1. WOW

How can this be? I've previously been told that Amy is a Republican yet her conservation rating is 100. WTF.

4. About these ratings and Amy

I don't see how Amy could be 100%. How about her work on "clean coal"? I think these ratings must be a bit funny.

6. The rankings are based on votes

if there haven't been any bills regarding "clean" coal that wouldn't be part of this.

2. Not surprising that Kline & Bachman are 0.

No news there.

3. Now wait a minute...

Doesn't Bachmann get any points for hiding behind bushes?!

5. Agreed on bushes

Bachmann's love of nature is certainly demonstrated by her love of bushes. LOL Oh, she should definitely get points for her groping of Bush and hiding behind bushes. LOL Who but someone who loves wild life would do such things?

7. Bachmann's love of Bushes is well known

Thanks, becxx & dflprincess...she's 100% on Bush/bush Support!
