My problem with the 96% ACU rating of Santorum, etc., is that things that are important to ME, e.g., Specter, aren't included in that number. I wonder what that remaining 4% represents. Big things or little things? Sure, one can pile up a big rating by voting "conservative" on whether, say, we should give an additional $ 10,000 to Rwanda. But on the important issues that can be won--not the Marriage Amendment or other red meat, bread and circuses (forgive the mixed metaphor)--what is the record?
I admit that I may react stronger than my thoughts or feelings, but that's the nature of this board.
You act stronger then your feelings on here? You love it! Keeps the place lively! :)
