Thanks for the reply and amen to all. The amalgamation list would be most interesting to say the least.
One thing else I might as well throw in is that it’s impossible really to rank a single individual at 100% “in the right”, since most of us here cannot agree on precisely what that would be.
Take an issue like the War on Drugs, which some FReepers disagree on. Those in favor of legalization would be ranked as A+ by the one side and F by the opposition (and vice-versa). Although that’s not as big an issue as immigration and gay marriage now. I would personally view a politician not voting in favor of strict controls on one (or at least vigorous enforcement of existing laws) on immigration and not diligently opposing the bizarre redefinition of marriage (which is a war against the very foundation of family and our religious institutions) as being anti-Conservative.
Same goes for those not voting against an out-of-control administration on spending. The recent budget, as an example, which gets an “F” from me, 7 out of the 9 members from my state of TN (2 Dems, 5 GOP) voted for the abomination and the other 2 Republicans (DesJarlais and Duncan) voted against, yet another reason I place DesJarlais as the most Conservative (he is loathed by the GOP establishment). Duncan tends to lean towards the Paleo position on issues, which has its own set of standards on Conservatism, which I don’t entirely agree with.
