Congressman Murphy of the 8th District in Southeastern PA claims he is a “Blue Dog” Democrat, but his voting record tells another story:
Murphy claims he is a, “moderate” although he constantly votes with the extreme left of the Democrat party. He has a 100% rating with NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League). He also voted for the Stimulus bill. He has a D+ rating from the NRA. He is an extremist.
He also got an F rating from National Taxpayers Union (link).
Note: Only 16 Democrats D’s. The rest got F’s. On the Republican side there is 1-F, 3-D’s, 48 C’s, 96 B’s and 44 A’s.
Since we (well…me) are on partisanship, I looked at ACLU ratings by party and put them in a nice little graph (below). You can see the Dems are skewed more to the left then the Republicans are to the right.

And the Democrats were going to end partisan politics? It seems to me that the Democrats are a party of taxing extremists while the Republicans are the big tent party.
