I wanted to post this so people can see that just about all the Democratic Senators are voting with us most of the time. http://www.adaction.org/2003senatevr.htm

2. Not applicable. This is 2003 data |
|
It's now 2005. This data is outdated and does not apply to today.

3. They Didn't Have Numbers Compiled For 04 Yet... |
|
It would seem to be more logical to assume they are more or less the same than radically different...
Wouldn't you agree?

And 2005 is radically different, IMO.

these Senators have good records. I'm sure the 2004 records will reflect the same thing as will the 2005 records when the year is over. Its time to stop creating divisions where none exist.

11. No, you're saying that |
|
I'm saying I will hold their feet to the fire and try to defeat the ones I see as being divisive.

you are saying you are going to work to defeat Democrats with mostly progressive records. You are the one who is planting the seeds of division.

2003 was two years ago. Lieberman sucks. Feinstein has sold out for a $600 million contract.
Boith deserve defeat and I will do whatever I can to see both defeated in teh primaries. They should lose their jobs!
Don't like it? TOO BAD IT'S MY CHOICE!

16. I bet when the 2004 rankings come out |
|
they will show the same thing. They won't be obsolete at all. You have the right to your own opinion, but you don't have the right to your own facts.

23. It doesn't mean shit if the ratings don't reflect the votes that matter to |
|
me.
And your precious ratings don't reflect these sorts of votes, so your preciouys ratings are meaningless to me and my opinion. The votes that matter to me are not taken into account br the raters, so the ratings are bullshit on their face.

When REAL Democrats overwhelmingly renominate both Joe and DiFi, I will have a good, hearty laugh at your expense.

18. I think he is saying he will work to elect Democrats who will have better |
|
progressive records.
Saying someone voted "with us" a certain percentage of the time is meaningless ehn the information is 1) old 2) not weighted to my particular values.

19. ADA is a beacon of liberalism |
|
their rating serve to point out which members are voting like progressives. I submit that the ratings stay consistent for most members over time. It is certainly weighted to liberal values.

They should provide this -- lets you know if the score is a one-time abberation or a consistent measure.

7. Chaffee at 65% is the highest-rated Republican |
|
Actually higher than Breaux, Landrieu and Miller (not a surprise there). Followed closely by Snowe (55) and Collins (45) of Maine.

Breaux was really bad. Miller wasn't really a Dem. Landrieu runs is a tough place for a Dem to win.

17. I'm impressed with Lieberman's 70% rating |
|
It's the lowest among democrats in the northeast, but still higher than Chaffee (65%) a Republican from RI.

it points out that Lieberman should still be much better, but he's still better than any Republican.

It rates him higher than Dodd in 2002. Which is 100% insane.
You have to remember that you have to give in sometimes if you want to be a member of a party. Check out Jeffords records before and after he left the GOP. =)
