Do not doubt the Leftist extremism of Wisconsin Democrats Tammy Baldwin and Gwen Moore.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Tammy Baldwin and Gwen Moore had the most liberal voting record in the House last year, sharing that distinction with five Democrats from other states, according to the National Journal's latest scorecard on congressional votes.
Other highlights from the non-partisan magazine's ratings, which come out every year:
Wisconsin had the 8th most liberal Democratic delegation in the House, after Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Hawaii, California, Maryland and Vermont.
For two years, Baldwin and Moore have been pushing to pursue the impeachment of President Bush.
Yes, they are way out in left field. Even fringe Leftist Sen. Russ Feingold hasn't pushed for impeachment. He wanted to censure the President but not impeach him.
Speaking of Feingold...
In the Senate, Democrat Russ Feingold was rated the 10th most liberal (Barack Obama was number one), and Democrat Herb Kohl was rated the 22nd most liberal.
The magazine rates lawmakers based on 206 House and Senate votes, using an elaborate formula that weights votes and codes them as liberal or conservative.
...For example, it gives Feingold a liberal percentile score of 88.5, meaning he was more liberal than 88.5% of his Senate colleagues in 2007. Kohl’s score was 77.3.
Of course, Feingold is a liberal. We all know that. However, I think many Wisconsinites think of Kohl as at least being somewhat moderate. Obviously, being in the upper quartile of libs places Kohl out of moderate range.
Note that the magazine ranks Barack Obama as the number one lib in the Senate. NUMBER ONE!
That's not a great ranking for a presidential candidate.
I wonder if John McCain will declare that it's off limits to discuss Obama's voting record. Don't mention Obama's middle name Hussein and don't call him a liberal. Perhaps McCain will distance himself from the magazine's rankings and declare the list to be fear-mongering.
But I digress.
