Scorecard of the Senate

Submitted by LoganFerree on Sun, 2006-03-12 21:02.

The Freedom Democrats Scorecard of the Senate is finally finished. I have posted a detail description of the economic issues and the social issues but I will refrain from putting them on the front page. The information for the scorecard is available in an excel file so it can be sorted by Senator's name, state, or score. Of course what circulated the most on the Internet last time was the Nolan Chart with the Senators on it. Drum roll . . .

The major trend is the same as last time. A major divide between the parties on the social issues and a general parity in terms of just how bad they are economically. Russ Feingold is again classified as 'libertarian' and Ron Wyden of Oregon narrowly makes the cut as well. Interestingly Jim Jeffords of Vermont, the only Independent, receives the same exact score in both social and economic issues as Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the only Independent of the House. Go figure.

I invite everyone to use these Scorecards as resources. My only request is that the Freedom Democrats website and myself are given credit as the original source.
