Martin Frost a "Moderate" or "Centrist"? Don't be Fooled.

The media has already begun to paint Martin Frost, the congressman from Texas who is competing with Nancy Pelosi for the House minority leader post, as a "moderate" and a "centrist."

Have a look below at the ratings from various interest groups (as gleaned from the Project Vote Smart web site).

Far from a moderate, Frost is a predictable liberal. Pro-abortion without restriction, anti-gun, big tax and spender - on issue after issue, he fits the typical liberal profile.

In some meaningless hypothetical manner is Frost to the right of Nancy Pelosi? I suppose so. But then again, so is Leon Trotsky!

National Right to Life Committee - 0% Planned Parenthood - 100% NARAL (National Abortion Rights League) - 100% National Federation of Independent Business (Small Business) - 11% Small Business Survival Committee - 8% Christian Coalition - 0% ACLU - 69% NAACP -93% Human Rights Campaign (gay rights) = 100% Family Research Council (family values) - 0% American Conservative Union - 4-25% NEA (teachers union) - 100% Children's Defense Fund (Hillary's alma mater) - 93% National Rifle Association - F Coalition to Stop Gun Violence - 100% Pro-labor (ratings from a wide variety of unions) - 91-100% Citizens Against Government Waste - 4% Americans for Tax Reform - 10% National Taxpayers Union - 9% League of Private Property Voters - 10%

he will continue the Democrats' leftward drift toward electoral oblivion..

Bingo, this guy is a real snake. He will be so much easier to beat up than Pelosi, who would have the clout to muster the wrath of the far let perverted media in defense any stupid fringe position she advances, and hind behind her skirts, ie; Hillary. Frost doesn't have any natural ideological allies in the party on any level, except that they are all run-of-the-mill, lying / socialist / communist / Maoist / perverts. Pity, Frost will not get the position, just having him, a meally mouthed weasel, that would be the equivelant to fingernails on a blackboard every night on the networks, would.

Hi people from DU. I was banned at your website so I can't answer your questions there, but I know you have this link.

In response to the charge that I am lying, I am not. Pelosi IS a member of the House Progressive Caucus, which is the creation of the Democratic Socialists of America. They TOOK THE LINK OFF OF THEIR PAGE. You can find a cached verison with a Google search. (i love google)

Since you wont trust anything from a right-wing site, I'm going to link to a left-wing site that says the Progressive Caucus was formed by the DSA. I hope that helps to clear things up.

In response to the paragraph-by-paragraph refuation, I never bothered to analyze who was being nice, and who was playing dirty pool. I didn't want to bother with media bias, because it's irrelevant to my point. I wanted to avoid questions of right and wrong and go straight into questions of winning and losing. My post was not intended to argue that Republicans are nice people who deserve to win, it was intended to argue that picking Pelosi is a REALLY bad idea for Dems.

And if anyone from DU reads this, can you please post this link: http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:HAjTmwvmYlMC:www.dsausa.org/pc/pc.members.html+pelosi+progressive+caucus&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

thanks.
