Please God Not Kennedy

Unless you have been living under a rock the past few weeks you know that
Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the late John F. Kennedy, is seeking the
Senate seat soon to be vacated by Hillary Clinton. Carline Kennedy, who has
always shied away from the spotlight, does not deserve to be considered for
this position. She has no qualifications that Kristin Gillibrand, Brian
Higgins, Andrew Cuomo, Steve Israel, or Thomas Suozzi lack, except for maybe
her last name. Although I strongly disagree with the views of all these
politicians, they have experience and have been in politics for most of
their career. Ms. Kennedy on the other hand, must think that she has a right
to the seat due to her last name because she certainly knows she's not
qualified enough for the position. Ms. Kennedy claims that being a mom,
being a Kennedy and being the director of the Office of Strategic
Partnerships for the New York City Department of Education (a three-day a
week job) has prepared her for the United States Senate. She has yet to take
stances in which she would depart from either Mayor Bloomberg or the
Democratic Party and she has yet to disclose her financial statements or
state disagreements she has with other potential appointees. She claims that
she would be a good representative of all New Yorkers, yet she has never
ventured past her multi-million dollar penthouse suite in lower Manhattan.
There is more to the state of New York than just the five boroughs and Long
Island. I think it is also important to note that since registering to vote
in 1988..."Records show Kennedy did not pull the lever for any of her fellow
Democrats in city primary races for mayor in 1989, 1993 and 1997 and 2005,
which Republicans went on to win three out of four times in the general
election. She was also AWOL for the primary and general elections in 1994,
when Sen. Daniel Moynihan was running for reelection to the seat Kennedy
hopes to hold. "-nydailynews

Just two months removed from Sarah Palin and all of the criticism for her
lack of qualifications, Caroline Kennedy, is trying to be appointed to the
Senate (believe it or not, Palin is the Governor of Alaska, Kennedy has
never held public office). For someone who hasn't always voted and doesn't
value the democratic process, being appointed is the ideal way for her to
take office. It is the only way she would have a chance at getting to
Capitol Hill, especially for someone who in a recent 30 minute interview
with cable station NY1 said the words "you know" 168
times.-thewallstreetjournal God knows that if she were to run for election
with her lack-luster resume she would surely lose. Despite these facts and
her utter lack of qualifications, the prospect of having a qualified Senator
is not looking too bright. She thinks that because she is a Kennedy she does
not have to work her way up the food chain, gain experience or any of that.
David Patterson, as the governor of New York, will appoint someone to finish
out Clinton's term, which ends in 2012. This person will most likely be
Caroline Kennedy. Let's face it, David Patterson is a nobody, he wasn't even
suppose to be governor, but if he appoints Ms. Kennedy to the Senate, he
would have an influential and powerful friend for life. He would be doing
her a huge favor because it really is her only chance to become Senator of
New York.
