I looked up the ratings of all of the US House and Senate members and did a mini-analysis on them;
I used ACU (American Conservative Union - conservative) ratings, and ADA (Americans for Democratic Action - liberal)
ACU ratings by party:
Percentage of Republicans with 100 percent ACU ratings in 2007 -- 26.40
Percentage of Republicans with 90 percent or more ACU in 2007 -- 56.29
Percentage of Democrats with 0 percent ACU ratings in 2007 -- 52.80
Percentage of Democrats with 10 percent or less ACU in 2007 - 81.82
ADA rating by party:
Percentage of Republicans with 0 percent ADA rating in 2007 -- 16.8
Percentage of Republicans with 10 percent or less ADA in 2007 - 50.0
Percentage of Democrats with 100 percent ADA rating in 2007- 19.7
Percentage of Democrats with 90 percent or more ADA in 2007 - 71.83
It is apparent from this data that Republicans are less partisan than Democrats, and not as conservative as Democrats are liberal.
The ACU ratings are available at http://www.acuratings.org/2007all.htm
ADA ratings are available at http://www.adaction.org/pages/publications/voting-records.php
Am a bit surprised by how liberals the Democrats are. Evidentally the the Blue dogs and a lot bluer than the old ones were.
It does confirm that liberals are a bunch of zeros.
They don’t care what happens to America or it’s people anymore.
Interesting analysis.
