This morning, the Washington Examiner published what they called a “Big Reveal”: “Republican Lawmakers More Liberal Than Constituents.” What bubbled up within me took me right back to my childhood:

“WELL, DUH!” I thought.

Calling this information, which is well-understood by most Constitutional Conservatives, a “big reveal”, made me laugh out loud. Since we could all use a good grin in these scary times, I just had to share. LOLOLOL, as they say. Did The Examiner really think we weren’t aware??

President Trump’s efforts since we finally got him back to 1600, tell us about their big reveal nearly every day.

The one thing in the article which I found interesting, was a scorecard published by The Institute for Legal Analysis, which grades our “representatives” by state/district on their votes by suport of limited government. The ILA’s District Based Grades, they say, are calculated by overlapping a lawmaker’s personal political ideology (their Limited Government Rating) with the political ideology of the district they represent.

These grades were for 2024. There are also scorecards available for 2022 and 2023.

Here are some of the more interesting grades.

It might surprise you, but Sen. Mike Lee, UT, was the only Critter who earned a perfect score. Biggs, AZ; Roy, TX; Crane, AZ; Rosendale, MT; Perry, PA; Good, VA; Brecheen, OK; Norman, SC; and Paul, KY, rounded out the top ten. All of these surprise me a bit, but I am not familiar with their districts, which may explain a lot.

The highest-scoring Critter in FL was Gregg Steube at #11, followed by Byron Donalds and Anna Paulina Luna, at #’s 23 and 24 respectively. Down at the bottom for Florida was Diaz-Balert at position #228, Salazar at #223, and Gimenez at #202.

Look up your Congress Critters, then contact them with your thoughts. DO they really represent you?

Try to be polite, although I understand how hard that can be, when we are communicating with those who are elected to represent us, but often, do not.

They literally hold our lives in their hands, the palms of which are so often crossed with dark money which does NOT work for our good.

Some, may surprise you; some, confirm your expectations. But, checking them all out is an interesting “over coffee” exercise to take your mind off of world war and all that might entail.
