I don't care if he's the 3rd most liberal, 5th most liberal, or the 2nd most liberal - point is he's too liberal, even if one can say he's "to the right" of Ted Kennedy. Look up his voting record - it's depressing.
Why should I find it depressing? it agrees with my ideals.
Anyway, the point is simply that people should quit saying Kerry is the SINGLE MOST LIBERAL senator. Not that he is a rather liberal senator. Call him too liberal for you, fine. But don't say he is the single most liberal senator. I probably hate Norm Coleman more than any other senator, but I would never claim he is the most conservative senator (although he is nowhere near as moderate as he campaigned as)
Which voting record? The pro Iraq war, pro free trade one?
I never said he was the SINGLE most liberal senator. All I said was that he's in good company! The point about Inhofe is that is he far enough left that you'd vote for him? When you get so far left or right, a distinction like the one you're railing against becomes irrelevant.
