I don’t agree with everything he does but he has a 96% rating with the American Conservative Union and that’s way better than most.

Yeah, "conservative". He wants to "conserve" the status quo.

Hey Cotton,

Can you provide the true conservative rating for McConnell, you know the one that leaves out the Fake ACU rating and averages the more trustworthy Conservative Ratings agencies?

Leaving out the separate debate about the validity of the ACU rating, he's the one driving the ship in terms of what the party does..or doesn't do in the Senate. If there is no conservative legislation, there is no voting record to fit in to the rating calculations. He's sided with Reid and Obama at least as many times as conservatives int he past 16 months. That doesn't show up much of the time in vote tracking. The die is cast, so to speak, before many of the votes take place.
