She’s 7, Mario is 11, Carlos is all the way up at #3

I noticed Mario’s ACU (they must have really changed their criteria in past several years) and “Liberty Score” (meh) were not so hot. ACU has him lower than her for the last 2 years, Liberty has scant difference between the 3. I wonder about these rankings, you gotta look at a bunch of them.

My overall impression is that Ros-L is the worst of them. She’s certainly the most prominent in her bad positions.

Interesting. Carlos is only behind Bob Dold of Illinois (a.k.a. Mark Kirk Jr.) and a New YAWK Republican who is typical of the old Rockefeller crowd that has been in NY GOP politics forever (in fact, I'd argue that today's NY RINOs aren't even as liberal as their predecessors in the 60s and 70s)

The reason why I'd rate Ros-Lehtinen the worst of the three from FL is because she's an outspoken RINO who delights in poking her finger into the eye of conservatives to get fawning praise from the mainstream media for being such a forward-thinking, enlightened Republican who has "grown in office" among all the mean ol' conservative neanderthals. She's sort of the FL version of Lisa Murkowski.

Worse, even though she's particularly combative in promoting her RINO agenda, she's unknown outside her home state and won't get the kind of backlash that say, Lindsey Graham would get if he defended leftist policies and bashed conservatives for opposing them.

Other RINOs that are under the radar are more behind-the-scenes douchebags, like Dold pretty much keeps a low profile, watches what position Mark Kirk takes, and then votes the same way.

I find it interesting that a lot of the RINOs in the top 5 voted against the Chris Smith bill that would have established a permanent, government-wide prohibition on federal taxpayer funding of abortion and health benefits plans that include coverage of abortion. That should be an easy vote for ANY representative who identifies as "pro-life" (isn't Carlos Curbelo supposedly "pro-life"?) Had Joseph Cao been re-elected, I think he would have established a Chris Smith type voting record (dependable pro-life Catholic but meh on most other stuff)

I wonder if the Cuban-American vote moving left in Florida is a direct cause of all three of their representatives doing likewise?
