“The national journal meanwhile has him as one of the bottom 15 least conservative Republicans (between Pete King and E. Ros-Lech), along with fellow Paulbot Paul Massie of Kentucky.”
Well this isn’t true. Amash is nowhere near Peter King. Judging on the same votes, here’s a comparison.
Amash - 95%(Average) - 89%(Heritage) - 99%(CFG) - 92%(ACU) - 100%(FreedomWorks)
King - 40%(Average) - 38%(Heritage) - 40%(CFG) - 36%(ACU) - 45%(FreedomWorks)
Massie - 89%(Average) - 78%(Heritage) - 93%(CFG) - 88%(ACU) - 95%(FreedomWorks)
I’m curious. What’s your beef with Amash?
...or Massie for that matter.
Who writes that crud for the National Journal anyhow?
Whether you agree with the ranking or not it IS true that that’s where the National Journal ranks him, 14th least conservative R, Massie even worse, 10th.

My beef with him is that he is a “Libertarian” Paulbot who loves Iran and casts many liberal votes, he’s not a conservative Republican.
The Ron Paul cult is a cancer on the Republican party, and it’s members are not “true conservatives” no matter what anyone is fooled into believing. Damn everyone who carries water for them.

Nice research Cotton. I think his “beef” with Amash is simply that Amash is on the GOPe’s “hit list” of conservative incumbents-— you know, marching orders from the high command.
