By all means appoint Caroline Kennedy to the Senate. Especially because she is unqualified and inexperienced. Anything to weaken the Democrat DNA and discredit the Kennedy dynasty further (if such a thing be possible) is A-OK with me.
Chile let Allende run wild for two years, the backlash was such that the Commies were sent packing for decades and Chile went from the basket case of South America to its most vibrant economy in a heartbeat... with a little friendly advice from Milton Friedman.
In case you find yourself in any disagreement over this stupid Kennedy issue with a left-wing diptard, they will be sure to really bash Bush at some point.
Here is how to really freak out a left-wing Bush peacenik: 60,000 US dead, Could have been millions
Simply compare the war records of President Bush with their beloved election-stealer, JFK:
Bush vs. JFK War Record
President
War
Dead
Result
Bush
Afghanistan
620 U.S.
Taliban gone (hiding & shivering in caves),
terrorist training camps mostly gone.
Iraq
4200 US
Hussein gone, 500 tons of yellowcake removed,
Iraq safer than Chicago for American young men.
JFK
Bay of Pigs
4000 dead
Disaster, embarassment and military/international/diplomatic humiliation.
Vietnam
1 million Asians deadUnmitigated disaster. After 10 years and thousands of US lives, Communists take over. US reputation and prestige destroyed.
Cuban Missile Crisis
Very nearly starts World War III over Cuba.
Missiles quietly moved back later.
Not to mention the fact that Kennedy nepotism got started with RFK being made Attorney General.
The final disgrace in the whole sad Kennedy saga is Ted the swimmer.
Please, please, someone ask Caroline how many houses she has. After all, it was such a HUGE issue when McCain was running!!!!
With this statement, I totally agree. Regardless who Paterson picks, they will be "brain dead" DIMocrats so why not pick the one that has the most to lose and can possibly do the most damage to the party?
In a normal, functional republic that would be a sound strategy. We're in a country that is rapidly turning to an aristocratic form of government, with a dysfynctional, biased media. Putting her in the office guarantees that she will be highly "accomplished" and re-elected, because of the two factors above.
