I really don't think that progressive punch is a good indicator of 'good' and 'bad' senators. I mean ya, it great for judging who's left and right from a liberal's perspective.
However, in terms of where we are politically doesn't ONE vote for the patriot act, military commissions act, iraq authorization of force and/or funding make a senator 'unfit' for office?
If a congressman has showed just once that they will go along with this administrations destruction of the constitution and America in general (due to payoffs or fear), doesn't it show that they would be willing to do it again right when their country needs them the most?
In my opinion that's where we are at. Left/Right wing has almost become a non issue. It's more like who's supporting the military dictatorship and who isn't. That really narrows down the field if you ask me.
