It's like those vote rating guides; so and so voted with the party 92% of the time, so they're a good Democrat. But, what matters is when they vote and on what. It's nothing to vote for or against something when the outcome is a foregone conclusion, the politician's true agenda is usually found within the individual votes. As one example, Hillary didn't even vote on the bankruptcy reform bill, but it was her life's mission to get it to the vote and it was a done deal before the first vote was cast. So technically it can't be hung on her, but does that really matter to the people she screwed over in order to pay off the credit card companies?
You get the
& R anyway...
