Nah, not lazy at all. What I propose is a simple review of the voting record by congressional session. It will be much more challenging and revealing that reading about it through your filter.

I'll let ya know what I discover. There is also the added benefit of seeing how he voted in comparison to Kennedy, who's name is just above his in the record.

It's nice you like to give direction to his record through your sites. I choose to go to an impartial site. That is Ok, right?

What people fail to take into account when a congressperson is running for president is that most votes are along party lines, and the outcome is arranged well before the actual vote.

There are some important issues where the members of congress will actually consider the issue and make an independent decision on how to vote, but mostly they vote as the party whip tells them to.

This is true of both parties.
