"Ratings on missed votes" wasn't what my post was about, and it wasn't from your posts at all. It was one possible example I came up with of how your more general idea could be implemented. I find it to be a relatively useless idea, but I didn't portray it as your idea, or say it was the only possible item on any report card for members of congress or other politicians. I even went ahead and asked you about what criteria you could use. "...Such as the number of scandals one is involved in, number of votes missed, constituent requests satisfied, etc..." Message 23009655 I could come up with a list of things that I think are important to such a congressional rating scale, but that would only result in arguments of why MY list of factors wouldn't work instead of a collaborative list of things that might work. The question is, is some sort of congressional rating system that Congress would impose upon itself be a useful thing? Rather than telling me the problems with implementing such a system, are there any ideas about whether such a system would be an improvement on the current way of electing congress people? Can we at least TRY to be constructive?
