Neither of us would benefit even slightly from your putting up the detailed argument that would justify that.

Doesn't need that detailed of arguement.

Just his voter ratings.

Americans For Democratic Action Lifetime rating 92%
adaction.org
(compare to 90% for Ted Kennedy, 90% for Walter Mondale, 83% for Tom Daschle)

NARAL lifetime rating of 100%

National Right to Life Committee lifetime rating of 0%

Has a lifetime rating of 26% from Citizens Against Government Waste.

Has a lifetime rating of 0% from the National Rifle Association.

American Conservative Union lifetime rating 5%
(third lowest figure in the Senate)

American Shareholders Association Year: 2004 - 0% (Also 0% of 2003)

American's for tax reform 2004 - 0% (Also 0% for 2003)

Re: Gore

To call him a slightly left of center Dem is about right.

Sometimes he is about at the center. OTOH he is at least left now, and "Earth in the Balance" is far left (on the American political spectrum)

-----------------

But all of this positioning stuff is something just to kill a bit of time. Not going to move the earth one way or the other.

Your probably right. I guess I'll drop it if you will. Particuarly with Gore who is harder to pin down and has a less clear record than Kerry does.

Congrats on the #10,000 grub - and congrats to everyone who made the thread work so well the last eight months.

Civil discussion is not completely dead yet.
