Kirsten Gillibrand was never a pro-gun Blue Dog.

Why did she join the Blue Dog Coalition if she wasn't a Blue Dog? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsten_Gillibrand#Tenure

If they actually got elected....I would seriously consider moving to a different country.

If I was eighteen, and had the money, I would too.

It's also why Bloomberg hates her.... He was ready to argue his point for gun control and she came in and was all suddenly for it. I agree Gillibrand is overrated. Much ado about nothing. I have far more respect for people like Warren and Sanders, who have conviction, who have souls.

I would have even respected Gillibrand, regardless of her politics, if she was consistent about it.

Elizabeth Warren & Jill Stein

She was a junior Senator, and she agreed with them on a few issues. Junior senators don't have much clout on their own.

Listening to her constituents and voting according to their wishes is hardly a bad thing.

He's not bullying. That's called "straight talk".

It's called being an overbearing ass with an inflated sense of self-importance.

Jesse Ventura, Gary Johnson, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, in that order.

Yelling at and insulting people is not "straight talk".

He called the Affordable Care Act the worst thing since slavery. I can't take him seriously.

I doubt Sanders would get far at all. Warren would have a chance, though.

Too bad Clinton is in the way:/

But just because I want the Republicans to lose, I'd say Bush/Palin. Bush is a tarnished name and Palin, well, I don't have to explain that one.

I didn't hear his speech, I like his politics.

I disagree with him there. I don't support the Affordable Care Act at all, but I don't see how it is worse than slavery. I don't agree with his stance on education though.
All the other issues I agree with him on.

You don't support making health insurance affordable for millions of Americans? You don't support stopping insurance companies from dropping people or hiking their premiums just because they got sick? You do support lifetime caps on coverage? You do support insurance companies refusing coverage for kids with existing conditions?

How do we know her politics won't change again if she becomes president?

Well, women, you know, flighty, changeable. She's 47, probably going through menopause, do you want her fingers on the Button?

Blaats not a natural born citizen. I'd vote for LG just to hear his inauguration speech.
