So he took conservative positions 84% of the time but on the crucial votes, the BIG votes, he went left. He voted for those big things that serve to negate all the smaller things he voted on conservatively.His effective conservative rating would be considerably lower than his ACU number.

Here in CO, a local politician rated R’s in the assembly and state senate by how often they voted with D’s where (1) the vote was split on party lines and (2) the vote was very close. Shocking results. The state party landed on this poor guy and he disappeared from politics quickly.

Here's the thing Dana, the country is on the edge of the abyss. Senators Bennett and Hatch have been in office for decades. They were in office during the time we have come to this situation. They have proven themselves incapable of preventing the disaster. They seem unable to see the coming disaster. And they are not capable of changing the direction of the country.
What good are they?
Go JD, we have to have McCain out. Out of the Senate.
