Michelle Bachmann at 94

Rand Paul at 93

Ron Paul at 76

Jim DeMint (not running for wh) takes the nationwide top score.

My personal thoughts? Anybody above 80% is the conservative equivalent to Al Sharpton. And from that MSNBC gig, we all know how qualified he is.

The ratings idea is stupid. They only rank where congresspeople VOTE. They need to amend it, such as where Congresspeople vote ON PASSED LEGISLATION. Else it rewards obstructionism. The idea of getting things done is dying.
