http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122441095In 2009 in the Senate, Democrats stuck together for an average party support score of 91 percent — the highest ever. The House Democrats' score was the same — 91 percent — just below the all-time high of 92 percent set in 2007 and 2008. Republican Party support was also high, though not record-breaking: 85 percent in the Senate and 87 percent in the House.
I presume this has only gotten worse, particularly for Republicans, since 2009.
The question is: do you think a US Congressmen who votes with his party more than 90% of the time properly represents his district/state? Rather than vote hypothetically about times when one party might be 100% right on every issue, vote purely based on the current environment.
I know you guys don't like yes or no polls, but too bad. If you think it is possible in the current climate, vote "yes."
