Hillary Votes Show Her True Colors !
From Newsmax.com
While Hillary Clinton has tried to cozy up to moderates and conservatives by backing Republican-sponsored legislation, her voting record shows she's still to the left of two potential rivals for the Democratic presidential primary in 2008.
The senator from New York has co-sponsored a smaller percentage of Republican bills than Sen. John Kerry and former Sen. John Edwards, who were named last year as the two most liberal senators by National Journal.
"Contrary to conventional wisdom that she is repositioning herself toward the center, Clinton's legislative record has been consistent throughout her time in the Senate," reports The Hill.
An analysis by the publication found that in each of the three Congresses she has served in, Clinton has co-sponsored one Republican-sponsored bill or amendment for about every three Democratic-sponsored bills or amendments.
Kerry and Edwards, on the other hand, have both co-sponsored one Republican bill or amendment for approximately every two pieces of Democratic legislation.
What's more, only 17 percent of Clinton's bills and amendments garnered at least one Republican co-sponsor in the 108th Congress, compared to 21 percent for Kerry. And for the 107th Congress, the figures were 28 percent for Clinton versus 46 percent for Kerry.
Clinton recently joined Majority Leader Bill Frist (Tenn.) to co-sponsor a bill on health-information technology.
Other Republicans who have sponsored bills with Clinton's support include Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.), Sen. Sam Brownback (Kan.), Sen. Chuck Hagel (Neb.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and even Sen. John Thune (S.D.), who unseated Minority Leader Tom Daschle.
But "you have to take her legislative record as a whole," Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, told The Hill.
"You can't allow senators to pick out specific votes or bills and allow them to define themselves for PR purposes."
Ken's note - just as we all thought, the Hilldabeast will do whatever she sees as necessary to make the bid for the White House!
