I was taking a poll on votematch to see who I agreed with most. I found out a few things, first that John Kerry is the senator I agree with the second most often (jon corzine is the first). I also found out that Larry Craig came in 3 from last. But what I find funny, even if it is childish, is that on my list of "Your 10 worst matches of the 100 Senate incumbents" I found a republican named Michael Crapo. I've never heard of the guy, but it seems that his name fits his voting record:
In 2006, Crapo was given the lowest possible score (0%) by the League of Conservation Voters for his voting record in the Senate. This followed his score of 5% in 2005 to bring his lifetime score down to 4%. Reasons for the low score include his votes for offshore drilling, for arctic refuge drilling, against funding to help "low-income families insulate and weatherize their homes", against funding for the environment and natural resources, against independent review of Army Corps of Engineers projects, and for having the Army Corps of Engineers review themselves.

Now do people actually call him Mr. Crapo?

That group sounds like another Green Peace. Why would he worry about pleasing those idiots?

Because they vote.
So? I guess their vote counts more than that of Mr. Crapo's own constituents? My guess is that he disregards their criticism and only worries about the criticism of the voters who placed him into office. What's your guess?
