IT’S OFFICIAL!
Kerry/Edwards Make History, More Liberal Than Mondale/Ferraro
________________________________________

Kerry: “I’m a liberal and proud of it.”
(“Gee, There Were So Many In 1988,” St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 7/21/91)

1984 DEMOCRAT VEEP CHOICE CALLED
“THOROUGHLY” LIBERAL

1984 Associated Press Headline: “Democratic Veep Choice Thoroughly A Political Liberal.” “The Americans for Democratic Action and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are worlds apart on most matters, but they agree that Rep. Geraldine Ferraro is a liberal. Reviewing the New York Democrat’s voting record on major issues last year, the liberal ADA gave her a 90 percent rating. From its conservative vantage point, the business group awarded Ms. Ferraro a score of 16 percent.” (David Goeller, “Democratic Veep Choice Thoroughly A Political Liberal,” The Associated Press, 7/13/84)

ADA: KERRY/EDWARDS MORE LIBERAL
THAN MONDALE/FERRARO

Über-Liberal Kerry Outranks Walter Mondale:

ü      Walter Mondale’s Lifetime Rating From Liberal Americans For Democratic Action (ADA) Was 90%. (Americans For Democratic Action Website, www.adaction.org, Accessed 7/6/04)

ü      John Kerry’s Lifetime ADA Rating Is 92%. (Americans For Democratic Action Website, www.adaction.org, Accessed 7/6/04)

Left-Wing Edwards More Liberal Than Geraldine Ferraro:

ü      Geraldine Ferraro’s Lifetime Rating From ADA In 1984 Was 79%. (Paula Schwed, “Ferraro Hailed By House, Dismisses Critics,” United Press International, 7/24/84)

ü      John Edwards’ Lifetime ADA Rating Is 81%. (Americans For Democratic Action Website, www.adaction.org, Accessed 7/6/04)

Americans For Democratic Action (ADA) Vote Ratings Serve As Liberal Benchmark. “Since ADA’s founding in 1947, the Annual Voting Records have served as the standard measure of political liberalism. Combining 20 key votes on a wide range of social and economic issues, both domestic and international, the Liberal (LQ) provides a basic overall picture of an elected official’s political position.” (Americans For Democratic Action Website, www.adaction.org, Accessed 7/6/04)
