Caroline Kennedy NY voting record

In the 38 contested elections since 1988, the year she registered in NY she voted in about half.

 Skipping most of the primaries.

She did not vote in dem primary for mayor in 1989 1993 1997 or 2005

Of those 4 the dems lost 3 of the general elections.

She also did not vote in primary or gen election in 1994 for the senate, this is the seat she now wants without a vote.

She did have soul food with al sharpton in harlem yesterday so I guess that coupled with her name makes her qualified

Sharpton coincidentally ran for that senate seat in 1994 but lost.

I do not dislike Caroline Kennedy, I like her actually. I just do not feel that a senate seat in one of the most powerful states in the nation should go to someone who has never had a single vote cast for them by ANY CITIZEN for ANYTHING.

This is not the PTA, or school board. This seat should go to someone who has walked the walk and lived a life of public service. 

Let her run for the office, she would probably win and then be legitimately a senator.

tilt you are so right..you can not yell CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE in november then hand the keys to the state to a kennedy in december.

PS she also did not vote in primary or gen election for governor in 2002

The put that woman in office........It will verify my hunch that this country is going to hell!

I'm pretty sure Bloomberg was the biggest force behind her as well.  Which I find very disappointing, as I considered him to be smarter than that...Maybe Bloomberg wants to tap that ass? hehe

In the times we live in now, you'd think that we as a country would feel compelled to send competant, effective, and proven leaders to the US Senate, when given a chance to appoint somebody rather than them being elected. Someone who can carry some intellectual might and in end are QUALIFIED to be a US Senator...Caroline Kennedy qualifies in name only, and fails everywhere else. 

Tell me how you really feel KOAJ

do new yorkers even care who their next senator is?

I think NY is a bit like Cali - they want "personalities" in positions of power.  They don't think about the consequences until massive corruption or budget problems slap them in the face.  Then they forget about that when the election rolls around. 

 

They want and need their politians to be newsworthy and always get the front page ink.

According to all of the demographic surveys I have seen, New York is one of the top states in educational level and intelligence quotient, so at least they wont be putting in any Neo-Cons. I think Cuomo, the younger, would be a viable choice. Or even the elder, but I havent heard anything about him recently.

NY and cali are not alone.

minnesota voted in a wrestler for govenor and is trying to get a SNL writer in the senate as we speak

indiana ( if I recall correctly) had a senator who was on love boat for petes sake

Just a few off the top of my head

It is funny I have to agree

The fund in its federal filings lists her work as  TWO HOURS PER WEEK. I spend that much time at stop lights in LA every week.

Nice lady....not qualified

And you know who those people are you refer to Hugo? Of course you dont' cuz that would require you to be educated...Those people who put NY at the top of the so-called "educational leval and intelligence quotient" work on wall street...They are not community organizers...Who do you think they vote for?  Wow, usually you are not this easy to pawn, usually very easy, just not this easy usually...next

The person that she's replacing....remember the term "carpetbagger?".....never held public office before becoming the junior senator from NY.....

 

The former governor of California and later POTUS never held public office before becoming governor......

 

Just to name 2........

 

But, of course, those bitching in this forum and others are the same idiots that would have had no problem having Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the oval office......

 

Hypocrits and fools are what is left of the "Grand Old Party"....

A little misleading ( as usual) OPC.  Reagan who you speak of was pres of SAG which of course has huge influence in LA. He was the driving force ridding SAG of it's prominent communist element and agenda with permeated the  movie industry in those days.

I am neither a fool or a hypocrite, and anyone who supports Caroline with the same enthusiasm that they supported "change" 6 weeks ago is the hypocrite.

OPC, you are exactly right. These Neo-Cons have no problem touting an inexperienced candidate as long as they under the GOP banner. But, if he or she is a progressive or a Dem they are not qualified. Conversely,if they have some experience, then they dont represent "change." Nothing will make this shrinking portion of our political population happy in the next term, so why even bother. And Tilto, I dont think that the entire intellengsia work on Wall Street and the ones that do are mostly likely composed of a Neo-Con majority. I am just quoting from the U.S. Census Department regarding the demographics. Or maybe you think Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia Texas etc are among our most intelligent and informed states. Actually you probably do,considering your political stance. And if you want to pawn someone, you would have a lot better chance with Rod Steiger than you have with me.

  The MN wrestler was an independent with a populist message.

  The CA governor and POTUS was a "B" republican actor with a populist message.

  Was Dan Quayle on "Love Boat"?  Not really the brightest GOP'er to bring into your argument.

Dan Quayle?  no he was not on love boat, that is not who I am referring to. Use google it is free.

This is why so much of these forums is useless. Who said I was speaking about party lines?

About dems or republicans?   I was not.

Fran the nanny is on larry king lobbying for the senate job in NY for christ sake.

it is hysterical

so you think Caroline Kennedy is a good choice? Aptly Qualified? You are a sick fuck...

Victor Davis Hanson just torches the shit out of any rationale possible for choosing this woman....

however, I will say that I do hope she gets in simply because the political news will be that much more interesting in the coming years with another Kennedy to kick around.

Don't you agree?
