These scores are important because the ACU doesn't always tell the whole story with their numbers; that is, they leave a lot to be desired in the votes that they are monitoring.
This is where you cross the line into dishonesty. If you keep your complaints on Iraq to your opinion of the merits of the matter you could be taken seriously.
TO THE SECRETARY OF WAR. (HENRY DEARBORN.)
MONTICELLO, August 28, 1807.
"...such presents as would show a friendly liberality should at the same time be made to those who unequivocally manifest intentions to remain friends; and as to those who indicate contrary intentions, the preparations made should immediately look towards them; and it will be a subject for consideration whether, on satisfactory evidence that any tribe means to strike us, we shall not anticipate by giving them the first blow."
And the reasons and method congress used to authorize the war is well-respected by our Founders:
An Act Further to Protect the Commerce of the United States July 9, 1798.
If you stick to stating your objections to the war as a practical matter- that is a subject worthy of debate.
But when you try to demonize it as unconservative, the history of our country and words of our founders show otherwise.
