HILLARY LURCHING LEFT

By IAN BISHOP Post Correspondent

January 23, 2006 -- VOTES WITH SENATE LIBS AT 96% CLIP

WASHINGTON — Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton votes with her party's liberal leaders nearly 100 percent of the time — undermining her drive to the middle on issues like banning flag burning and talking tough on Iran.

Clinton voted the party line at a 96 percent clip last year, according to an analysis of 229 Senate votes conducted by Congressional Quarterly — second among 2008 Dem White House hopefuls only to Sen. John Kerry, who toed the line 97 percent of the time. <snip>

2. Yeah, like we're gonna believe THAT
after the record she's got on stupid right wing social issues, Medicare, the Patriot Act, and idiocy like an anti flag burning amendment.

Anybody who trusts a move a millimeter to the left on her part needs to buy my beachfront house in New Mexico, sight unseen, I'll give you a great deal.

3. Methodology?
On what roll call votes? To open the Senate Journal, to close the Senate journal, to adjourn for the day, to move the previous question and other procedural bullshit.

5. What amazingly humorous propaganda.
NY Post thinks if you write it, they will believe.....which is true and why liars own the media.

6. Gee, I wonder what the Repigs' voting percentages are

Somewhere closer to 100 percent than Kerry's score?
