He is not my Senator, so I really have no horse in the race and its a safe GOP seat anyway, BUT he had an 84 percent conservative rating. If thats not good enough, and Im not saying it is, then there are a lot more GOP Senators that need purging.

Four Points:

1. It depends on the organization providing the rating
2. Senators are famous for not voting on an issue if they think it will adversely affect their rating, see John McCain and his ACU rating and look at the votes he did not vote on. His rating would have dropped an additional 20 to 30 points if he had actually voted his stated position on some of the votes the ACU used to rate politicions in the Senate.
3. A lot of damage can be done in that 16% as can be seen by his votes for TARP, Amnesty, etc.
4. You are right, there are a lot more Senators that need purging.
