I have a lot of doubts about these scoring methods on who is conservative and who is not.
Conservatism is Drain the Swamp and Build the Wall. It is most decidedly NOT vote for some insignificant bill with some insignificant tax cut or spending cut that never became law and would have changed the deficit from $1.8Trillion to still $1.8Trillion because the cuts offset.
These people with political careers are filth. They are the Swamp. It’s unfortunate that the best they can do in this case is a sitting Congressman, who is also Swamp.
There are two types of rating sites. Both are good because they are based on a politician’s actual voting record.
There are sites that are abbreviated and focus on key issues like the debt, border security, 2A, etc.
1. Conservative Review’s Liberty Score: https://libertyscore.conservativereview.com
Other sites are more comprehensive and offer a lifetime voting score.
1. The New American Freedom Index: https://thenewamerican.com
2. CPAC’s Center for Legislative Accountability: http://ratings.conservative.org
3. Heritage Action: https://heritageaction.com
I prefer the abbreviated sites because they focus on key issues that I care about. Any politician can have an overall good score and be weak on the most important issues (John McCain for example).
Here are the scores for Jim Banks (R-IN):
