Rusche defends conservative ranking
House Minority Leader John Rusche says his campaign sent out political mailers boasting that a free-market think tank ranked him as one of the most conservative Democratic lawmakers in the state.
However, the mailers do not mention that the Idaho Freedom Foundation gave Rusche an F- this year.
“Is it misleading? It is what it is,” Rusche told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday. “The Idaho Freedom Foundation has pushed that I have an F- ranking. It just show that you can look at the same data and spin it a different way”/Kimberlee Kruesi, Associated Press. More here.
Question: Does an Idaho Freedom Foundation F-minus mean much? Or an A-plus for that matter?
