The "Liberty Score" is a voting scorecard created by Conservative Review, a media entity founded in 2014 and currently edited by Mark Levin, which rates members of Congress based on their voting records regarding conservative principles. It is not a score for Mark Levin, but a tool from his media organization.


quote:

Conservative Review was founded in 2014 by a group of conservative political operatives (not Levin personally).

Mark Levin was announced as editor-in-chief in September 2015. The site and its Liberty Score tool became strongly associated with him through his commentary, radio show, and promotion, leading many to refer to it informally as “Mark Levin’s Liberty Score” or “Mark Levin’s Conservative Review.”

It is now under Blaze Media (after a merger involving CRTV, which Levin was involved with)


So the “conservative” standard is set by Mark Levin? Oof.

Just surprised the people who hate Mark the most are the ones who are always the ones to point at his conservative scores.

Yep just like Miriam is bad when donating to Trump but when giving money to Ron it’s okay.

According to your quotes Levin did not create the scoring so therefore did not set “the standard”.

I’m curious to what you are speaking about when you say silly stuff like people always refer to the Liberty score.


You should know this obviously but most of the time people refer to Heritage scores/ratings here. Very rarely is it Liberty.

Weird.

We get it man, you support a guy who didn’t censure ilhan omar and his only legislative accomplishments is a co sponsored bill with a democrat. Everyone knows where you stand, you have it in your bio, Massie over Trump.

I've never taken any of those stupid "scores" with anything but the tiniest grain of salt. One can pretty much manipulate them to say anything anyone might want.

Fair criticism

Says more about his colleagues

What bill has Massie failed to get passed or out of committee do you disagree with?

His latest push with banning ai to monitor drivers and enact kill switches failed

He voted against FISA extensions when many Reps did

His 50 State constitutional carry bill failed because not enough Reps voted with him

He did get glysophate and pesticide removed from the farm bill and made it possible for more locally supplied meat


95% of this board would love to have his bills passed. The shitbags that control Congress make sure the best ones never see the light of day.

The problem is that it is subjective. They will pick only a handful of bills to base their score on. So, the score is a ranking of what their editors value, not what I value. I read the list the list they last published, and some of them just weren't important to me. They also left off votes that were important to me.

I don't remember the specific votes they chose to rate. I just remember I was not highly impressed with it, and it's not worth my time to argue online about it in detail.

Then there are the issues that conservatives can't even agree on. There are many conservatives who are against spending that other conservatives understand is necessary.

Some conservatives are fine with cracking down on pedos even if it means a slight loss of liberty. Others are ok with the enhanced risk to children because they are absolutists.

Then you have conservatives who think the constitution is a suicide pact, while others think a safe and prosperous country is more important than letting terrorist sympathizers flourish in the name of liberty.

Why should I leave those issues up to some editors to decide for me? Because that is what people who tout these scores expect us to do. They use these subjective scores as an absolute measuring stick and to bash other conservatives who don't fully agree with them.

They are basically asking conservatives to stop analyzing issues for themselves and to just rely on the impressions given to them by people who most likely have never lived in the real world and are insulated from the effects of most policies.

The problem is people blindly relying on these scores, and then using them to attack fellow conservatives who prefer to make their own assessments.

The score will be heavily weighted to how much each politician votes to give to Israel.
