If Sanfraud is at the top of any list, except the asshole. liar, etc. lists, then the list is meaningless.
TBG’s congresscritter, Jim Clyburn scored a 30.
A Cockroach Stomptheshitoutof List, what a novel idea
Koch Brothers-spawned group gives Ted Cruz and Mike Lee 100s. Also, scientists have discovered water is wet. More at 11.
I’m surpised as Hell!
…water is wet.
At the risk of sounding “Kiplingesque”, rumor has it that fire will burn us….
Too bad they don’t include individual freedom in the scales too–we’d probably see a lot more dismal results. It just doesn’t really make sense to me to preach economic freedom while telling everyone what they can and can’t do in the privacy of their own home.
Who would have ever anticipated that in the land of the free and the home of the brave, it would be considered a good thing for anyone to agree with anyone 100% of the time?
It indicates a lack of capacity for independent thought.
That’s why Rand Paul @ 98% rules. RULES!!!
*Poundz fist*
Freedomworks is not one of my favorites. They came late to the dance and ignored a lot of the history of some of the votes. Sanford, f’r’instance, got their higher rating because HE WASN’T THERE FOR THE EARLY, HARD VOTES. The Senators, in many cases, were voting on different measures with similar names. You just try living in that sewer on the Potomac and still maintaining a conscience. DC is where the good is slammed by the media and the bad is worshiped.
f’r’instance
Mad … MAD props for the use that word, Homie!!!
Yes, I admit it! I stole it from MAD….. & a tip of the Hatlo hat to yerself, sir!
Sanford just got extra points because his friend with benefits, Analista Internationale, is a megaphone for the liberty message on infoBae. She “truly believes in freedom.”
FreedomWorks Executive Vice PresidentAdam Brandon said he’d rather see the tea party “take over the GOP” than create a third party.
In an interview with the Akron Beacon Journal published Dec. 5, Brandon dismissed the idea of the tea party becoming a third party, saying “eventually, the main tea party will go away and slowly take over the GOP.”
Ronald Reagan used to say, “Somebody who agrees with me 80 percent of the time is a friend and ally, not a 20 percent traitor.”
But in today’s GOP, the best way to soak the base for scads of cash is to call your enemy a traitor, even if he’s a Republican.
FreedomWorks is on the record supporting the telecommunications industry’s position on network neutrality. Broadband Internet companies like Verizon and AT&T would like to create “tiers” or “lanes” on the information superhighway:
Their own content and services would be delivered using the fast lane; companies like Google and Amazon would be charged high fees to travel in the middle lane; and the rest of the web would be relegated to the slow lane.
That would be dangerous for innovators, small businesses and nonprofits – but beneficial to the telecom and media companies who want to be able to sell their own movies, music and television shows while slowing down their subscribers if they surf over to a competitor’s site. It would also radically change our experience of the Internet as our link to democratic discourse and our window onto the world of ideas, with no company blocking or making our access to any web site of our choice more difficult.
