The 19 most left-wing members of the U.S. Senate
Examiner ^ | July 23, 2012 | Robert Elliott

Posted on 07/23/2012 8:54:13 PM PDT by FL2012

According to the American Conservative Union, the following 19 Senators compiled the most left-wing voting record in 2011. These scores are based on 20 separate votes that were taken by the U.S. Senate in 2011. A score of 0.00 indicates that the senator voted against the conservative position in each of these 20 votes (in a few instances, the senator did not cast a vote).

Baraq used to lead the pack before he got elected POTUS.

And I bet they call themselves “mainstream”. But Those up for re election this year consider the Republican a far right extremist. Hey where’s Menendez & Lautenberg? What was their one good vote?

What an embarrassing line up of losers. Way to go, voters. Keep on electing this trash, then disapprove Congress < 10%.

Idiots all.

Which are those up for re-election?

We need to burn those names in our minds and do what we can to get them out of there before they can do any more damages to our country!

Begich can be challenged in 2014 by guess who? If It doesn’t happen we will all know that the fix is in.

Linda Lingle(HI) and Heather Wilson(NM) will go a long way towards our goal simply because their predecessors were 30 year liberals in the senate. Throw Scott Brown(MA) into the mix. It’s all we can hope for-they are at least stepping up to the plate.

I would be surprised if Palin ran. I think Gov. Sean Parnell would be a better bet (though virtually ANY Republican will likely beat the moonbat Begich).

Barbara Boxer Shorts is more liberal than her sister Senator, DiFi

In a similar vein, the twin on the left is heavier than his brother on the right. They're both chubby, well beyond anything healthy or even sane.

WHOA!

Where is one of my Senators Sen. Pat "Depends/Leaky" Leahy?

From the People's Socialist Republic of Utopian Moonbats (Vermont)

The TRAITOROUS Rat Bas-TURD, who should still be serving hard time in Leveanworth?

I just went back and checked the records to refresh my memory from the "Americans for Democratic Action" (the Left's equivalent of the ACU) and has as it's "Mission" to be a "forthright liberal voice of this nation."

And I remembered correctly

I picked a year (2005) at random and here are their "scores"

Massachusetts

Kennedy, E. (D ) + + + + + + X + + + + + + + + + + + + + 95
Kerry (D ) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 100

Vermont

Jeffords (I) + + + + + + + + X - + + + + + + + + + + 90
Leahy (D) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 100

Which proves that in the past (and nuttin' has changed) Leahy's voting record was MORE liberal than the dearly departed far, far left Moonbat Ted Kennedy's.
