Do you consider having a 92% voting record that
supports President Barack Obama’s agenda, moderate? I sure as hell don’t. But that’s what Senator Kay Hagan wants us to believe. She is running ads
touting her moderate credentials. And
where does she get this notion of being a moderate? Why, the National Journal of course:
In 2012, National Journal rated Hagan the
sixth most moderate Democrat in the Senate. In the three preceding years, she
came in at 22nd, 11th and 15th.
The Hagan campaign
defended her record Thursday, saying she is proud of her most moderate ranking
and has broken with the president on votes when she felt it was the right thing
to do for North Carolina.
“She opposed the
president on the FDA regulation of tobacco; she voted against the budget last
year that cut too much from defense spending; she supports Keystone pipeline
and repatriation, just to name a few instances,” said Hagan campaign press
secretary Chris Hayden. “While Kay has proven to be an independent voice for
North Carolina, Speaker Tillis passed an anti-middle class budget that catered
to the wrong priorities of the special interests by cutting $500 million from
education spending to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy.
Liberals love moving the goal post. How can anyone consider a 92% voting record
with Senator Harry Reid and President Barack Obama as moderate is beyond
me. National Journal’s ranking demonstrates
just how far left the Democratic Party has gone. These people are extremist. This
is not mainstream America.
