When I want to get a hard number on how a politician is voting I go the Conservative Review and look them up to get their Liberty Score. For example, Abigail Spanberger gets an ‘F’ for her voting conservatively a dismal 7% of the time, or conversely voting 97% liberal. This does not bode well for her tenure as Governor if she is allowed to win and follow Gov. Northam’s example.
Bob Good had an extremely rare 100% Liberty Score as his conservative voting record according to Conservative Review. Admittedly, I was extremely proud of him and I feel that the King screaming, “Off with his head”, for a perceived act of medieval betrayal during a 21st Century Primary was short-sighted on the King’s part since his support was returned to the King after the challenger lost. I will be interested to see what Mr. McGuire gets over his tenure of representing my 5th if he wins.
