March 28, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton scored an "F" in her first year in Congress by voting for more new government spending than any of her 99 colleagues, an anti-tax group reports. Clinton set a record, getting a 3 percent rating for her 2001 voting record, the lowest score ever for a freshman and lower than any other senator, according to the National Taxpayers Union. Sen. Charles Schumer scored 9 percent, according to the group, which reviewed 194 Senate votes cast last year for their relative impact on taxpayers. Clinton dismissed the ranking: "Getting a high score from this group would mean cutting billions of dollars in aid for New York," she said through a spokesman. Among New York House members, the lowest score went to Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Manhattan), with 6 percent, while Rep. Vito Fossella (R-S.I.) claimed the highest score, 68 percent.

Look, if the Dem leadership and Gore had called for Clinton to resign after he admitted that he lied to the grand jury, the incumbent president Gore would have been elected easily in 2000...no bones about it....and then, where the hell would the country be today? Scary thought.....ken5050
