I have no idea what sort of intangibles those 'interest groups' use to come up with their assessments of politicians, or how they may otherwise be influenced.
I do know what Rick's voting record says. That's not intangible, and it's what I'm judging the man on.
The man was in Congress for a sixteen years and has many more votes than the ones you have posted. You’re posting a cherry-picked “record” that omits his conservative votes and does not provide context for any of his apparently non-conservative votes.
