Words versus votes

No topic where votes and statements point in opposite directions (6 topics compared).

A difference is a prompt to look closer, not proof of anything. Votes come from a short list of tracked bills; statements come from speeches, press releases and bills they put their name on. See the evidence for each topic. On 3 more topics one side is neutral, so there is nothing to contrast.
