By picking Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina as his running mate, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry gave the Democrats a ticket that represents the far left of their party.
The non-partisan National Journal rated Kerry the No. 1 most liberal senator in 2003. It rated Edwards the No. 4 most liberal senator.
On key issues over the past six years, the two too liberal Johns have voted like twins.

Out here we call that a "two holer."
voted for abortion, voted against partial birth abortion ban, says he is catholic, maybe it is just me but how can you be catholic and be for abortion and vote for giving abortion pills to schools? the bible teaches abstinence not murder. Kerry should show Americans how much values he and the other John have by standing up for some like being AGAINST partial birth abortion where the baby brains are sucked through a tube, YOU CALL THAT VALUES???
John Kerry, the #1 most liberal voting record in the Senate. John Edwards, the #4 most liberal voting record in the Senate. That's what Massachusets calls a "balanced ticket" - GWB.
