Andy Roth at Club for Growth did an interesting study. He looked at 162 Senate votes, and tabulated how frequently Senators voted with Harry Reid. Senators Coburn and DeMint came in at the top, voting the least frequently with the deranged Reid, at 28.4% and 29%, respectively.
Guess who came in at number three?
John McCain, who only voted with Harry Reid 32.4% of the time.
What’s most interesting about this is that some of the “real conservatives” whom pundits suggest McCain should choose for the VP slot have voted with Harry Reid significantly more frequently than McCain. Brownback, for example, voted with Reid 45.7% of the time, Sessions 43.2%, Cornyn 46.3%, and Thune, a solid conservative 50% of the time.
My suggestion for MDS sufferers is that they start looking at actual data instead of relying on their impressions, or what the pundits tell them. Deaf ears, I know, but I can try.
