Numbers Don't Lie

Talk about hypocrites. While the Democrat Party is busy espousing that they are THE party of change their voting record does not back them up. They are not fighting the established Washington in crowd they ARE the Washington in crowd.

The Democrats in the Senate have consistently voted with their majority party more than the Republicans. You have to go down the list 33 members (32 Democrats and 1 Independent) before you find a Republican that voted with his party as much as those above him. In fact of those on the top list 20 voting against their own party there are 17 Republicans and only 3 Democrats.

Comparing Presidential candidates their is even a larger disparity. The Democrats chosen one has voted with his party 96% (#12) of the time. An astonishing number from someone that is purporting change. His running mate has done an even better job voting with his party coming in at 96.6% and number 8 on the list, considerable higher than their opponent.

George Bush's supposed lap dog has voted with the Republican Party 88.3% of time making him number 64th on the list. It is quite evident that there is a lot more "reaching across the aisle" coming from the right than the left.

You don't have to believe me, you can check for yourself at The Washington Post.

I'm Just Saying - are the Democrats going to CHANGE they way they vote?
