont understand
shes gotta have something on patterson
no one here (as in albany, ny) cares for gillibrand anymore.
Shes great ,shes pro-choice,shes for gay rights and gay marriage,I like her. I'm glad shes for protecting gun rights but the nra are radical white trash and she should not be linked to those lowlives. Good choice.
