Judas Joe is a full on liar and I have the proof right here!

[fooj]

Lieberman votes Dem 50% of the time. The GOP spin is that Judas Joe voted Dem as often as Kennedy. That's a total LIE! Kennedy's record shows 95% Dem vote. The MSM (per Rove one would assume) has been pushing this bullshit. I heard it myself on Hardball last evening. I thought it sounded a bit "off" and then I found this...

Here's the list of Democratic Senators which lists the percentage of times that they voted pro democratic interests. It's a ten month old list, but I'm sure you'll see the writing on the wall. It certainly explains alot, IMO.

<snip>
This update on Senate Dem voting adds the recent Roberts Supreme Court vote, the pro-gun vote of July 29, protecting gun manufacturers from civil liability actions, and the letter to Bush requesting that he not make a recess appointment of John Bolton to the U.N.

How does YOUR senator rate as an authentic Democrat?

[Debi]

1. Harkin = 85%

:bounce: I'd say he's authentic :bounce:

(except for that damn IWR vote.....x()


On edit:

bounch????

[fooj]

2. Yep. Take a look at Reid's voting record...

We need to get this info out there.

[mom cat]

31. I did! wow. That was worse than I thought!

[Norquist Nemesis]

3. Thank You!

90% of the time on which week of the calendar? It was obvious BS for Joe's dog and pony show.

[fooj]

4. We need to get this info out for the PUBLIC TO SEE!!!!

I can't get over the audacity of this imposter! Judas Joe has been a "mole" for a very long time, IMO. Look how many senators we have that vote UNDER 50%...it's unfrickinbelievable.

[MissWaverly]

9. Fooj, thank you, I bookmarked the link

Joe at 50% was only 5% from the Democrat is Republican category.

[fooj]

15. He's a mole. How can anyone doubt it at this point?

[MissWaverly]

16. I was thinking about him

He rarely had a real challenger so he didn't have to campaign with a big war chest, then
how did he get so beholden to the lobbies like big pharmaceuticals?

[fooj]

19. His WIFE is a lobbyist.

With Joe no longer a US Senator...no need for the wife, eh? Did you know the SOB raised over 1.5 million in the past 2 weeks? Dirty money. All of it!

[MissWaverly]

20. Oh, so that's how the milk gets into the coconut

yes, and all of it had strings attached.

[fooj]

24. You betcha!

:spank:

[El Supremo]

5. 30% for Salazar

"Lone Republidem"

And he says he supports Lieberman as an Independent!

Lordy lordy. Maybe I should have voted for Pete Coors.

[Jim__]

6. At least Salazar counts toward gettign a Dem majority.

But that's about all he counts for.

[fooj]

8. How many times has this asshole thrown the vote?

I can recall quite a few in the past year or so. I believe that it is time to take out the trash. These people have infiltrated our party. It's OBVIOUS!

[fooj]

7. Did you see how many senators we have under 50%?

It's apalling. I'd like to see a list of the Repubs voting record. I don't believe that any person should vote with a "rubber stamp"...IMO, that's not a democracy. However, it would be nice to see that ELECTED OFFICIALS are voting in the BEST interests of their constituents.

[MissWaverly]

10. yes, esp. when it comes to a war based on bad info

the Patriot Act, Warrantless Wiretapping, NSA, the Dubai Ports Deal, Social Security
I would like to think that my elected official didn't nod his head to Bush for those
deals

[fooj]

12. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

The one that surprised me the most was Biden. I'll be damned. You gotta give him credit for at least VOTING Dem 85% of the time. Not a bad percentage. Check out Hillary. If she was in my classroom she would be hanging on to a C- by the skin of her teeth.

And Harry Reid? Isn't he the MINORITY LEADER? At 65%? Ohhhhhh...please wake me from this nightmare!

[MissWaverly]

18. well at least my sen is at 75%, Barbara Mikulski

and I heard that she was the only one to give Michael Hayden a real grilling.

[Hawkeye-X]

14. Naw. I'd vote for Mike Miles

Like I did in the primary. Salazar has no shame.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. you mean - the pundits LIED in support of Lieberman?

[fooj]

13. Yep. Go figure.

:grr:

[Bumblebee]

17. Call him anything but please do not call him "Judas"! I know you do not

mean it that way but calling a Jewish politician "Judas" is too loaded. A simple "traitor" would do just as well...

[fooj]

21. I see your point. I guess I didn't consider that.

I just call 'em as I see 'em. At least it isn't SLANDER. I speak the TRUTH.

[Bumblebee]

25. Thanks for seeing my point :)

[EndElectoral]

22. Do you have a link on how many Repubs ever vote Dem?

[fooj]

23. No. I'd sure like to see a listing of their voting records!

[Contrary1]

26. Here you go...

Will take some time to go through, but well worth the effort.
Looks like Lieberman spends most of his time "Not Voting".

30. the Patrick Henry Democratic Club of California

tracks both Democrats and Republicans on the bills, amendments, resolutions, nominees, etc., it deems important in establishing voting scores ...

I suspect that most Hill politicians monitor what the major scoring organizations keep score on ... I was surprised to see Blanche Lincoln's score so high in the OP's link ... there's hardly a key vote without seeing the names Landrieu, Lincoln, etc., amongst the GOP votes.

I think it would be safe to say that the Republicans have rarely strayed from the Bu$h-Cheney agenda. I've been disappointed in many of the votes from so-called 'moderate' Republicans, i.e. Snowe, Collins. The 2006 election has caused a few to stray over vote against Bu$h bills. I'm thinking about DeWine in Ohio. A nice handful of Republicans voted against the Medicare Rx fiasco bill in 2003. Unfortunately, too many Democrats voted with the Republicans to pass it, i.e. Feinstein. Otherwise, that bill would not have passed the Senate. That would have been a big defeat for Bu$h.

anyhoo, here's the link fwiw
http://patrickhenrythinktank.org/sen-score7.html

the main page
http://www.patrickhenrythinktank.org/

for 2005, per the PHDC, Lieberman scored -255 ... compared to Clinton's +35 ... and, Boxer's +152.5 ... Frist, in comparison, scored -487.5 ...

[femrap]

27. That is great info....

I keep a notebook beside my computer and I record most of the votes in the Senate so I wasn't surprised by how very bad our Dems are. Salazar, the Nelson twins, Landrieu....well, you see them. They're not dems....I am quite sure that they're threatened by the pugs and the WH.....either you vote with us or your state gets NO MONEY and you will NOT be elected. And I'm sure the pugs can direct Corporate $ to these DINOs.

I want these DINOs OUT....having to get a job and living in one bedroom apartments

[fooj]

28. I see them as infiltrators...

This is NOT ok.

[femrap]

29. That is a good term for them....

'infiltrators.' I'll use that in the future.

[mom cat]

32. We need to start targeting those with failing scores for their next

primary. It is time to recruit the best progressives we have in their states and start working now. I live in MA where we have two of the best so I am making this reccommendation for those of you in states where we need to challenge the DINOS.
