[AllieB]

1. Is Vito Fossella running for re-election?

I thought he was brought down by scandal-an extramarital affair that was exposed.

[npincus]

13. thanks, AllieB

another Wikipedia boo-boo! While I was rooting around the internets for Fosella's replacement, I found this from June 22, 2008:


http://www.wnbc.com/news/16679611/detail.html

Frank Powers Sr., the Kings County and Richmond County GOP candidate for the 13th Congressional District and expected replacement of Rep. Vito Fossella, apparently died in his sleep Sunday morning, according to GOP Chairman Craig Eaton.

Powers was 67, reported The Staten Island Advance.


Powers, an MTA board member, was unanimously endorsed by the GOP less than a month ago to run for Fossella's job. Fossella said he would resign after a drunken driving arrest led to his public announcement that he had a child out of wedlock.

[loveable liberal]

2. Norm Coleperson!!!!

[marmar]

3. Cornyn in the Senate.....and HOW could you leave Michele Bachmann off the House list?

That looney toon has to go!

[npincus]

5. thanks- accepting all errors and omissions- got the list from Wikipedia

so errors are possible!

[npincus]

4. Saxby Chambliss/ Duncan Hunter

This was hard... I'll do my happy-dance if Dole, McConnell, Coleman, Cornryn go down... but Chambliss must suffer eternal damnation for comparing Max Cleland to OBL in his campaign.

[unapatriciated]

48. there will be two new votes against chambliss-this year in GA.

mine and lame54's. We are new to Georgia and are working to turn this red state blue.

[leftynyc]

57. Exactly my reason for wanting

Chambliss to go down. I don't even want to be in the same time zone when his karma catches up for what he did to Max Cleland.

[SparkyMac]

141. Chambliss ? I'll second that motion n-t

[Eyes_wide_ open]

6. Lindsey Graham n/t

[elizm]

153. Me too. But sadly...it ain't gonna happen. :( nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Oh, man - that is going to take some time to decide.

So many reasons to dislike so may (R)'s.................

[Canuckistanian]

8. Inhofe and Tancredo

Two of the most dangerously deluded politicians.

[Rowdyboy]

9. Roger Wicker.... appointed by Haley Barbour to replace Trent Lott

If we can replace this worthless trash with Democratic nominee and former governor Ronnie Musgrove I'll be thrilled.

[Kolesar]

10. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma is a religious fanatic planet destroyer

Coal whores like Conrad Burns took a hit in 2006. Inhofe would be quite a challenge to displace. Let's hope we get him in a scandal or he breaks his neck.

[EFerrari]

40. Inhofe and his twin, Duncan Hunter.

That would be a good year. :)

[Ganja Ninja]

11. Nancy Pelosi n/t

[stimbox]

125. LOL

:rofl:

[Hoof Hearted]

148. Oh damn. That was my line.

[fight4my3sons]

12. Susan Collins!

[Captain Hilts]

21. She's not too bright, is she?

I wish Snowe would cross over and drag Susan with her.

[fight4my3sons]

52. The sound of her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me...

I wish she would just go away. Please let Tom Allen win!

[high density]

60. same here

I'm so tired of listening to her. The news media in Maine is infatuated with her.

[charlyvi]

14. Jeff Sessions.

He's the Mozart of ignorance. And evil. After Katrina, he sent someone down to the Gulf area, not to survey the damage done or aid in the recovery, mind you, but to find a wealthy person who had been killed. He wanted to use it as a talking point in the estate tax debate. Sick, huh?



"...On Sept. 9, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions called his old law professor Harold Apolinsky, co-author of Sessions' legislation repealing the federal estate tax, which was encountering sudden resistance on the Hill. Sessions had an idea to revitalize their cause, which he left on Apolinsky's voice mail: ' Jon Kyl and I were talking about the estate tax. If we knew anybody that owned a business that lost life in the storm, that would be something we could push back with.' "

http://usliberals.about.com/b/2005/09/19/senators-hunt-for-wealthy-katrina-corpse-to-support-estate-tax-repeal.htm

[NC_Nurse]

15. I'm sorry, I can't pick just one. Let's throw the ALL out!

I can dream, can't I? :D

[DUgosh]

16. Cornyn

:hi: byebye

[Wwagsthedog]

38. Second the motion

All in for Noriega

[harun]

17. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky

[newmajority]

63. Yep, it's time for ol' Bug Eyes to go.

Piece of shit that he is.

[tishaLA]

94. that's my choice

he's a better choice than lots of the others because he has actual power in the Senate--something people like Sessions don't.

Besides, I just hate his chinless, beady-eyed mug.

[harun]

108. In watching the Senate on CSPAN nearly every time he takes

the mic I can barely keep my composure. The lying, the deceit, the BS spin on everything it is abhorrent.

He was the first one I know of who brought up this drilling our way out of high oil prices. At the time no one else was talking about it. He brought it up in a debate in the Senate. I thought that is the most outrageous thing I have heard come out of his mouth. Yet the media and talk radio somehow still spin it as a good idea that is only not happening because of the Democrats. Crazy!

[Enrique]

118. i'm with you

it could happen too. :-)

[indepat]

18. Mitch McConnell is the 'puke senator I would most like to see defeated 'cause I consider him

to be evil synthesized and incarnate. I'll name a Dem, rather than a 'puke, Congresscritter: Pelosi, for her seeming betrayal of the Constitution and the electorate. :D

[SoFlaJet]

124. McConnell as payback for Daschle

Coleman too so Al Franken can get his seat...as for reps I'd have to go to the Diaz-Balart brothers and Ross-Lehiten (spelling prolly wrong but who cares-you know who I mean)

[racaulk]

19. Liddy Dole

:puke:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

77. Like fingernails on a chalkboard every time I see or hear this person

I hope that Kay Hagan can take her down, but it won't be easy.

[tekisui]

106. She's gotta go.

Hagan for Senate '08!!!

[Captain Hilts]

20. McConnel of Kentucky for political and symbolic reasons. nt

[Clark2008]

22. Lamar...

Because I'm a Tennessean.

[SoxFan]

23. McConnell

Sleaze incarnate. He represents everything that's wrong with politics.

[bigwillq]

24. McConnell

I can't stand him.

[demnan]

25. Tom Davis

Because he's my congressman and I'd love to see the sleezy son of a bitch go. Problem is, the Democrat running against him is almost as sleezy.

[AllentownJake]

26. Charlie Dent

PA 15th...doesn't look likely though

[CanonRay]

27. Doug Lamborn CO-5 and Jim Imhoff from OK

Lamborn is not only incredibly right wing, he's downright stupid. Even the rethugs don't like him.

[blogslut]

28. Box Turtle John, baby!

Go Noriega!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. I would be in Heaven if these GOPers got their asses kicked!

Ted Stevens of Alaska
Saxby Chambliss of Georgia
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
Norm Coleman of Minnesota
Thad Cochran of Mississippi
Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina
Gordon Smith of Oregon
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina

[FSogol]

30. Tom Davis - R-VA isn't running for re-election

so that's one fewer dumbass on your list. ;-)

[npincus]

31. thank you- list has been edited accordingly

and your description "dumbass" duly noted! :)

[leveymg]

32. Joe Lieberman.

[npincus]

35. Pucker up, Chimp...

but no tongue this time!

[WillyT]

146. I'll Second THAT !!!

:mad:

[ruggerson]

33. Inhofe, Inhofe and Inhofe

and did I mention Inhofe?

[truebrit71]

42. Seconded....

...I think ALL of the House repukes need to be thrown out...

[Egnever]

56. couldnt agree more

if theres anyone in the senate that needs to back to his cave its Inhofe.

[lojasmo]

34. Both from Minnesota

Senate= Norm Coleman
House= Michelle Bachman

[trof]

36. Jeff Sessions, but it ain't gonna happen.

He: $4.3 mill in campaign chest.
Opponent: $12,000 & change.

[paulk]

37. marylin musgrave

Colorado district 4

we have a much better chance there than in Tancredo's old district....

[mtnester]

39. Elizabeth Dole, NC

because of this:

"Elizabeth Dole Tries to Rename the AIDS Bill After Jesse Helms "

July 16, 2008 5:09 PM

Oh my. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-NC, has officially requested that the ”Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008" be also named after the late Sen. Jesse Helms, R-NC.

"That is bizarre," Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., told me this afternoon when I told him this news. "That is absolutely bizarre. The Lantos-Hyde-Helms… the idea that anyone would want to do that is ludicrous...I would try to think of something that would be less appropriate, but even with my disregard for convention it would be hard to do that."

In the July 14, 2008 Congressional Record:

SA 5074. Mrs. DOLE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by her to the bill S. 2731, to authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 to provide assistance to foreign countries to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: On page 1, line 5, strike ‘‘and Henry J. Hyde’’ and insert ‘‘, Henry J. Hyde, and Jesse Helms’’.

(snip)

Sen. Dole's press secretary did not return repeated calls for comment."

And because I live in Ohio - Deborah Pryce

[mwb970]

103. Um, Pryce isn't running this year. It's Kilroy vs. Stivers.

My "off the island" vote goes to the emetic Michelle Bachmann.

[mtnester]

127. Sorry, going by the list provided by the OP

:shrug: :pals:

[mwb970]

135. It's hard to keep all the Representatives straight.

I only know about Pryce because she happens to be my Congress-critter!

[mtnester]

147. Mine is HOBSON

who is having his own little ethics scandal right now..sheesh

[olkaz]

41. Norm Coleman, without question

Franken would be an awesome attack dog for progressives.

Coleman is a stooge.

[Hepburn]

43. Hmmmmmmmmm....

...so many POS to choose from...:shrug:

OK...Lizzie Dole and Duncan Hunter.

[watercolors]

44. Dave Weldon and Feeney of Fla.

I think Weldon is retiring, and Feeney has a good opponent, so we may be in luck.

[SwampG8r]

80. weldon is retiring

his daughter got caught holding large amounts of pharmaceuticals without a scrip
he got her off
we all(in his home district)know he did it
he knew this blatant hypocrisy after being "drop the druggies in jail" for so long was going to unseat him
so he did the right thing for the first time in his turdish life and didn't run
these may not be common knowledge but i watch him close and heard from "un named sources"(a deputy sheriff) what happened

[spinbaby]

45. I think I'd like to see Coleman and Bachman go

That would make me very happy.

[LynneSin]

46. Where is Jim Gerlach from PA-6

I want that asswipe gone!!!

[unapatriciated]

47. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia

I voted in Tuesday primaries (D) and will be voting against this guy in November.
It's hard in GA to find info on Dem canidates...hell I wouldn't even have known about the election on July 15th if the Obama campaign had not e-mailed me.

[Hutzpa]

49. I want all those Mothafuckas gone

:evilgrin:

[snowbear]

84. Me too..

Too hard to pick just one.

They need to all be shown the door.

[momster]

50. The Worst of the Worst

All of them are bad in different ways...some are bad for their district, some for the country...but Inhofe is bad for the planet as a whole. Just kicking him out would sweeten the air on the Hill by 30%.

[Bluenorthwest]

51. Gordon Smith

And then the rest of them, all of them.

[a kennedy]

53. I'm hoping for both my Minnesota bums......

Norm Coleman and Michelle Bachman :puke:

[imax2268]

54. Arizona...

Sen John Kyl...

[Alexander]

90. You'll have to wait another 4 years for that one.

[Egnever]

55. Jim Inhofe by a mile

I hate that fuckin neanderthal

[agentS]

58. Ted fricken Stevens

The man behind the "internet is a series of tubes" gaff is also one of the most corrupt politicians of all time. If you thought James Traficant and William Jefferson were slimy, wait till you meet this guy.
He had his home raided by the FBI due to some kickbacks paid off in furniture and remodeling for his home, among other sins.
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/07/30/breaking-sen-stevens-home-raided/

He is best known among Hurricane Katrina survivors for being the guy who blocked the bill for relief funding so he could get drilling in the ANWR.
http://www.counterpunch.org/stclair12282005.html
"There'll be no Katrina money without ANWR drilling,"---Senator Ted Stevens.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/laurie-david/why-alaskas-sen-ted-s_b_9382.html
He also threatened to resign if he didn't get his 450 million dollars for the Bridges to Nowhere.

Say what you will about Robert Byrd and the KKK, but Ted Stevens, along with newly deceased senators Helms and Thurmond, are the ones who wear the robes in the Senate.

[Blue_In_AK]

71. I couldn't agree with you more.

He was my pick, as well.

[agentS]

105. i see why.

I feel sorry for you. You are actually out of Alaska. You actually have to deal with this prick on a daily basis.

[Alter Ego]

59. Inhofe, Cornyn, McConnell and Chambliss.

[npincus]

61. kicking for the night crew

[MichDem10]

62. Coleman

He's just an ass!

[monkeybiz]

64. Joe Liebermann!! n/t

[windbreeze]

65. that's no fair...

you got there before I did....LOL...besides him..Stevens of Alaska and Duncan Hunter..wb

[Blondiegrrl]

75. Same here. I know he's not officially GOP, but he might as well be.

He's a douchebag and a traitor to the Democratic Party. Buh-bye, Joe. Don't let the screen door hit you where the good lord split you.

[Road Scholar]

98. He's worse. nt

[Minimus]

66. DOLE!

[Nipper1959]

67. Sensenbrenner

I would love to have that colossal ass hat lose. Then we could turn his lights out as he did to the Dems trying to hold hearings.

[Sparkly]

68. Hard to pick among the Senators.... I guess Inhofe there, followed by Sessions, Graham, McConnell...

Not sure about the House.

[Tutonic]

69. Cornyn of Texas--another fake cowboy. And Liddy Dole--because

she is one DUMB REPUB. And please give money to Rick Noriega--who is polling pretty good against Cornyn.

[tishaLA]

95. I think we owe a debt to Liddy to be truthful

After all, she was the head of the republicon senate committee in 06. Her embarrassingly bad stewardship probably gained us a couple seats we wouldn't have won otherwise. Sen Ensign seems to be following in her great tradition, too.

[Blue_In_AK]

70. Ted Stevens and Don Young, without a doubt. n/t

[PADemD]

72. You missed Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District: Charles Dent

Ted Stevens & Charles Dent

[totodeinhere]

73. Ted Stevens

[JI7]

74. Coleman needs to get out of Wellstone's seat

i hate that whore. i want him gone.

[rasputin1952]

76. All of them, but Chambliss is one of the most repugnant...

what they did to Max Cleland is unforgivable.

Loathsome bastard...:grr:

[terrya]

101. I agree with you

What happened to a good, patriotic man and American like Max Cleland was a fucking disgrace. Max Cleland served his country well and honorably. Saxby Chambliss is a piece of shit.

[Blondiegrrl]

78. I'm still hungover from my celebration of Rick Santorum's ass whipping in '04.

:toast:

[grantcart]

79. Coleman and Bilbrae (CA 50)

[MonkeyFunk]

81. I gotta vote for Norm Coleman

[Doremus]

82. Just take the 2 with the highest net worth and scratch them off the list.

Rinse and repeat.

Thanks! :)

[quakerboy]

83. SMITH

bu-by. There is no reason on gods green earth that the State of Oregon should have a righty washy nutball like him to represent us.

Tancredo is good to see go, as well.

[depakid]

88. Agreed- BUT

Smith is thus far running a much better campaign than Merkley- and has some new and effective attack ads out there, while Merkley's ads are mush.

Hope we're not seeing deja vu with the last two sorry, milquetoast candidates who meekly took Smith on.

[quakerboy]

117. I haven't seen any Merkley add's lately

Only the new Smith ones. And they reek of desperation.

I will say, the polls I have seen are slowly swinging the right way. Right after the primary, when I actually met mr. Merkley, It wasn't looking so hot to me, and I really didn't have a lot of hope, and now I do. I hope I am not disappointed.

[Arugula Latte]

128. Yep. My thoughts exactly. We shouldn't have to put up with that asshat.

Also, I frickin' HATE Peter King R-NY ... :grr:

[quakerboy]

131. Not familiar.

What are his sins? I generally keep up on most of the senators, but there are just too many Congressmen to follow anyone but my favorites.

[Arugula Latte]

132. He was the guy who said about the 2004 election (in the summer of 2003)

"It's all over but the counting, and we'll take care of the counting." (At a White House BBQ.)

Clip here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7dV67u370Pg

He is one of the biggest Bush suck-ups around. He's horrible on privacy, FISA, and Iraq. Plus, he's a major league A-hole. I recall a DUer, who was a constituent, printed a response he'd received from King when the DUer had sent King an anti-war e-mail. It was just a nasty, nasty remark -- unbelievable, coming from a congressperson.

From Wikipedia:

King has been criticized for his staunch support to allow the government to eavesdrop on American citizens without court-authorized wiretaps, for his support for the Iraq war, and his claims that "Iraq is 95% safe." In February 2006, King said that things were blooming in Baghdad and that being in Baghdad was like "being in Manhattan."<1>

In late August 2006, King endorsed racial profiling as a law enforcement tool. He proposed that people of "Middle Eastern and South Asian" descent go through additional security checks due to their ethnicity and religion, saying that all Muslims aren't terrorists but that all recent terrorists are Muslim (Newsday 8/17/2006).

In 2006, he came under attack by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) because he advocated profiling at U.S. airports.

[otohara]

85. All Included In Your List

especially the senators.

[ncliberal]

86. Dole! nt

[mvd]

87. The Representative from my district, Jim Gerlach

And Joe Pitts (PA-16), who is one of the most conservative Reps.

[Awsi Dooger]

89. Senate - Norm Coleman; House - Jon Porter

Coleman for obvious reasons, namely that 99% wisecrack.

Porter because he's my district and he's the definition of a jackass. Every cycle he relies on contorting his opponent through disgracefully misleading commercials, ones that are ridiculed in the local media. This time he's up against someone very well known in Dina Titus. That's a plus and a minus but it would be incredibly sweet for Dina to dump him.

BTW, the Titus/Porter race is NV-3. It should be included on any list like that. It absolutely will be among the top 10 most scrutinized races in the country.

[Alexander]

91. Norman "Chiclet Mouth" Coleman.

Just remembering that I was once in the same room as that asshat gives me the creeps.

:scared:

[Cobalt-60]

92. Freddie Mercury sang it best: I want it All!

We can't spare a single one of these torture party cockroaches.
They've all got to go.
I suppose I despise Mitch McConnell enough to take him out first.
And on the principle of starting close to home, let's bag Ray LaHood first.
One Republican in the Illinois delegation is one too many.

[Mark E. Smith]

93. David Dreier

Warner gonna kick his butt.

[CreekDog]

96. i've had it in for John Doolittle R-CA (east of Sacramento)

since my high school class field trip to Sacramento when upon meeting his staffer, said staffer commenced to tearing us a new one for asking about public school financing. yes i mean yelling, actual red faced yelling and belittling of us.

at the time i was a budding Republican. that exchange gave me a serious :wtf: to ponder for a while.

[POAS]

97. Norm Coleman/ Ralph Regula

Coleman for obvious reasons that include Al Franken taking his place.

Regula because it helps turn my home state blue.

[DFW]

99. I'm from Texas, so it's Cornyn

Although I'd LOVE to see Al Franken replace Colman, too.

House--Mean Jean Schmidt, hands down.

[ccharles000]

100. Dole

[terrya]

102. I believe Ray LaHood isn't running this year.

He's retiring.

The Democrats here think they have a good chance of picking up that seat. If that happens, since that district is a Republican stronghold in Illinois, we'll be having a GREAT night. :-)

[AlinPA]

104. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

[NorthCarolina]

107. No question about it for me, Liddy Dole

I want to see her go bye bye.

[progdog]

109. John Doolittle.

Used to live in his district. Environmentally stupid.

[unapatriciated]

110. Has anyone mentioned Pelosi yet?

[wyldwolf]

112. or Sanders?

[WillyT]

111. Doolittle Is Retiring...

<snip>

In the sprawling 4th Congressional District, which extends from the Sacramento suburbs east to Lake Tahoe and north to the Oregon border, Democrat Charlie Brown has $675,000 in the bank for his race to replace veteran GOP Rep. John Doolittle, who is retiring one step ahead of FBI investigators. On the Republican side, state Sen. Tom McClintock has about $117,000 on hand for the contest.

<snip>

Link: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=28199

So...

I'd like to see Duncan Hunter and Mitch McConnell get handed their hats.

:hi:

[LWolf]

113. MY reps, of course:

Gordon Smith

Greg Walden...you don't have Walden on your list. Perhaps because he's considered "safe?" He's the one I most want to see "go down" in November. His Democratic challenger is Noah Lemas.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

114. Joe Lieberman in the Senate; Steve Chabot in the House

nt

[DCal]

115. The House list contains Republicans who are retiring

not those who are running for re-election.

[goodgd_yall]

116. Imhofe

With Tancredo and Hunter behind by a nostril.

[Major Hogwash]

119. Lindsey Graham

If his brains were gun powder, he wouldn't be able to blow his nose.

[spooky3]

120. Hmmm...it's so hard to choose...they all look so good!

Good and ripe for defeat, that is.

[Awsi Dooger]

121. I guess the correct answer is Sessions

He's the biggest favorite. Someone already posted the incredibly lopsided cash on hand. On Intrade it's practically an out price, between 95 and 98% likelihood he'll be re-elected. That's about as high as Intrade goes. True odds are certainly higher than that, barring anything unforeseen regarding health.

If Sessions somehow loses, it's a tsunami that would take down almost everyone on this list.

[tannybogus]

122. Lindsey Graham (also known as Cain't's right side handler)

and Joe Lieberman (also known as Cain'ts left side handler)

Seriously, you never see Cain't without Lindsey, Cindy, and Joe.

They make Huey, Dewey, and Louey look like Phds.

[undeterred]

123. Wisconsin's Paul Ryan

[boomerbust]

126. Stevens and Bachman

<<<<<<<<<<<

[PATRICK]

129. NY Reynolds was out a long time ago

Randy Kuhl- NY 29(a tougher district) still in against strong progressive Eric Massa. At present a tossup but prospects are for improving. I think Reynolds seat is up for grabs by the winner of the Dem primary.

WANT Kuhl to go down? Hell, we're MAKING him go down.

[butterfly77]

130. For the senators I can't pick just one but..

at the top of my list would be Mitch McConnell. For the House I have been screaming for years about Duncan Hunter but he is not running his son is running for his seat. So Ray Lahood would be my second choice..

133. John Cornyn of Texas!!!

:woohoo:

134. Why isn't Don Young on here as a R. incumbent

up for re-election? The bastard's been in DC since 1973, and he's GOT TO GO. There is no more corrupt representative in Congress, I guarantee.

136. thanks

but way too late to edit! I guess he's your pick. :)

137. Chris Smith, NJ 4th District

One of the leading anti-choice Republicans on the Hill. Being challenged by Josh Zeitz, an early Obama supporter who has an uphill battle but is raising money and knocking on doors.

138. Inhofe in the Senate. It would be just fine with me if

he were not returned to that chamber. It would be even better if a giant pteradactyl swooped down from the sky and carried the son-of-a-bitch far, far away and dropped him down the mouth of a volcano, never to be heard from again.

In the House, I'll go with the smarmy, cocky, and dangerous Steve Buyer (R-Indiana). Never did like that guy and I like him a lot less today.

139. Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina

140. I want Cornyn outta here!

Buh-bye Johnny boy.....

[Avalux]

143. You an me both. He's a smug, arrogant SOB.

Did you happen to see the ad for his re-election? Ugh.

[Blarch]

142. Stevens, Sessions, Inhofe and Graham.

Make it so.

144. Jim Walsh is retiring

and if Maffei doesn't blow it he will be the next Representative fot my district.

[whistler162]

145. Why isn't "Mean" Jean Schmidt on your list???

[DCal]

149. Because for some reason the list contains Republicans

retiring from the House instead of those running for re-election.

[whistler162]

152. Well that is not what the original question was!!

"Rules: pick one Senator and one House member... the one you want to see go DOWN in Novemember 2008!

Here they are"

150. All - but Cornyn most

151. Coleman and Bachman

Normie is nothing but an opportunistic tuchus-leker. The only thing he has ever believed in is advancing the position of Norm Coleman. Had we cannibals in Minnesota, Normie would be the first to promise them nice fat missionaries for dinner.

Michele Bachman is the craziest person I have ever seen in the public arena. Not just to-the-bone stupid, but absolutely 150% utterly batshit insane. She is a long, loud, horrible-smelling fart in the middle of a funeral service and a disgrace to humanity.

154. Suxbig Chambliss may be the most contemptible pig-fucker in the history of politics.
