Clinton & Obama among the least liberal Democratic senators - while McCain is NO moderate either
Edited on Wed Apr-09-08 06:39 AM by Hawaii Hiker
"So, what about Obama, Clinton, and McCain? Obama at 80% and Clinton at 82% are (1) not far apart and (2) among the least liberal Democrats. In contrast, John McCain at 9% is one of the most conservative Republicans. When McCain campaigned this year as a true conservative, he was telling the truth. He is more conservative than Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the minority leader, and more conservative than all the senators from Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, not known as hotbeds of liberalism. Conclusion: when people say Obama and Clinton are liberals, that's not true; when people say McCain is a conservative, that is true".

I think we can finally put to rest that McCain is a moderate/maverick, CUZ he is NO f-ing moderate/maverick.... :banghead:

1. Something doesn't compute
Hillary Clinton gets only a 70% from the Children's Defense Fund? That's her baby. (And when I go to the link for the CDF I can't find a rating system). My only guess is that some of these low ratings for Clinton and Obama involve counting against them votes that were missed due to campaigning.
