by whom? you and some right wing blogger or foxnews?

raycarey

oh the irony.

how many times have you posted "(sic)"---which by the way is accurately written as "[sic]"----on this forum? or pointed out irrelevant typos?

heh.

Tchiowa

Hi Ant glad you have taken the time away from the Kiddies to post here about Osama and the fact he was Muslim and converted to Christanity.

You poof.

Milkman

By Who? What organization? Link?

Anyway, look at George W. Bush. GWB is very liberal on many issues:

*Immigration

*NCLB, No Child Left Behind Act

*Medicare Reform which will further bankrupt the USA.


Among other policies.

Leaving aside your personal insults for now, which btw don't make your comments any more 'reasoned', quite the opposite in fact, info about Obama's religious beliefs and their history is readily available on the net.
Why don't you (and others) inform yourself, it would make your rants look a little less idiotic.

Seems like a pretty dubious survey alright -

"That's because the big finding the (National) Journal is trumpeting this time around is that the Senate's most liberal member in 2007 was Sen. Barack Obama. That puts him ahead of, for example, Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold. Oh, and it also puts him ahead of an actual socialist, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. And then there's the man at No. 3, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, hardly known as a raging lefty. Biden comes in ahead of both Feingold and Sanders as well. (Sen. John Kerry was ranked as the most liberal in 2003, another distinction that seems dubious and became a campaign issue.)"
Barack Obama: The Most Liberal Senator? An Analysis

So Obama is more liberal than Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist? And Russ Feingold, known as fairly liberal on most issues? And, as the article states, the same magazine found Kerry the most Liberal senator in 2003 - as he commenced his democratic Presidential run.

Anyway, every candidate this years is more Liberal than the disastrous neo-con's, and thats a good thing.

Heres another excerpt that doesn't back up that survey at all_

"Okay, so Obama’s not the most liberal senator. But who is?
One answer can be found here, in Lewis and Poole’s Optimal Classification ranking of voting patterns the 110th Senate. Here’s a description of the method. This measure isn’t quite “liberal vs conservative” but it does tell you which senators are most alike, as based on their voting records and boiled down to a single dimension. For the Democrats, Russ Feingold, Chris Dodd and Bernie Sanders are on one side, with Tim Johnson, Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson on the other. In the 110th congress, there are 10 senators who are closer to Feingold than Obama is. (Of course, the 110th session is only half over.) In the 109th, for which there’s complete voting data, there were 20. In the 109th session only three places separated Obama and Clinton—they were ranked 21st and 25th respectively. So far in the 110th session, eight places separate them. It’s Obama who has moved."

Getting what? What am I guilty of now o mighty midget? Is Tchiowa my alter ego or just one of my alter egos? C'mon let's have whatever's fomenting in your wretched mind.

stroller

Erm, let me help out here, have you read this bit, Walter:

"Obama was never a Muslim."

AntRobertson

What you're guilty of now is gross silliness, inability to read and comprehend what is really a fairly simple passage, changing the subject and lack of intestinal fortitude to stand up and admit to the fact you made a mistake.

And I'm being generous there in calling it a mistake. Such has been your disingenuous ducking and diving I'm rather starting to think it was an outright, knowing and intentional, lie.

Google is your friend - can't be arsed to even cite it for you since you are w/out a doubt, too dense to appreciate some basics...

AntRobertson

^I thought the issues rule was to provide links/evidence?

You and keda could both do with a refresher course by the looks.

chinthee

^I think the Issues rule only applies to the OP. Poster are free to fire away, AFAIK. Kao Jai Mai, Ant?

Boon Mee

Read or watch the news?
It's a fact, Jack, a congressional ranking done each year/quarter - whatever...ranks Senators on their Conservative/Liberal voting.

Obama ranks the most Liberal of all 100 Senators

AntRobertson

Is that so? Hmm, interesting. So, following the OP, you're basically free to post a load of unsubstantiated bollocks then. Cool.
First up in your refresher course - using "it's a fact" and "... whatever" in the same sentence is ill-advised.

Anyways it's utter bollocks that you're just making up. Google it if you don't believe me: "Obama+not what Booners says he is"

chinthee

^Yes, I think that's true. After the OP has thoroughly researched the subject and provided links, you are free to terrorize the thread with unsubstantiated personal opinions and assertions.

Enjoy.

AntRobertson

^ ... You mean I've been holding back this entire time for nothing??


Sweet...

chinthee

^Yes, you should take a page from our illustrious German founder, heir Stroller.

Intimidate, bully, and fake it wherever possible.

Boon Mee

Hmmm...looks the the sabbatical K. ant has taken of late with his rhetoric - reduction appears to be coming to a close, eh?

AntRobertson

Don't talk to me of rhetoric, Blog-Boy.
