A 13% rating from the AFL-CIO makes him "pro-union"?

Oh my, you fell right into my trap, said the spider to the fly. The AFL CIO voting records are not just labor issues - its' a total liberal platform scorecard. So yes, Santorum has a 13% liberal score over all, which is about right, since the American Conservative Union has him at 88% over all. So they both agree, Rick is a B- conservative. NOW, the key is, Rick was a 20% AFL CIO liberal in 2006, his last year in the senate. He was getting more and more liberal the longer he stayed. And a 20% liberal rating is shameful, just shameful.

Simply not true.

The AFL-CIO scorecard, as disclosed on their website, consists of a list of votes on specific bills (looking over their scorecards about 15-25 per session) that they consider important for "the labor movement."

It is not a list of all bills voted.

Also, Santorum's ACU rating his last year in the Senate was 96, which is more akin to an A than a B-.
