According to the American Conservative Union, the following 22 senators compiled the most conservative voting records in 2011. These scores are based on 20 separate votes that were taken by the U.S. Senate in 2011. A score of 100.00 indicates that the senator voted in favor of the conservative position in each of these 20 votes (in a few instances, the senator did not cast a vote).

I don’t know what THEIR criteria is specifically, but they have an enormous blind sport when it comes to the invasion from the South. Rubio is an illegal-supporting racist.
Deduct 35 “conservative” points
Utah Republican Orrin Hatch -
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Orrin Hatch is on the list? Wow! if he is considered conservation our nation is in deep trouble.
Hatch has a moderate record, but after seeing what happened to Bob Bennett a few years ago, Hatch has tacked far to the right.
Also, my favorite blind sport is skeet shooting while ski-jumping. It's dangerous to watch, but a real hoot.

You are correct. The ACU is a RINO outfit when it comes to immigration. They are bought and paid for by the Chamber of Commerce.
I didn’t know there were 22........or 12..........or 2............
The ACU decides what 20 votes will be analyzed. Therein lies the bias and ability to control who gets what marks.
Boozman has come out in favor of S. 1832, the so-called Marketplace Fairness Act, which will impose sales taxes on Internet transactions, so take him out of the conservative pantheon.
Those in love with Rubio will soon find out that he will support amnesty.

Do you think they show bias towards certain types of politicians? Are they legit?
They gave Demint a 100 and I like the heck out of him.
Boehner and Cantor are blocking all immigration legislation from coming to the floor. For example, Lamar Smith would like to get a vote on E-verify legislation but Boehner and Cantor will not allow it.
Nothing wrong with him tacking far to the right as long as conservatives hold his feet to the fire. He is at leaqsat voting the way his electorate wants him to
You’ve got that right. That list is full of 100 score amnesty lovers and other RINOs. Cornyn, Rubio, Hatch, Kyl to mention a few.
Booby Hatch has already started that mess again? He did not even wait to get re-elected.
What? No Grahamnesty or McCain?
