Last I checked, McConnell had a lifetime ACU rating of 96%.

You never can trust the ACU rating anymore.

It's been gamed for some time now.

However, if you take a look at the average of major conservative rating agencies, you get a much more honest look at the so-called "Conservative" McConnell:

McConnell (KY) - 2014 - 79% (Average) - 62% (CReview) 80% (Heritage) - 87% (CFG) - 92% (ACU) - 73% (FreedomWorks)

Hat-tip to Cotton1706 for the great job of aggregating these ratings on a regular basis.

Nonetheless he VASTLY preferable to his liberal Dem opponent.

Last I checked McConnell is....

pro-life
pro-Second Amendment
pro-traditional marriage
pro-coal
pro-oil
pro-nuclear
pro-drilling
pro-Keystone
pro-business
pro-defense

In addition, he voted against....

1) Obamacare
2) The Porkulus
3) Dodd-Frankenstein
4) Crap and Trade
5) Harry Reid
6) BHO’s SCOTUS appointments.

Is he perfect? Of course not. No one is. Ronald Reagan would be called a RINO by some people around here. There is no satisfying purists. Nothing in life is perfect, least of all politics. We have to work with what we have.

TBEL: “Last I checked, McConnell had a lifetime ACU rating of 96%.

You never can trust the ACU rating anymore. “

And what is the conservative rating of McConnell’s Dem opponent AND the Dems in the Senate?

THAT is the choice — as a “conservative” — do you want a Republican or a Dem controlled Senate? Do you want to keep Harry Reid as Majority Leader or not?

The reason I put “conservative” in quotes, is because anyone claiming to be a conservative, criticizing Republicans but wishing for a Dem win is hardly a genuine conservative.
