Kanye-inspired hyperbole aside... found this great easy-to-use website (povertyscorecard.org) created by the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law. Has the voting records of every member of Congress on 18 House and 14 Senate bills/amendments. Each member is given an overall grade based on their votes.
I looked at it briefly. Interesting to note a few things:
1. Dems usually score much higher than Republicans. But not always....
2. A decent number of Republicans score higher than 50%. A few are higher than 60%. Only one is higher than 70% - Chris Smith of New Jersey.
3. Some billls/amendments draw overwhelming bi-partisan support, others bi-partisan opposition. Interesting to see where the cleavages are, and what that says about the poverty policy consensus.
