Looking through some of their ratings for Congressmen, it's absurd. They rated Ron Paul as opposing gun ownership because he votes No on absurd House bills.

I've long held the opinion that a politician should never be judged on any "No" votes they make. These bills are so full of riders and pork that they could be voting AGAINST any one portion of the bill. Conversely, if you vote "Yes" on a bill or introduce legislature you are giving your stamp of approval on EVERYTHING in that bill to become law. So that is a much better way of judging their record. As a side benefit if everybody started thinking that way then politicians might actually start voting NO more often to the crap laid in front of them.
