Absolutes? I gave you several examples and could easily give you several dozen more with Alexander. Corker has yet to compound much of a voting record, but I am very familiar with him from his time as Mayor of Chattanooga. I supposed that must be one very steep curve!
Sens. Corker and Alexander are probably about at the same place on the political spectrum as Bill Frist and Fred Thompson, whom they replaced.
Despite his efforts to appear "moderate" Alexander is well left of Frist, who was a political lightweight at best, but Frist also voted for Medicare Part D. Thompson shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Alexander or Frist, IMHO. Make no mistake, Alexander is a Progressive through and through and it's long past time for him to go....

Perhaps you are more familiar with these senators' voting records than I am. I don't know.
I am unaware, however, of either Sen. Alexander or Sen. Corker having voted differently from the majority of Republicans, as concerning anything of major importance, prior to the recent passage of the ill-conceived START treaty.
Am I mistaken about this?
