You are also full of it, pal.

Allen scored over 85 on the National Journal rating for Senators. For comparison, Kennedy scored 3, Kerry scored 13, and your secret fetish Hillary scored 20.

ALLEN RANKED 8TH MOST CONSERVATIVE IN AMERICA.

Get the facts before you shoot off your mouth.

Go back to kissing your hero Felix's ass, and get off mine. The National Journal rankings are ridiculously skewed. Orrin Hatch and Trent Lott scored as well or better than George Felix. And National Journal considers quite a few at best questionably conservative votes "conservative" in their survey, as well as having used the Brookings Institute to compile the votes.

For instance, NJ considered voting to put federal courts in charge of class action suits conservative. They considered voting against retaining the cap on U.S. contributions to U.N. peacekeeping operations to be conservative. Ditto confirming John Roberts. By that latter measure, 78 of 100% senators are conservative. They also mix in so many other judicial confirmation votes that the survey is certainly bilge.

Yet that's all you have to support Allen? How about these against him? He is for background checks at gun shows. He voted to maintain the offshoring tax subsidy. He voted for the Mikulski amendment to raise the H2-B numbers. He voted against the Sullivan amendment to force non-citizens to register during entry and exit from the U.S. He voted FOR the Kennedy amnesty amendment in 2005--TWICE.

And most important, while Governor, he supported the asinine Clinton-Feinstein gun ban. He oozes closet gun grabber, frankly, and I don't trust him any more than I trust Hillary. And I wouldn't vote for her, contrary to your childish comment otherwise. And the more I learn about Allen, the more I think he's everything the CFR would look for in a President, and the less I think I'd vote for him.

But still, I'd CONSIDER Allen if he'd come out strongly as I suggested above in favor of border control.
