McCarthy knocks Gillibrand as choice for Senate (Schumer to McCarthy: stifle yourself)
Newsday ^ | January 23, 2009 | REID J. EPSTEIN

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said yesterday Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand's gun control views make her unacceptable for the U.S. Senate and threatened a primary challenge in 2010 if Gov. David A. Paterson selects the Hudson Democrat to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton.

--snip--

"I've spent 15 years trying to prevent gun violence in this country, and if he does pick her and if no one goes and primaries her, I will primary her," McCarthy said. "I will do that. I'm not going to give up on this. I'm not going to let New York State get represented by someone who gets a 100 percent rating from the NRA."

Sen. Charles Schumer, who like McCarthy is a strong proponent of gun control, asked the Mineola Democrat to refrain from protesting Gillibrand's selection, McCarthy said.

She voted against the first bailout.

A basket of contradictions for sure.

Gov. Paterson pulled her out of left field (no pun intended.) I thought for sure he’d pick Cuomo after Schlossberg withdrew.

Evidently this gal has worked with hitlery and was supported by Emily’s List.

Very strange to say the least.

The Klinton’s wanted anybody but a Kennedy and the Cuomo’s wanted anybody but a Kennedy.

Oh Ok, wasn’t aware of that, so there is a distinct difference right there, but on the plus side, she was against the bailout

I believe that Gillibrand will groomed as a future challenger to Palin. The msm can laugh all it wants at SP now, but once 0bama’s pork bill fails to resucitate the economy, the people may turn very fast and Palin’s stock will rise.

She voted against the first bailout.

Posturing, because it was going to pass anyways without her vote. Pelosi lets them get away with an occasional figleaf like that if she already has the votes. It's how those BlueDogs roll.

Ahhh, now all is clear. It has nothing to do with guns. And everything to do with cats; green-eyed cats.

Great job there. The lips need to be a little bluer and don’t forget that big hairy mole on the left side of his nose.

Wow! Talk about contrast.
The top one is a disgusting pig and the bottom one looks sweet!

It is my understanding that her district is overwhelmingly republican.

Given it is NY, she’s probably representative of their values.

Fiscally conservative, socially liberal.
