Joe Sestak Is Not A Liberal

According to Joe Sestak. I guess all those votes for gun control, ObamaCare, Porkulus, Cap and Trade, opposition to the First Amendment, etc were cast by another Joe Sestak. That other Joe Sestak voted with the most wacked out liberal in the House of Representatives (Nancy Pelosi) 97% of the time.

Joe Sestak continued Monday to distance himself from Nancy Pelosi while at the same time tying his Republican opponent Pat Toomey to George W. Bush.

Sestak, speaking at the Pennsylvania Press Club, was asked whether he believes Speaker of the House Pelosi is a liberal or a pragmatist. Sestak describes himself as the latter.

He said he didn't know, but also said he never looks at her voting record.

"My office is forbidden to look at talking points that come out of the speaker's office," the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate said. "Look, I didn't agree with Nancy Pelosi when she endorsed Arlen Specter."

The subject is especially sensitive for Sestak, who recently lost a battle with Pennsylvania television stations to pull a commercial that says he "gives it 100 percent to Nancy Pelosi." Sestak argued that he hasn't voted with Pelosi every single time (it's about 97 percent ), but the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which paid for the ad, won the argument that on the big issues of the day — health care, energy, economic stimulus — Sestak has voted with Pelosi.
