>> You are referring to American Conservative Union’s scorecard which is a well-known joke. The Heritage Action is the gold standard for measuring conservatism in Congress and they rate McConnell at 75%. <<

So he "only" votes with us 3 out of 4 times. Better make he sure loses to a RAT who votes with us 0% of the time. That will teach the GOP a lesson!

>> Here’s how McConnell accomplishes his deceit as a political con artist when it comes to establishing his conservative credentials (and other GOP progressive senators do the same, in fact they follow McConnell in his art of deceit): http://www.redstate.com/2013/02/22/the-american-conservative-unions-embarrassing-scorecard/ <<

You are referring RedState.com's analysis of GOP politicians, which is a well-known joke. So how's that Liz Cheney endorsement been working out for them? Did Wyoming conservatives drink the kool-aid that gay marriage Lizzy was the "true conservative" in the race?

3 out of 4 times he votes with ‘us’?

You really don’t know how it works in Congress.

1. McConnell shuts conservatives down.

2. Then he hands over bills to the democrats that they can pass without interference from conservatives (voting for cloture; same as telling conservatives to shut up).

3. Then McConnell votes against the democrat bills because he knows they will pass with just the democrats votes.

4. Then he tells his constituent fools back in KY that he voted against the democrat bill (even though he made it possible for them to pass it).

5. And then his conservative rating goes up (artificially).

McConnell is a progressive socialist who has learned a few tricks on how to appear to be a conservative.

And of course he’s duped people like you.
