The Top Liberals and Conservatives In Congress
Richard Cohen (not the Washington Post columnist) takes a look, at National Journal, at the voting ratings of the Senate and House when seen through the prism of ideology. Pete Starks is the most liberal House member for 2005, and Ted Kennedy (gasp!) for the Senate (John Kerry is slipping – he doesn’t even make the top three). For most conservative senator, it’s a three way tie between Jeff Sessions, Tom Corbun, and Wayne Allard; in the House, a five way tie at the top (see for yourself, and read the interesting commentary on the rise of the moderates, by following the link)…
Sorry, but this poll is bunk. Sam Brownback is only the 21st most conservative Senator in the Senate? And he is roughly as conservative on foreign policy as Chuck Hagel? Huh?!
