Votesmart.org is a good place to begin for unbiased voting records and what the vote was about. The behind the seems corporate stuff comes from diligent searches throughout the web though.

I like West on fiscal issues BTW, but his defense mindset is not right in line with mine. I don't mind strengthening our Defense, but don't want to increase our offense or spending - I think we can maintain the strongest military while not invading and attacking every chance we see, and can reduce the defense budget by just eliminating waste which would include unproductive occupations and bases in about every country on the planet (companies do it all the time, increase productivity, quality and profit while reducing operating expenses/waste).
