[Clintonista2]

1. Thank you, the "Hillary is conservative" meme on DU is slowly but surely disapearing

[William769]

5. No it's not.

But they are looking like the fools that they are for posting it though.

[jgraz]

2. Yes. Especially if you're also a triangulating stealth corporatist

How many of these "liberal" issues did she take the lead on? How many of these horrid nominations did she block? Voting stats are very easy to hide behind, but the real indications of someone's political leanings are the issues they choose to work for or against -- like anti-flag-burning legislation and the Workplace Religious Freedom act.

Why would any liberal throw their power as a Senator behind that? Especially when they refuse to speak out on things like the confirmation of Alberto Gonzales and the Iraq War supplemental?

[terminal_concept]

3. Thanks for the info

I was going to www.washintonpost.com to get mine.
I notice Hillary has a very high rating for voting with the Democratic party.
Not always good IMO,but almost always good.
We need to collect more voting records like this to avoid the propaganda.

[rinsd]

4. Project vote smart does an excellent job on this stuff.

Feel free to use the link in the OP to check out the other candidates.

[redqueen]

6. It's not so easy to tell... the title of a bill sometimes doesn't say much.

Do you know by doing the cut & paste, you've included TONS of duplicate entries in your post.

[Clintonista2]

7. Those aren't duplicates. Look at the dates.

[redqueen]

10. I did. Did you? n/t

[Clintonista2]

13. Yep, and the dates are different.

Bills are often voted on, changed, and voted on again.

[redqueen]

14. Look again!

And be careful not to compare the dates next to the listings that are grouped together... they are grouped that way in my post because I simply trimmed the OP... so the bills that were listed under more than one category appear more than once in my post... and if you check the dates... :hi:

[Clintonista2]

15. Post 2 identical dates for the same bill please. nt.

[redqueen]

16. They're in my first response there!

You want me to post them again? :shrug:

[Clintonista2]

17. Try looking at the date of the months, not the year

;)

[redqueen]

18. *sigh*

I don't think you're reading very carefully.

Let me try this again... give me a few minutes (it's an annoyingly long and repetative list).

[Clintonista2]

19. You don't have to post the WHOLE LIST

Just take one vote that was posted twice, and post them side by side.

[redqueen]

21. Are you serious?

I already edited the fuck out of it once to make it easier to look through...

Anyway I've already done it. I only highlighted two. That should be enough to get you to slow down and look more carefully.

:hi:

[redqueen]

20. Okay, here ya go...

I'm highlighting only a few for time's sake, but please notice there's lots more.

22. Oh, I see. There's a very simple explanation for that...

Some votes can be fitted under both headings. For instance, "Prohibiting U.S. Assistance for Groups that Support Coercive Abortion NV" can be considered under both Abortion issues & foreign aid issues, because it has to do with both abortion and foreign aid.

[redqueen]

24. Yeeeaaaaah... see my post #9.

:hi:

[rinsd]

8. They are not neccesarily duplicates.

They could be similar sounding bills or even near identical bills that come up for votes more than once.

The link I included has hyper links to these bills.

Not that you don't know him backwards and forwards but here's Kucinich's record for consumption

http://www.vote-smart.org/voting_category.php?can_id=318

[redqueen]

9. Same dates.

They are cross-indexed under different categories, is what is happening.

[rinsd]

11. Ahhhh.

Yeah sorry about that, this was a quick cut and paste job.

[redqueen]

12. It's all right, I know you didn't intentionally do it...

it just makes it harder to assess the info. :hi:

Most, when faced with trying to make sense of such a deluge... just go "ah fuck it" and move on. :P

[redqueen]

23. Is anyone else concerned about any of these?

Like I said, the names of the bills sometimes aren't so revealing... but voting for Negroponte is pretty clear. As are the free-trade bills, which, for me... well... what was the question in the OP again?

[redqueen]

25. Oh yeah... does it look conservative. Well, no... but does it look corporatist?

I say... um, yeah.

:hide:
