Ya we've already had several threads debunking this. I'm not going to repeat everything from those threads, but suffice it to say that the National Journal's methodology of ranking a vote as "liberal" or "conservative" is very flawed.

Yeah, it was Gore that was most liberal, then it was Kerry. How did Kerry lose the title?

Obama is more liberal than a socialist?

Bull****.

Do any of you doubt that the most conservative are just that? I mean, come on, John Cornyn, Jim Demint. I would say those two are very conservative. Cornyn is my senator. I get regular email updates from his office. He is to conservative on some issues for Sgt Rock.

Lets look at Obama's voting record what little of it there is. Hence, the labels greenhorn, noob, wet behind the ears, inexperianced upstart.

The following link is to the Washington Post. it list some of the more important bills, nominations and resolutions that have come before congress and how Obama voted on them.

It looks to me like his voting record is very liberal. Anyway why wouldn't you liberals be proud of Obama being the most liberal member of congress? Kandahar, what about you, your a liberal, are you ashamed that Obama is a liberal?

No, but why don't conservatives nominate the most conservative candidate?
