Conservative Review’s Liberty Score® grades members of Congress on the top 50 votes over a rolling six-year term. A letter grade is assigned to each member to help you quickly determine whether a lawmaker is supporting conservative principles. The Liberty Score® helps evaluate your representatives and senators, providing the tools necessary to separate rhetoric from reality. We don’t expect any elected officials to be perfect, but we do expect them to keep promises.

What’s his Paul RINO score?
“What’s his Paul RINO score?”
Probably near 100%
Austin Scott was one of the most liberal Republicans in the Georgia House before he went to Congress. No surprise with his score.
So basically he’d be Brian Kemp or Brad Raffensperger as Speaker.
4 kneepads and 7 Chapsticks
97% A+
Scott supports aid to Ukraine. Republicans in the House voted down Andy Bigg’s amendment to curtail it on September 27 by 117-104.
If Ukraine represents the biggest division in the caucus right now (I think it does,) no way does Jordan get past him.
Which isn’t to say Scott will get the nod. I think and I’ve said that the caucus is hopelessly deadlocked and my guess is that in a couple weeks a dozen or two centrists go hat in hand to Jeffries to come up with a powersharing arrangement.
These scores are important only to the fans in the cheap seats.
Like the Electoral College, Congressional leadership doesn’t necessarily represent the Will of the People.
By the way, if you want a clearer picture of any rep’s voting record, there’s a great site called votesmart.org.
Not the correct measurement.
Correct measurement is by what margin did they win in 2022.
If they won by a large margin and are not taking conservative stands, primary them. It doesn’t matter what Biden’s margin was in 2020. It only matters what their victory margin was in 2022.
Salazar for example in Florida won by a large margin and is making leftist noises. Primary her. It is a safe seat.
Does anyone have a list of the squishes who need some phone calls before the vote?
NOT NO BUT HELL NO, I am sick to death of these squishes, the Dems are in LOCK STEP on every damn thing!!
At this point I'd take Erwin Riedenschneider; he wouldn't be any more criminal or pedophilic than the last generation or so.
Salazar is my rep. It is NOT a safe seat. Look at its history over 20 years.
Brownie points for the Sam Jaffe reference.
Time will tell.
Sadly, Scott is a perfect representation of too many Georgia Republican’s both in DC and in the state legislature.
Congressman Scott graduated from the University of Georgia .... Doesn’t say if he was a UGA Frat Boy but it wouldn’t surprise me.
From an article written by a local network in S Ga...During his time in Georgia’s House of Representatives, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Scott was the first Republican to join Democrats to try and remove the Confederate battle emblem in Georgia’s flag.
There ya go. Siding with the Democrats to take down state flag back in the day.
Interestingly, his district is rural and has a large AF base. You’d think they’d be able to find someone a little more RED than he is, but most folks don’t pay any attention to who they’re voting for.
All Scott has to do is talk about low taxes, guns and the military and he’ll get votes. After that he doesn’t have to do anything for another 1.5 years.
That's why they need to be called. Let them know they're being watched and will be held accountable.
You don't agree?
There’s definitely a scent of RINO in the air with Scott.
