Liberal vs. Conservative

  • 10 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

The National Journal has released its rankings of members of congress based on their voting records being either liberal or conservative. Colorado Confidential has the numbers of the Colorado delegation, which shows the most liberal member to be Rep. Diana DeGette and the most conservative…former Rep. Bob Beauprez.

Rep. Mark Udall, the likely Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, has a 74 liberal rating – nearly 14 points below DeGette. So much for the “Boulder Liberal” label.

  1. I especially liked the Economic vs. Social vs. Foreign Policy breakouts, which tell a more involving story.

    It’s no surprise that Musgrave is a social ultra-conservative, nor that Beauprez was an economic and foreign policy Bush parrot.

    Fun Stuff.

    1. So, perhaps Coloradopols ought to change the Big-Line to show the reality that Udall is a lot more like Ritter and Salazar than ‘conventional wisdom’.

    2. Tom Tancredo and Mark Udall are less extreme than Diana DeGette and Marilyn Musgrave.

      Udall’s liberal rating is 74.0. Tancredo’s conservative rating is a more moderate 73.3.

      DeGette’s liberal reading is a radical 87.8; Musgrave’s conservative rating is a more moderate 86.7.

      On social issues, DeGette is a radical 84, on economic issues, 85, on foreign, 92. Tancredo is 85 on social issues, 81 on economic and a middle of the road, near liberal 51 on foreign. So, who’s the wingnut?

      Musgrave’s social issues rating is 92, more radical than DeGette’s liberal rating of 84.  And Musgrave’s economic conservative rating is 89 compares with DeGette’s 85, while Musgrave is a right-center 73 while DeGette’s is a hard left 92.

      So our most wingnut members of Congress are Musgrave and DeGette, not Udall or Tancredo.

        1. Mike Rosen goes on the air everyday and tells his audience what to believe based on an bizarre political geometry  which he alone understands…..who is left, far left, right and his audience does not have to think for themselves.  They are brainwashed. 

          Let us not go there.  We are thinking partisans and we don’t have to do that.
          The numbers which count are votes….and polls as long as Zogby isn’t doing them.

  2. I admit that I don’t know the “National Journal” from ‘Adam’s off Ox.’
    But why care when this arcane ranking system includes two no longer present folks?
    Wimp Liberals vs 19th Century conservatives?
    What next? Who has a difficult time detecting the difference?

  3. Just yesterday, I went off on a rant about there not being liberals or conservatives here. And now, It appears that we have a few. I actually did think about Degette as liberal, but ….

  4. OMG……. He actually out did Musty and Tancredo on the right wing meter?  Is it possible that we had Bob pegged the wrong way when we labeled him “Both Ways”?  Maybe he only swings to the right and he was just faking moves to the middle…..
