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.

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?

Thanks for asking for that, I was just remembering it but didn’t know where to find it.

No problem!

McConnell (KY) - 05/20/14 - 81% (Average) - 79% (Heritage) - 74% (CFG) - 100% (ACU) - 71% (FreedomWorks)

McConnell (KY) - 05/20/14 - 75% (Average) - 79% (Heritage) - 74% (CFG) - 71% (FreedomWorks)

Note the difference in the average. Dropped six points when you leave out the ACU, whose rating of McConnell at 100% is laughable. The ACU also has the “lifetime rating” trick which politicians enthusiastically glom on to. They can have their conservative votes from 20 years ago give them cover for this year.

McConnell is not the conservative he claims. And even this average is misleading, for he carefully votes conservative to fool his constituents, while he undermines conservatives behind the scenes. But it’s as objective a rating as we can get, based on his votes, and 75% is piss poor!
