There's no significant difference between the two major parties?

Thanks to redandstinky (a new DU-er) for this information! :toast:

Here are voting records compiled by the AFL-CIO and the ACLU on issues such as eliminating overtime pay, the Medicare "deform" law, tax cuts for the rich, privatization, school vouchers, worker health and safety, judicial nominations, retirement issues, extension of unemployment benefits, free trade, reproductive rights, expansion of unconstitutional government surveillance powers and publicizing information about prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. The percentage listed indicates the number of times the legislator voted for worker rights or civil rights and liberties in the 108th Congress.

What difference would it make? You decide…

(Percentages shown below reflect the number of times the elected official voted with the labor movement and civil libertarians on certain issues, respectively. For example, Dennis Hastert never voted with the labor movement or for civil liebrties in the last two years, whereas Nancy Pelosi voted 87% of the time with labor and 80% of the time for civil liberties.)

1. While I agree there is a difference

this is an unfair comparision. Hassert only votes in case of a tie, which is very uncommon. A fairer and more informative comparision would be with Delay, where that statement probably still is true and he actually votes.

3. Check the link. Hassert was ONE of many examples.
