Oh absolutely, in fact I wrote in my post how I disagree very strongly with most of his political opinions and voting record. I think it's unacceptable for someone to deny climate change, be homophobic, or vote for the PATROIT act. I would of course not vote for him due to this.
On the other hand, I think that the vast majority of politicians from any party with any views in Congress are so ridiculously brain-dead that I could not vote for them either, even if they were a carbon copy of me on the issues.
There are only 100 US Senators, and they make the most important decisions in the US. If an important decision came down the line, I have no hesitation saying that the vast majority of senators with my viewpoints would make a ridiculously uneducated, stupid decision.
Given how sharply Issa diverges from me on pretty much all issues, it's very likely that his decision on any topic would be something I disagree with strongly. It might drive climate change in the wrong direction, it might discriminate (in my view) against certain people, and any related law may be something that I spend quite a bit of time and money fighting against (I say this as someone who is very politically active.) But I have no doubts it would be an intelligent, researched decision.
