24. Bayh's record
http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Evan_Bayh.htm

Voted down a criminal penalty for harming unborn fetus during another crime.
Voted to allow abortions on foreign military bases.
Voted to add sexual orientation to hate crimes.
Voted down increasing penalties for drug offenders.
Voted to spend $400 billion+ of the tax cut on education.
Opposes Bush's voucher proposal (rated 91% by the NEA).
Voted down drilling in ANWR.
Voted down ending discussion on raising CAFE standards.
Voted down banning lawsuits on gun manufacturers.
Voted down ending Clinton's ergonomic rules.

And there's plenty more. No, he's not ideal, but to say he's 100% behind Bush is just ridiculous - at most, 50%, which, yeah, sucks.

If you're going to criticize someone, criticize them right.

You can find stuff for Libermann at the same site.
