It is far and away more accurate than the much discredited American Conservative Union "Conservative Rating" listing which ends up measuring party loyalty (voting with the GOP House or Senate leadership) rather than votes that tend to show adherence to conservative principles.

Proof of discredit please? Citations of measuring the Leadership votes rather than conservative principles please?

Don't forget the linky poo to back up your false claims.

Who are you--some ACU lackey chick? I had the mistaken impression that you were actually a conservative in my last online encounter with you, which was much more agreeable. Anyway, any Conservative Rating that places Bob Dole in the 90-100% conservative range and has a mushy moderate like John Sununu in the 95% range is thoroughly discredited as a matter of course. I mean have you ever read the ACU conservative ratings and how they are arrived at? There is basically no methodology involved. It is fairly subjective. I have already provided you with sufficient examples above if you would read my posts. They rate a vote for Clinton's massively liberal budgets as conservative merely because the GOP congressional leadership supported them. I will say that the ACU has done a good job in opposing amnesty and campaign finance reform.
