It does not strike me as odd that 52% of the American public find her qualified. Good grief, my neighbors in this state have elected and re-elected Patty Murray to the Senate and that woman does not have the brains to get a head ache.

How is this for a 2009 New Year’s Resolution: “No mentioning of ANY member of the Kennedy Crime Family in any media outlet”?

I’m sure I’m not alone with my absolute disgust with the Kennedy Crime Family.

Well, so could anybody with enough sense to read this forum. But none of us are being considered for the Senate because we aren’t aristocrats. Which is the only reason that Kennedy twit is being considered.

My advice: get involved in mob activity now; support your local croocked politicians. Your son will be an ambassador, your grandson will be president, and all subsequent offspring will be senators without regard to how many women they kill or how little effort they expend in preparing themselves for public service.

What a country.

Geesh. I read the comments with amusement.

Is CK qualified?

Based on the current standards being set, I’d say Caroline would fit right in.

Gimme a friggin’ break.

She could probably do a better job as Senate Majority Leader than the current clown.

Isn’t this just a reiteration of how little the public thinks of our political class? After all, half of Minnesotans think that Al Franken is qualified to be a senator.

“uh, look, u know, uh, this is the moment, u know? and, I think the people know this is a time for change to something that is what was before but isn’t, you know? uh, ya, that’s what I wanted to say, and…uh,…”
speech pattern researchers find most endearing to the American public? or that pollsters find most endearing? or that Baby boomers find endearing or that boomer offspring are willing to vote for, because they were taught by boomers that meaning is irrelevant if not coupled with immediate irrational knee-jerk gratification.

Caroline should be seated in the Senate the old fashioned way. She should EARN it! Her resume is far too thin…just as she is.The double standard is beyond nauseating. She is not half the woman Sarah Palin is and never will be.(you know…you know…you know…)

Puleeze! Enough of the nepotism. This is a representative democracy and she does NOT respresent but a handful of elite constituents.

No surprise here. These are the people who put Bommie in the Prez seat.
It just shows what we already knew about what the country has become and our first indicators were the Clintons rise to power.

Name recognition remember the Eddie Murphy movie “A Distinguished Gentleman” where he gets elected because his name is the same as the dead incumbent so he puts his name on the ballot. So People just see the surname Kennedy, and will vote for a Kennedy? They all are not related, take a look at how many people share the “Surname” Kennedy. To call what is going on- the above poll, Herd Mentality is probably being unfair to cloven hoved animals.

I’m surprised it’s that low. I would expect the number to be 75% or higher. This means some of the people are actually paying attention.

Welcome to America where anyone can make it with hard work and integrity.

Or take the shortcut instead and have “Kennedy” in your name.

This woman is an example of the cult of celebrity gone wild, at least now you guys can stop pretending that qualifications matter at all.

Why shouldn’t they? The 50%+ keep proving it every chance they get. It’s not a bright idea, just a simple observation.

DarkCurrent on December 30, 2008 at 12:19 AM

How true. And these dumb asses vote. You should see the issue knowledge stats on non-Aasian minority groups. And the dems need these people in order to win because educated people are too hard to fool.

As we migrate to a non-white nation status, it will produce some interesting history. The problem with being a pioneer is that pioneers get arrows in the back. I just hope we don’t wind up like Haiti.

Electing unqualified inexperienced people to congress … kind of like handing an MP3 player to a wild chimpanzee … when the music starts playing its going to shreik in surprised panic then wreck the player trying to discover what makes it work.

Terrific: 52% of Americans think Caroline’s qualified

No surprise. Obama’s the p-e. Post for us the latest public poll on Congressional approval rating. Given that hardly anyone trusts Congress, then it would be far fetched to say that as the legislative branch, the body of our elected officials are deemed “qualified” to do any more than disappoint America as they disassemble the Constitution.

Caroline is omitting her Onassis name given in early childhood until marriage, and omitting her matrimonial name as well. No Greek or Jewish associations. Just run on the French make-over of a criminal Irish American family. Making and selling alcohol would be forgotten but for the murders and blood that greased the Kennedy bootlegging operations. That the media with the DNC fabricated a cardboard castle to hide the gruesome Kennedy gore and call it Camelot is what Caroline is counting on working again.
