Education - 100%
Family Planning - 95%
Economy - 100%

It's easy to pull random numbers out of the air.

Where are you getting these?

And do they reflect his whole career, or just cherry-picked years at random?

Wow, a snarky reader - and one who makes stuff up to try and prove a point, no less.

Still, you DO have a point, uh, "Jonathan." I'm editing the post to include a link to ProgressivePunch, the source of the ratings.

Got a link for the Adorable Puppies votes? I'm guessing that one got cancelled after Specter's former good buddy Dick Cheney ate them alive in front of his granchildren.
