"Do they list the votes they think were important for vets, their position on the issue, and how the people they rank voted?" Here is a link to their issues. iava.org Of those that have come up for a vote, it is usually pretty much party line votes with a few crossovers. I dunno where Ted got that list or if it is valid. But if you had followed the votes on any of these issues, the result are believable.

If Democrats on the average got better ratings but the ratings where mixed up, with some Republicans ranking high and some Democrats low, than I would be more willing to believe it was non-partisan. But with every single Democrat on the list ahead of every single Republican (see imbeded picture in Ted's post Message 22939322 ), you have pretty good evidence that the determination is partisan. Absolute proof? No but fairly good evidence, and I haven't seen any evidence on the other side of the equasion. That is hardly good evidence. Its not surprising that the Dems and GOP vote in blocks and its common knowledge they rarely agree on issues and their votes diverge. That list appears to be more of the same. Of course my observation is as anecdotal as yours.
