"No candidate in the modern era has ever been elected president with a voting record that could be identified as his party’s most liberal or conservative, yet the National Journal found Obama to be the most liberal senator this past year after computing his Senate voting record."
And yet I recall with the simplest nostalgia that National Journal a mere four years ago "computed" that John Kerry's record made HIM The Most Liberal Member of the US Senate.
Now given the fact that Barack Obama was elected in'06, the Junior Senator from Illinois would have to come out for the forced collectivization of agriculture or making Mao's Birthday a National Day of Thanks in order to surge to the top of the "most liberal list" in just twenty four short months.
Either that or Joh Kerry accepted the GOP nuclear Jesus as his personal savior whilst windsurfing on Nantucket Sound...but we'd heard something about that we are bloggers after all.
It is either that or the National Journal is a haughty little rag whose methodology is all about affixing the "liberal blood libel" onto a candidate every four years.
It just speaks volumes about Steve Stark's cliche ridden mentality that he would regurgitate this sort of bumcombe sans reflection.
