An alert reader points to the Club for Growth’s new Senate Re-Pork card, keeping tabs on how senators have been voting on amendments that would eliminate pork projects from the budget.
Only three senators received a perfect score of 100% (and were present for a majority of the votes): Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK), Jim DeMint (R-SC), and Richard Burr (R-NC).
Coburn and DeMint you would expect — but who knew that Burr was so solid? The Senate class of 2004 continues to impress. Sens. Thune and Vitter come in at 73 percent a piece. Martinez, at the bottom of the class, still rolls in with 60 percent.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), meanwhile, scored 53 percent.
