“Of course not. What a stupid vanity.”

I agree. It does not deserve the headline. Nor was any reason provided in the initial post.

I contribute dollars based upon the American Conservative Union's ratings of Congressional records. I give the full amount to anyone with a rating of 90 to 100, and less to anyone with a rating of 80 to 90.

As for voting, vote Republican. They are almost always massively better than the Democratic party alternative.

A “moderate” Republican may have an ACU record of 60. This compares to a Democrat's rating, in that district, of 20 or lower. So even a moderate Republican is much better than a Democrat. The gap between 60 and 20 is as great as between 100 and 60. Consider Norm Coleman vs. Al Franken in Minnesota. I'm not contributing to Coleman, but if I lived in MN, I would run to the booth and vote for Coleman over Franken. McConnell is better than Coleman, who is much better than Franken.

There are only a few liberal Republicans from liberal states. Their ACU ratings may go as low as 35. By the way Obamma's rating is around 10-15. Even liberal "RINO" Republicans vote better than their Democratic party competition. That vote can make the difference between winning or a losing on an important issue. In conservative districts, Democrats sometime fool voters by looking and sounding conservative, but on most of the big issues they will vote liberal. So don't be fooled.

I you are conservative, vote Republican. If you want to discriminate further, do so with your dollar contributions. Send a message with your dollars, not your vote.
