10. It is a totally non-partisan website, but it sometimes judges issues differerently than I would.
While OnTheIssues.org records the votes correctly, it sometimes incorrectly scores votes as progressive or conservative.

For example, is counts votes in favor of the Patriot Act as progressive and counts votes against the Patriot Act as socially conservative.

It makes the same mistake with votes for or against private school vouchers which de-fund our public school system (OnTheIssues.org mistakenly counts pro-voucher votes as socially progressive votes and counts pro-public school anti-voucher votes as conservative).
