Boehner, Cantor also log in Perfect 100s

From Eric Dondero:

The Club for Growth (pdf) is out with its new scorecard for the US House and Senate. On the Senate side, not surprisingly, Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn, once again are tops.

On the House side, two favorites of this website, California Congressman Tom McClintock and Arizona Cong. (and 2012 US Senate candidate) Jeff Flake scored perfect 100s.

The ratings were based on issues such as Repeal of Health Care reform act, Speech regulations, Home Renovation subsidies, New Food Regulations, Ending the Drilling Moratorium, Increase Debt Ceiling, Death Taxes and Global Warming.

Other prominent pefect 100 scorers included: Reps. John Boehner of Ohio, Eric Cantor of Virginia, Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Mike Pence of Indiana, Stephen King of Iowa, Jeb Hensarling of Texas, Lamar Smith of Texas, Paul Broun of Georgia, and Joel Chafetz of Utah. Very close to 100 at 97 or 98, include: Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia, Rep. Ted Poe of Texas, and Rep. David Dreier of California.

Rohrabacher dissapoints... Ron Paul only at 90?

Couple interesting observations:

Dissapointedly, Reps. Dana Rohrabacher and Ed Royce, usually rock solid reliable Free Marketeers, each posted a lowly 86.

Virtually the entire Massachusetts delegation, 9 Congressmen, received perfect Zeros. The Connecticut delegation is just as bad with all 4 scoring Zero, or very close to Zero.

Two high scoring Democrats were Rep. David Boren of Oklahoma with 60 and Rep. Walt Minnick of Idaho, who was defeated for reeleciton in 2010 with 56. All other Democrats scored well behlow 50.

One great dissapointment on the 'D' side: Mike Ross of southwestern Arkansas, who has the reputation as a reasonable moderate, scored a lowly 36.

Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware, scored a low 40, giving those who supported Christine O'Donnell's insurgent primary challenge a bit of a reprieve.

Stunner! Nancy Pelosi scored a Perfect Zero.

Iowa is interesting: The 2 Republicans are at 90 and 100, and the 3 Democrats are at Zero or close to Zero.

Denny Rehberg, now a candidate for US Senate in Montana, posted a respectable 86.

Peter King was virtually the only decent scorer in the entire New York delegation with 89. All NY Dems, except Rep. Acuri, posted Zero or very close to Zero.

And a Texas-sized shocker...

Congressman Pete Olson who represents Ron Paul's old 22nd district of Clear Lake/South Houston scored a 97 while Ron Paul himself, who now represents the 14th further south of Houston, scored a less-than-stellar 90.

Editor's note - I live close to the district line of Ron Paul and Pete Olson.
