CNN Insists Evan Bayh is 'No Liberal;' GOP 'Should Be Sad to See Him Go'

On Monday's Rick's List, CNN's Rick Sanchez and Jessica Yellin both tried to portray liberal Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh as a centrist. Yellin insisted, "Republicans should be sad to see Evan Bayh go because he is one of the centrists who worked very hard to work with Republicans." Sanchez replied, "Evan Bayh is no liberal!"

Actually, Bayh has a liberal voting record during his time in Senate. His lifetime ACU rating is 20.70, and his 2009 ADA score is 70%. That must be what CNN considers to be "centrist."

Why should we be “sad” to see him go? We’re going to replace him with a Republican.

I think it’s because he calls himself a centrist and doesn’t spout liberal tripe too much. How he votes, I guess, has no bearing on his true leanings...at least to the MSM.

After every democrat in both House and Senate voted for socialized medicine - there is no such thing as a moderate ‘rat. They don’t exist, they’re the fevered dream of some delirious pundit.

Well, CNN is the final arbiter on what is and is not liberal, isn’t it?

We should all be grateful that they’ve stepped in to educate us on this issue.

So Bayh is distancing himself for Zero YET, he voted for just about everything the Left put out there. Rule of thumb is that there is no such thing as a Moderate Democrat.

This is just CNN projecting - THEY are sad to see him go.

In their world, I doubt they could name three liberals. They don’t think democrats are liberals, they think they are normal and everyone else is an evil Republican.

Evan is much more to the Leftwingtard side than was his father Birch Bayh.

Although he voted pretty much as the Democrat party dictated, back in his day the party was still integrated and had Souvrn' Democrats who weren't all that different from Republicans (some even became Republicans later on). The Democrat party was not the piece of Leftwing nonsense it has become, so voting the party line wasn't all that abnormal.

Birch would always VOTE FOR anything that helped Indiana or his constituents in Indiana.

Evan Bayh cannot be counted on a VOTE FOR things that help Indiana or his constituents.

Guess ol' Birch forgot to tell his kid to take care of the homefolks first before you sell out to the pukes in DC.

Or, maybe this is one of Birch's secrets ~ that his son is retarded!

Voted NO on banning lawsuits against gun manufacturers for gun violence.

Vote to pass a bill that would block certain civil lawsuits against manufacturers, distributors, dealers and importers of firearms and ammunition, mainly those lawsuits aimed at making them liable for gun violence. In this bill, trade groups would also be protected The bill would call for the dismissal of pending lawsuits against the gun industry.

GEORGE WILL on Senator Evan Bayh: "Well, it's hard to take a lecture on bipartisanship from a man who voted against the confirmation of Chief Justice Roberts, the confirmation of Justice Alito, the confirmation of Attorney General Ashcroft, the confirmation of Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State.

Far from being a rebel against his Party's lockstep movement, Mr. Bayh voted for the Detroit bailout, for the stimulus, for the public option in the healthcare bill.

I don't know quite what his complaint is but, with metronomic regularity, we go through these moments in Washington where we complain about the government being broken.

These moments have one thing in common: The Left is having trouble enacting its agenda. No one when George W. Bush had trouble reforming Social Security said, 'Oh, that's terrible - the government's broken.'"

Doesn't matter. When Dems vote party over conscience, claimed ideology or country, they're untrustworthy vermin that just need to go. Pretty much covers ALL Demorats these days. Get you're damned priorities straight you stinking "moderate" or so-called "conservative" (any left?) Demorats, or non-Dems will never vote for you again. Voting lock-step with the hard-left communists in your party makes your claimed political leanings completely irrelevant. Who cares?
