Congressmen with 70% or better RP rating. Who lost, who won?

[klamath]

You know what? I'll look 'em all up later, I wanna know.

Hey, thanks!

Jim Jordan of Ohio's 4th district (just south of mine, the 5th district) won easily. He has a RP rating of 75%. He's fiscally conservative but not very constitutional (except with guns).

According to http://www.ontheissues.org/OH/Jim_Jordan.htm
- Strongly Favors Absolute right to gun ownership
- Co-sponsored banning gun registration & trigger lock law in Washington DC
- Strongly Opposes More federal funding for health coverage
- Strongly Opposes Replace coal & oil with alternatives
- Opposes Make taxes more progressive
- Voted NO on $9.7B for Amtrak improvements and operation thru 2013
- Voted NO on additional $10.2B for federal education & HHS projects.
- Voted against the bailout both times
- Co-sponsored permanently banning state & local taxation of Internet access (who the hell would vote against that?)

but he's bad on Foreign Policy and "Homeland Security":
- Voted YES on retroactive immunity for telecoms' warrantless surveillance
- Voted NO on requiring FISA warrants for wiretaps in US, but not abroad
- Voted NO on Veto override: Congressional oversight of CIA interrogations
- Co-sponsored keeping sanctions against Syria until WMDs are dismantled (this one hurts )
- NO on redeploying US troops out of Iraq starting in 90 days
- NO on investigating Bush impeachment for lying about Iraq
- He's one of the 283 co-sponsors of H.Con.Res 362 (the one that basically recklessly threatens Iran)

He's new so he didn't vote on the PATRIOT Act but he'd definitely be for it

He's better than most, but far from Ron Paul. 74% is about accurate

Missed him. Yes unfortunately the interventionist side kills a lot of good ones. Seems like he is a party boy so maybe now since it is Obamas war he will vote against it.

Rohrabacher won (for all you anarcho-capitalists, this man used to be one of you)

Tancredo's retiring.

Rohrabacher is my Congressman. At least he voted against the bailout.

(then again, I'm sure his office also got tired of getting emails and calls from me every day for a couple weeks)

Rohrabacher used to be an anarcho-capitalist of the Rothbardian-variety. He got into Congress on Charles Koch's money.
