ACU Ratings are out

[Keystone Phil]

also note Rick Santorum has a 96. How the hell is that not far right?

Not as conservative as Coburn, Inhofe, DeMint, Bunning...

[Keystone Phil]

so he's only one notch to the left of a bunch of far right wing nutcases. Wow, he sure isn't far right. I must be a moderate since I'm slightly to the right of Noam Chomsky.

He's not the far right winger people make him out to be.

[Keystone Phil]

on what issues is he moderate?

What don't you get? You can be conservative and not far right.

if he is not moderate on any issues, I am more moderate than Santorum, since I am moderate on a few issues.

Your support for communism and Santorum's conservativism would make you more extreme.

While he is not extreme as Bunning, Inhofe, Coburn, Demint it doesn't mean he still isn't extreme are to the far right.  It just means those guys are even more extreme

My point is that people make the guy out to be the most conservative member in the Senate. That is wrong. As for him being far right in general, I still disagree. By the way, did you see the new approval ratings for PA, Smash? Finally! New numbers to argue about! Look at the PA 2006 Senate thread for more info.

[Keystone Phil]

Hmmm. Now by BRTD's argument, Chuck Grassley would be considered a far rightist. Would anyone agree with that? I most certainly wouldn't.

He isn't the most conservative, but that doesn't mean he isn't far right wing.  Coburn, Bunning, Demint and Inhofe are further to the right but you could make a very valid argument that Santorum is the 5th most Conservative and without a doubt he is in the top 10

I don't base my decisions on what the National Journal does but they didn't include Santorum in the top 10 so to say he is "without a doubt" in the top 10 could be wrong.

Most Liberal Members of Congress:
 
3) Chaka Fattah (D-PA)

That evil PA 2.

[Keystone Phil]

I notice some members saying what their rating would be. Do they have an option on the site to show how someone would be rated? My guess is that I'd be between 88-92.

[Keystone Phil]

I get a 92

I disagree on the seat belt thing (#2) and (#22).

I think I'll get the same result (or around there) but how do you get the number rating? I have the votes. I just need how to grade myself.

[Keystone Phil]

Yep. I'd get a 92.
