By any measure he is an extremely liberal Senator. That is FACTUAL from his voting record and previous publicly stated positions. Not from a talking head.

His past close associations are FACT not from some talking head.

No "talking head" forced him to sit for 20 years in a radical church under a radical pastor espousing Black Liberation Theology and accusing the Federal Government of creating AIDS to kill Black people!!!

Puleeeze!!! Stop it with the idea that we are all just stupid numb robots listening to talk radio. We have brains and see the evidence.
CC I would never make that sort of broad generalization about people that I have never met or know very little about. My whole point agrees with your line about seeing the evidence. I just want to see facts. It is not enough for me to have a faceless group of people tell me that he votes the most liberal. I wanted to see the actual votes and the actual issues and see the criteria and determine for myself whether I agree or disagree with his votes.
According to the rating system, they tell you that they are not grading him as it relates to the issues, but instead on how his votes compare to other politicians. In this day of partisan politics that is not enough for me. I had to see the actual votes and the actual issues.

Here is the link, if anyone is interested. http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/votes.htm
