How do you feel about your Senators?

[ccharles000]

I hate both Dole and Burr but Dole lost so I am so very happy. But as Dole is still my Senator I voted Hate both.

[hack89]

1. Whitehouse and Reed - great guys

Reed is especially impressive.

[polichick]

2. I like Casey a whole lot better than Specter, but don't hate either one.

[globalvillage]

27. Casey is really starting to impress me.

I wasn't too excited when I volunteered for him two years ago, but he's been pretty great lately. I talked to him recently, and he seems sincere in wanting to do his best for the country. Besides, he was an awesome surrogate for Obama.
I'll have to vote -- Love Casey, can't wait to get rid of Specter.

[polichick]

35. Haven't met Casey, but I too have been happy with him lately!

[eyesroll]

3. Love one, tolerate the other.

Feingold and Kohl.

[Shiver]

66. About the same here

Feingold is fantastic, Kohl... I don't hate him, but compared to Feingold, he just seems 'eh'.

[boomerbust]

81. DITTO

<<<<<<<

[PBS Poll-435]

4. Cornyn & Bailey-Hutchison

:puke:

[Beacool]

31. My sincerest condolences.

:eyes:

[PBS Poll-435]

42. If not for lack of $$$, Cornyn would have been soundly defeated.

Rick Noriega should have made Billy Mays the campaign's spokesman.

[BlueGirlRedState]

80. Yeah, me too.

sigh.

[youthere]

5. Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley. Harkin's terrific...I got to meet him a couple times...

but Grassley is an asshole and a complete tool.

[sellitman]

6. Love one...Hate the other.

Dodd & Lieberman


Guess which one is which?

[FLAprogressive]

7. Hate one.....tolerate the other

Mel Martinez & Bill Nelson, respectively. Nelson's OK, he's a DINO but I respect him for voting against the bailout.

[AnOhioan]

8. Brown and Voinovich.....

Rumor has it Voinovich will not be seeking re-election. One can only hope...

[Ikonoklast]

38. Do Nothing George has had a belly full

But I think he would have a hard time getting re-elected anyway.

Damn shame that he let party politics trump trying to help our state.


Sen. Brown, OTOH, needs to be cloned and copies sent to every state. Love that guy.

[lunatica]

9. Barbara Boxer I love, Dianne Feinstein I loathe

[Hatchling]

44. Ditto.

Boxer is awesome. Feinstein not so much.

[AndyTiedye]

45. Feinstein is Being Blackmailed

She was OK until Bush** "took her for a ride" on AF1.

There, she was most likely shown what the NSA wiretappers had scooped up.
She has been Bush**'s bitch ever since.

[Irishonly]

85. Ditto

[mvd]

10. Specter - hate (two-faced Senator,) and Casey like but not love

:hi:

[harun]

64. Same here. At least we don't have Santorum anymore.

[camera obscura]

11. Coleman & Klobuchar - loathe one, neutral on the other

[stranger_with_candy]

12. Lieberman

Enough said. Love Dodd though.

[PM7nj]

13. Menendez and Lautenberg. Like both of them very much!

[tabbycat31]

23. ditto

[MercutioATC]

14. Other: Love Sherrod Brown, neutral on Voinovich.

For a Republican, Voinovich isn't that bad a Senator.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. both mine are Blue Dogs

and both have been known to vote with Bush a lot. I'm hoping to see a shift to the left on things like reproductive rights and gay rights, but I'm not holding my breath. Arkansas just passed a horrific anti-child amendment that keeps any non-married couple from fostering/adopting kids so that gays are denied this right. Made me sick.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Boxer and Feinstein

Love them both.

:hide:

[quakerboy]

29. Whats good about Feinstein?

Really asking here. Ive heard intimated that she's pretty dirty, in the spectrum of Senate Dems, but haven't followed any specifics. What is her good side?

[Arkana]

17. John Kerry and Ted Kennedy.

Both fucking awesome in their own way.

[GCP]

65. Mine too, and I LOVE them!

:thumbsup:

[a la izquierda]

18. Coburn and Inhofe...

guess how I voted.:puke:

[tritsofme]

19. I only have one senator, Dick Durbin.

I don't know whatever happened to that other guy we had?

[Alter Ego]

69. Oh yeah--that SEEKRIT MOOSLEM guy what was runnin' fer President.

What was his name? Saddam Hussein Obama or sumpin'?

[jellen]

20. senators

We have a great guy and an average one. The great one is Russ Feingold. Herb Kohl is the other.

[northernlights]

21. I think Snowe is probably ok

but Collins, the *-kissing dim-bulb of the senate? All I can say is at least she's not Lieberwuss.

[Ediacara]

48. Her voice!

Jesus Christ....

[Lucky 13]

22. Sanders and Leahy. LOVE them.

[cali]

25. Ditto.

We have two of the best.

[Arugula Latte]

24. After Nov. 4, I now love them both. (Oregon)

We got rid of Gordon Smith, the Republican scumbag.

Now we have Wyden and Merkley, both Dems. :woohoo:

[quakerboy]

26. seconded

Wyden seems decent, and Merkley just may turn out to be a really good.

[Arugula Latte]

76. I loved how Merkley talked about restoring civil liberties in his victory speech.

[Clio the Leo]

28. I still have not forgiven Corker for....

.... the way he screwed over Harold. "I met Harold at the Playboy Party!"
Grrrrrr.

I doubt I ever will.

[Beacool]

30. I'm OK with them

Menendez is my neighbor (as is Corzine) and I see him once in a while, long enough to give him a piece of my mind. LOL!!!

Lautenberg is like 110, but who was I go to vote for? Zimmer? I don't think so.

:7

[karynnj]

86. I like both of mine - especially Lautenberg

Have you ever met Lautenberg? I met him at a Democratic party event in support of Menendez in Morris County. He was very good - especially when he was just talking informally. For example, one couple said hello and mentioned that their family, like his, came from Patterson NJ. He then spoke of the things in Patterson which moved him to enter public life. He spoke of his dad and other older relatives working in the silk mills of Patterson, in the days before any OSHA standards. His dad pushed him to excel in school and told him that he didn't want him to work in the mills - because he knew it had to be unhealthy because you could see the air wasn't clean. His dad, like many other workers died young, at 45. Lautenberg then spoke of how unions changed this. (He ended up fighting in WWII and going to college on the GI bill.) This was not part of his speech - it was just speaking to people, but a crowd quickly gathered to listen and he was spellbinding.

I may have some of the details wrong - this was (obviously) fall 2006 and I didn't write anything down then.

So, in addition to being the guy who brought in a poster of a chickenhawk, he is a very progressive, liberal Democrat.

[ogneopasno]

32. One is Sen. Klobuchar and the other is Norm Coleman rubbing his ass all over Wellstone's seat...

You can probably guess my vote.

[terrya]

33. Durbin is good. As we know, there's another to be named.

We'll see.

[elizm]

34. Hate is a strong word...

I'm from SC...so read between the lines, if you know who my Senators are.

[TheKentuckian]

36. Slinker and Stinker...err...McConnel and Bunning

fucking awful.

[RichGirl]

37. Love them!

Senator Jim Webb and Senator-elect Mark Warner. Then we have Governor Kaine. All dems...not bad for a state formerly known as...RED!

[beachmom]

39. I'm in Georgia. How do you THINK I feel about my Senators? nt

[racaulk]

75. +1

I think our opinions here in Georgia can be easily assumed in this poll. :hug:

[Occam Bandage]

40. Klobuchar is a good, solid Dem. Coleman is a pustule.

[blue_onyx]

41. Mine are Stabenow and Levin

I like them both. Both voted against the Iraq war and both voted against FISA. Stabenow voted against the 700 billion which looking back was the correct decision. I believe they both are fighting for the US automakers which also makes me happy. I saw Stabenow on Rachel Maddow's show and she did a great job of defending the automakers. Overall, I think I have two very good Senators representing my state.

[PeaceNikki]

43. Feingold/Kohl.... LOVE/meh

[SemiCharmedQuark]

46. I only have one at the moment, Durbin. My second senator resigned to pursue...

other interests.

:D

[Jennicut]

72. hee, hee....hope you get a great replacement

[Ediacara]

47. Murray and Cantwell

I wouldn't say I love them, but I like them both.

I used to have Baucus and Tester (before then Burns). I am not very fond of Baucus, but I really like Tester.

[Hokie]

49. Mitch "Tobacco Whore" McConnell & Senility Poster Geezer Bunning

Love that pair!

[IndianaGreen]

50. Hate them both. They are both useless!

Lugar and Bayh. :puke:

[Third Doctor]

51. I live in Alabama...

I'm a liberal through and through so I really detest both Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby.

[ccharles000]

53. ...

:hug:

[Phoonzang]

52. Now that Biden isn't one of them...

Indifferent. I don't know anything about Carper. I also don't know anything about the fellow they're replacing Biden with.

[Jennicut]

73. Ted Kaufman worked for Biden for years, he is a good guy

Very knowledgeable on foreign policy

[mtnsnake]

54. I love my two

They've actually worked hard on behalf of rural NY when few other senators have done half as much.

[MrSlayer]

55. "Single Bullet" Specter and "Cardboard" Bob Casey.

Let's just say I'm not thrilled.

[Hippo_Tron]

56. Landrieu, she's fine for Louisiana. Vitter... need I say more?

[Radical Activist]

57. I had the two best in America.

Until Obama resigned.

[Darian]

58. Hatch and Bennett

Hate them both, especially Hatch.

[mucifer]

59. Only got 1 senator, Durbin. The other senator got promoted.

I like Mr. Durbin.

[bridgit]

60. DiFi can be a little like, "Where'd she go!?" but they're both alright...

I get stuff all the time from Boxer :thumbsup:

[Withywindle]

61. I don't even know who one of my Senators is!

Like many people on this thread, I just lost one. The American people gave him a better offer. :D


Will I love him/her as much as I love Dick Durbin? Probably not. But I bet whoever it is, IL will still have a nice pair.

[stillcool]

62. Kerry and Kennedy..

I think they're both good people who care, and do their best for the people of my state.. and that's all I can ask for.

[davidpdx]

63. It depends, if you are asking me about the two who we will have

in Jan then fantastic (Merkley will be replacing Smith then). As for now, I hate one and like the other.

[Bluenorthwest]

67. Wait! I voted wrong...

I voted 'love them both' but I meant the current Ron Wyden and Senator Elect Merkely. I probably should have read more closely and vote love one and hate Gordon 'say goodbye to DC' Smith. I dislike Smith so much that in my mind he is already gone and Jeff Merkley is already in his seat.

[Vinca]

68. Can't stand either of them, but at least Sununu is toast. nt

[enuegii]

70. Shelby and Sessions...

Hate 'em both-- especially Shelby.

[Jennicut]

71. Loserman is mine, that says it all. I always liked Dodd though.

[LWolf]

74. Other: there's a lot of ground between "love," "hate," and "neutral."

Wyden: more positive than not, but don't "love" him. "Like" him most of the time.

Merkely: He just got elected, hasn't served. Time will tell. I hope to "like" him, as well.

Smith: On his way out, and I'm glad. I don't "hate" him. I think "hate" is destructive and counterproductive. I am filled with satisfaction that he's been evicted, I strongly opposed him as my Senator.

[Neshanic]

77. Kyle/McCain. Nuff said.

[kath]

78. I live in Oklahoma. 'Nuff said.

[Milspec]

87. Me too why did I leave Socal

[PufPuf23]

79. Boxer is Good; Feinstein Bleccchhh

Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum, is a no-bid contract war profiter.

Boxer is a warm and caring person and one of the best pols we have.

[skeewee08]

82. I live in Oklahoma Nuff said, however I luv our Govenor!

He was an Obama supported from day 1.

[Deep13]

83. Very happy with one, so-so on the other.

Ohio

Sherrod Brown (D) is great, Voinovich (R) is not terrible, but is nothing to write home about either.

[Phredicles]

84. Boxer rocks; Feinstein's a bit of a lame-o who redeemed herself a little

by coming out so forcefully against prop. h8.
