WTF! Al D'Amato next to Gillibrand?

[SuperTrouper]

:puke:

What a mistake, if she is the darling for NRA and Al D'Amato is cheering her on... :mad:

[deadmessengers]

1. D'Amato has mellowed a bit

I like some of the pro-freedom stances he's come out for now that he doesn't have a political career to worry about. I agree, though, that the fact that he's standing up there is a bit worrisome.

6. I remember him being for gays in the military 15 years ago

Overall, he's basically an ass, though.

13. He and Koch, we can't seem to get rid of them....NY1 gives them permanent stardom.

2. He's just a suck-up, trying to maintain contacts for lobbying purposes.

3. This is nothing short of a Clinton/Schumer DLC power-play for the Leadership of our party.

:grr:

[Nite Owl]

5. Exactly what it is. n/t

[MarjorieG]

14. Exactly. Less about Caroline than Schumer's designs, party infighting.

I don't know if it's as much about Clintons, as about rest of NY Dems, all wanting the job and being side-lined for an Obama insider.

4. Weird isn't it? n/t

[Muttocracy]

7. I think her dad worked for D'Amato - not that people should be judged by family, but... nt

[DinahMoeHum]

8. and she herself worked as a summer intern in D'Amato's office

n/t

[Muttocracy]

12. yes, thanks - was looking up that info just now - forgot that job was with him. nt

[BrklynLiberal]

9. Her father was a lobbyist. Great, just great.

[TheKentuckian]

10. Pretty pro labor for a corporatist isn't she?

You guys may as well forget gun control, it was a loser issue that killed us in the west for years. Grandstanding on this issue is a waste of energy, we've got problems that we can solve instead of banging our heads against the wall in areas that their is no traction and running uphill in the face of the Constitution.

11. She's DLC Mitt Romney as a bleached blonde

During the news conference, she's already changed her anti-gun control stance. During the last 24 hours, she's also become
pro-gay marriage. No doubt the political whore will soon be anti-Bush tax cuts soon.

15. Shit, I think Paterson made a big mistake. What a sinking feeling...
