31. 13 of our 19 DLC senators vote with Repubs
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 09:11 PM by Zodiak Ironfist
50% or more of the time. They are a huge voting block that can scuttle any Democratic attempt at ameliorating the effects of this war. What the "little ones" in the DLC is still very important, if not noticed.

But I agree....Al From himself is not that dangerous. Nelson, Nelson, Lincoln, Pryor, Salazer, Landrieu, Carper, Leiberman, and Conrad, on the other hand, are notorious Republican voters.

As an interesting side-note, Kerry is one of our top 10 senators. I am not knocking him for what he does in the Senate and I don't think any of us should (unless he suddenly becomes a RWer, whch he is not).

Hillary is about #16 or so. I won't knock her, either, although I disagree with a lot of her talking points as of late.

You want a target-rich environment of DLCers to not like? There are plenty at the bottom of the list. The aforementioned ones are the most egregious, and their votes count the same as the "big guns".
