Kerry Record????
 
Hey I hear lots of talk about how Kerry's voting record is very Liberal and
grounds for not voting for him.
I have not been able to find a list of the record, that is considered to be
bad.

Anyone know what they are talking about or a link that lists them?

I have heard one or two specific ones, but nothing that would constitute a
list.

Inquiring Minds What to Know!!

One of the better places to look that I have come across is

http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rati...sig_id=002927M

If you click on the individual's name, it will provide you with a fair
amount of detail that you might find helpful.

Those actual "rankings" are compiled by the National Journal, as I
understand it, but I think you have to be a subscriber to get their
details.

I'd say his voting record *does* matter, as does his authorship &
sponsorship of bills. However, lies about his (or any other candidates)
voting record ought to not matter much, unless of course you are going
to hold the liar accountable.

But then, you are on record as believing that any horrible distortion of
fact is "true" as long it slanders somebody you consider "liberal" or
compliments somebody you consider "conservative." Observable facts from
the real world don't seem to enter the picture.

Actually, his *real* voting record proves nothing of the kind.

http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rati...an_id=S0421103

On scale where 0= very conservative and 100= very liberal, Kerry is
ranked at 63. Elizabeth Dole is ranked 22. John Edwards is ranked 93, if
you're going to rant about "extremist liberals" he is a much more likely
target. Our Congressman David Price, who is a money-grubbing weasel with
few peers, rates 73.

As I was reading one of these sites today, there was a quote from the

That is the glaring problem with the sort of simple minded crap that

on *actual* facts that you put forth this sort of silliness and claim
it to be factual. It doesn't bother me if others reach different
conclusions about the *actual* facts, but the obvious efforts to
disguise and hide the true facts leads to the inescapable conclusion
that the truth frightens you.

Why don't you make some minimal effort to check these claims..

That might prove interesting to those with the intellectual integrity
to actually read and think rather than just parrot. It is a

Not true. The facts speak for themselves.

Liberalism is based on lies. The end justifies the means,
so there are no holds bared.

Kerry's record proves he is not only an extremist liberal,
but solidly at the far edge of the spectrum and his voting
record proves it--even using your own rating system the
guy had mostly 100's and 0's in the ratings.

Think about what 0's and 100's mean! It means he either
extremist conservative or extremist liberal. And we know
which one he is--extremist liberal. He never sees the
middle ground.

Kerry's record proves he is not only an extremist liberal


It may "prove" it to you, but not to anybody who actually looks with
their eyes open. The only thing I see Kerry voting for 100% is abortion
rights. and the environment. As a Constitutional issue, the federal
gov't has no right to make laws restricting abortion. As a person who
has to breathe the air & drink the water, much less sail on it, I think
that there is no reason to allow private interests to pollute for their
own profit.

BTW I also don't see any reason whatever to allow oil drilling or
lumbering or any other for-profit activity on gov't owned lands. *We*
paid for the land and if there is money being made off it, I want my share!

As I see it, you're either for the Constitution or against it. Either
you believe that the gov't should be restricted in it's actions, and
citizens should have rights that will stand, or you don't. It seems you
don't believe in freedom, Bart, other than with guns. I find that puzzling.

Doug,

Think about the left wing agenda promoted by the media.
How can you complain about the right wing, when the left
virtually controls the media.

I would have stayed out of this entire political discussion this
year if it were not for the constant stream of liberal extremism.
And, I've provided numerous examples of how liberal
extremism bashes America.

President Bush supports the Constitution and the 2nd
Amendment, while Kerry has trampled this whenever possible,
without exception. This is one of the most fundamental
rights listed only after freedom of religion and speech.

When it comes to name calling, and lying, the liberals
outdo the conservatives by a huge margin. They don't need
a shred of proof--the end justifies the means. Is that the
American way? Or a sign of desperation? Or of stupidity?

Limbaugh doesn't preach, he talks about the stupidity of
liberal extremism with humor.

The Democrats had a chance to chose a reasonable moderate,
with common sense, Sen. Lieberman. He is a man who doesn't
flip flop around and, has conviction and common sense. This
year extremism won, because Bush is basically a moderate
with conviction.

I support President Bush and feel he needs another term to
finish what he started. Kerry is a vacant empty man. The
only ones worse liberals are Kennedy and Dean.

It really is double or nothing this year.

President Bush supports the Constitution


Sorry, locking up citizens without trial and keeping *everything* the
gov't does as secret as possible, and spending money not authorized by
Congress, is not "supporting the Constitution" in my book. In fact he
wants to amend the Constitution to meddle in citizen's private affairs,
or at least he says he does.


... while Kerry has trampled this (2nd Amendm't) whenever possible,
without exception.


In other words, on this single issue, you feel that Bush is great and
Kerry is the "Spawn of Satan" in your words.


... This is one of the most fundamental
rights listed only after freedom of religion and speech.



Perhaps you feel that religious freedom is over rated?

Bush has taken *my* tax money and used it to support churches I don't
believe in. Perhaps you feel that Bush was appointed by God to rule over
us? Some people do, and they are usually pretty vocal about it. Perhaps
you feel that people who disagree with you should not only be killed,
but cast into a pit of fire?

As for freedom of speech, it seems to me that you are against it. For
speaking the way I do, you called me a traitor.

I have pointed to very sound reasons why I hold the opinions I do. You
have posted a LOT of right-wing propaganda, most of which falls apart
pretty quickly when examined. Have you convinced anybody to join your side?

Now there's a really reliable and unbiased source. A propaganda web site
authored by a "media specialist" at the "Arts Academy in the Woods."



Well, I could respond to your post in your traditional manner...don't
like the message, attack the messenger....but I won't. I guess it
would be too much to ask for you to actually refute any specifics, but
specifics don't really count for you guys anyway, do they?

Don't worry Dave, your painful and ultimately fruitless task of
defending this administration will soon be over. Then you guys will
experience a return to the Golden Age of Republican whining and
blaming, rather than defending. It is so much easier to hatch those
conspiracy theories than it is to weave together any plausible excuses
for this group.

I also look forward to those days. I'll probably remove the AM button
from my radio and program all my FM stations to either NPR or
Classical:) Perhaps I'll move to Vermont and drive a Hybrid car and
spend my days drinking French wines. Feel free to drop by..but call
first:)

Nah...Dave wasn't attacking me, he was just dismissing the
information, very *specific* information provided at that site with
his broad brush of "I'm not willing to accept anything that the RNC
doesn't tell me". As my father used to tell me, "it is one thing to
try and fool other people, but don't ever make the mistake of trying
to fool yourself."

Here is another good database of votig records, by issue.

http://www.voterpunch.org/

It is quite interesting, and, again, provides sufficient detail that
you can see where they arrive at their information, unlike the crap
that Loco posted. In this case, Kerry is ranked, overall, as the 24th
most "progressive", i.e. "liberal" member of the Senate, with Edwards
coming in at 33rd. Not exactly the 1st and 4th we've been hearing,
but I guess it depends on who does the scorekeeping. Besides, I have
never seen anything that supports those ranks other than some
Republican spinmeister spouting it on the talk shows, anyway.

Yeh, but he's still an asshole.

Kerry Record? Thumped!!!
 
Felton,

I do believed you've thumped the conservatives ACE!! They don't like
it! The Conservatives can't stand to defend specifics. Not the way you
presented them. Innuendoes are their ways.

It may slant to the left but you've left damn little wiggling room,
with your reply.

Well done!!

Think about what has happened in Massachusetts.

It's the most liberal state in the Union. They've
destroyed the second amendment there. The
don't call it Taxachussets for nothing. Do we
want the US to be like that state? Heck no!

Nice try Bart,

I do think it would be nice to keep Conservative's view vs Liberal's
view on the front page for awhile.

Your comments are missing? Don't you have anything to say in rebuttal?
