Who are the Worst US Representatives?

[coloradodem2005]

Who in the house of Reps is the worst?

I will go with my Rep, Tom Tancredo for being ineffective and one-issue on immigration. As well as that despicable letter he sent me defending Rumsfeld.

Also Marylin Musgrave for her anti-gay marriage ammendment.

[wryter2000]

1. DeLay

'nuff said.

[coloradodem2005]

3. Damn. How could I forget Delay?

[amber dog democrat]

2. Tom Delay

He has done a huge ammount of damage here in Texas.

[meow2u3]

26. I sceond the nomination of Tom DeLay....

...as the worst (as in "most evil") Rep in Congress.

[indepat]

27. I third the nomination for DeLay

[Langis]

4. Marylin Musgrave all the way

On top of being a bigot she is stupid and has problems speaking when she can't spout talking points.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. John Boozman

(R) of Arkansas. He isn't too bright and simply toes the party line, even when it is against the interests of his constituency.

[Pepperbelly]

28. When I think of Boozeman and his brother both, I think of Ozzie's montage

Same shit, different asshole.

[alonso_quijano]

6. The Stupidest Member of Congress [tm]!

http://www.house.gov/hostettler/

Used to be my representative. Thank god for redistricting.

[TransitJohn]

7. Barbara Cubin (R)-Wyo

Engineered a giveaway of public land to the LDS church. Misses almost half of every vote. Way to represent us, your constituents, Babs!

[CBHagman]

10. I forgot about that nasty little woman.

A few years back I went to a hearing of one of the subcommittees of the House Commerce Committee. The topic was PBS, and the usual subcommittee crowd was there -- Billy Tauzin (R-LA), Ed Markey (D-MA), John Dingell (D-MI). Dingell in particular impressed me with his wonderfully laid-back way of eviscerating right-wing shills.

Anyway, Barbara Cubin got her underwear all in a twist because she'd discovered that local PBS stations had chosen to air a program on school districts' efforts to promote tolerance of gays. She proclaimed that we needed to "smack the heck out of" stations that were running said program.

So much for the vaunted GOP reverence for local control. Raise your hand if you want an ignorant, vindictive creature dictating what your local PBS station shows after 10:00 p.m.

Besides that, there's DeLay. :puke: :puke: :puke:

But Cubin is also worthy of mention.

[w13rd0]

8. Besides the obvious ones already stated...

...I have a particular dislike for that toad JD Hayworth.

[hippiegranny]

14. i hear you! Hayworthless IS a toad

there is a moderate repub running against him, a woman (I forget her name) and some of my friends who live in that district are switching parties to help defeat him.

[City Lights]

21. Her name is Elizabeth Rogers.

http://www.er2004.com/

jd hayworthless SUCKS.

[69KV]

41. Elizabeth Rogers is the Democratic opponent

The liberal Repub. running against Hayworth is Roselyn O'Connell.

She doesn't have a chance, and I don't recommend anyone switch parties to the Repukes just to vote for her in the primary, but more power to her.

Worst representatives in Congress:

1. Virgil Goode (R-VA). Party switching formerly "Democratic" traitor, who is further to the right than even most other Repukes in Congress. Virgil Goode is the person responsible for getting the rider attached to No Child Left Behind, that requires schools to turn over school records to military recruiters.

2. Rick Renzi (R-VA..er..AZ). Carpetbagging poster boy for the National Security State. His dad is VP of Mantech International which makes computer equipment for the CIA and National Security Agency, and his rich daddy basically paid for his Arizona congress seat. He lives in Virginia and rented a house in Arizona six months before the election so he could claim Arizona residence. He has since defaulted on his rent payments.

3. George Nethercutt (R-WA). The guy responsible for Tom Foley losing his position as House Speaker. Nethercutt later broke his two-terms promise, and ran for a third term, which makes him a liar too. He's now running for U.S. Senate, which he will lose, but the good thing is he is giving up his House seat to run for Senate, and come November he won't be on Capitol Hill at all. See ya later George and take the other George with you when ya go!!

4. John Mica (R-FL). High-tech jobs in his own district outsourced overseas? Tough tooties, says John Mica. After all, he is one of the biggest promoters of outsourcing and downsizing that Congress has. This guy doesn't give a rat's you know what about his own constituents, and is the very epitome of "let them eat cake."

5. Trent Franks (R-AZ). Former one-term Arizona state representative and close pals of ex-AZ governor Evan Mecham. He won a seat in the U.S. Congress by accident two years ago. He's completely a one-issue person (anti abortion) and even most of his own party agree that he's nuts.

and last but definitely not least:

6. Tom DeLay (R-TX). No comment.

On edit: Does anyone remember a few years ago when the "worst" list would definitely have included Linda Smith (R-WA), Helen Chenoweth (R-ID), Sonny Bono (R-CA) and a few others? The more things change, the more they stay the same.,

[Parche]

9. the worst

Henry Hyde (IL)
Sensebrenner (WI)
Tom Delay (TX)

[ralps]

39. Oh Joy! (sarcasm intended)

Sensebrenner (WI) lives near my parents in Waukesha County. I wish I could vote him out but I don't live in his district
ralps

[dietdpfan]

11. Hayworth (r) AZ

He is a shady SOB.

[bigbillhaywood]

31. welcome to DU. And he is a scumbag. I know of him from some union

dealings we had with him sometime back. Right-wing anti-union fuckhead.

[TahitiNut]

49. Yup. J. D. Hayworth, Duncan Hunter, and Joe Knollenberg

... are all jackbooted fascists along with Tom Delay.

[Zen]

12. DeLay, Musgrave - See my nice email to Musgrave within - it's GOOD!

"Hi,

I saw you on Larry King last night. I'm not gay, but the nicest people that I know are my aunt and her partner. My aunt is a former nun and nurse (she is retired now) and she helped my family out often when we were children. It pains me that she has to use "tricks" she learned as a nurse to visit her aging partner when she may be in the hospital. Never mind the hundreds of other rights she has to forgo... You came across as very dispassionate and unforgiving last night - my voice is hoarse from yelling at the top of my lungs "you're gonna burn in hell you fucking whore!!" - I yelled over and over again. I know it's a little over the top, but it is the type of feeling that I get when I see people casually dismissing the lives of some of our nicest and most dedicated citizens. In a way you likely will burn in hell as I believe that hell is here on earth and you will have to live with knowing that millions of people, just like me, passionately hate (I do not like to use this word - but you really deserve it) you now because you appear to be so incredibly cold - almost like you were being controlled by Satan. Sorry, but I see no salvation for you."

[coloradodem2005]

16. You are probably on John Ashcroft's terrorist list now.

Though, I must say, nicely done. You said what I think a lot of people are feeling. I last read that her Dem opponent was in a statistical dead heat with her. One can only hope that this will be her downfall.

[Langis]

18. I love that email!

I was watching Larry King that night as well, I was thinking all the same things I just wish I would have put them down and sent her a letter!

Good work!

[Bjornsdotter]

13. Dennis Hastert (R-IL)

....great now that I've typed that evil name I need to go and burn my keyboard.

Cheers,
Kim :toast:

[kentuck]

15. Joel Hefley has to be in the running...

I ran against him in '98..:) Imagine a liberal running in Colorado Springs?

[coloradodem2005]

17. You used to live in Colorado?

Colorado Springs is not a good area to run as a Democrat. I don't think he is going anywhere.

It makes me angry that there are so many of these idiots in my home state. Some of the reason I say such negative things about Colorado is because of people like this infesting my state.

[King_Crimson]

19. Mark Souder (R-4th district Indiana)...

Proudly representing the area where I dwell...AAAAGGGHHH:puke:
His claim to fame...suggesting Reagan replace FDR on the dime! Whatta guy! :puke:

[blueblitzkrieg]

20. Hate my rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM)

She's a Bush lapdog. ""

I'm praying Richard Romero will take this sea hag out!

[duhneece]

25. And Stevan Pearce, her evil NewMexican twin

Two horrible human beings.

[genius]

22. Darrell Issa and Tom Delay

[yardwork]

23. In addition to these marvelous entrants, there's Sue Myrick in the

Charlotte area of NC. A real right-wing religious ideologue.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

40. NC's republican bunch!

U.S. Rep. Cass Ballenger (R) blames the breakup of his 50-year marriage partly on the stress of living near a leading American Muslim advocacy group... Another stress on their marriage: the decision by 'we holier-than-thou Republicans' in the House, Ballenger said, to ban gifts -- including meals and theater tickets from lobbyists -- that once meant 'a social life for (congressional) wives.'... Ballenger said in the post 9-11 environment in Washington, his wife, a homemaker, was anxious about all the activity at CAIR, including people unloading boxes and women 'wearing hoods,' or headscarves going in and out of the office building on New Jersey Avenue. 'That's 2 1/2 blocks from the Capitol,' he added, 'and they could blow it up.'


"You know, and this can be misconstrued, but honest to goodness (husband) Ed and I for years, for 20 years, have been saying, 'You know, look at who runs all the convenience stores across the country.' Every little town you go into, you know?"
- U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC), who as the Charlotte Observer reported, "confided in a speech that she had been driving, worried, around the country for decades fueled by suspicions about Arab and Arab-looking convenience store owners." <2/7/03>


"They were an endangered species. For many of these Japanese Americans, it wasn't safe for them to be on the street... "Some (Japanese Americans) probably were intent on doing harm to us, just as some of these Arab Americans are probably intent on doing harm to us."
- U.S. Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC), who according to the AP "agreed with the World War II policy of confining Japanese -Americans to internment camps."

[fujiyama]

24. Everyone's forgetting

Dan Burton. What an ass.

Of course DeLay and Hastert make the list as well.

[Zorra]

29. Not my Rep, but Duncan Hunter of California seems really awful.

http://www.issues2000.org/CA/Duncan_Hunter.htm

[arbusto_baboso]

30. Two Words. Dana. Rohrabacher.

This guy isn't just an embarassment to his district; he's an embarassment to the whole state of California.

This is a guy who built a shrine to the Virgin Mary in his back yard with leftover campaign funds.

Assclown.

[Mz Pip]

32. So many to name

so little time...

Dana Rohrbacher from CA
Darrell Issa also from CA
JD Haystack er.. Hayworth

and of course Tom DeLay
Then there's that Cuban Repug from Florida who was all over the screen during the Elian Gonsalez thing - Lincoln Diaz Belart> I'm sure I've spelled that wrong.

MzPip
:dem:

[Mel]

33. Well a lot of you have already named

most of the ones I don't like but you forgot that snarling Bill Thomas.

[demnan]

34. Bill Thomas - R (CA)

When I worked at the House the mere mention of his office aides gave me the shudders

[EndElectoral]

35. DeLay easily

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

36. Steve Chabot (R-OH)

House Impeachment Manager

Religious Zealot (Sponsors Repeated Bans on "Partial Birth Abortion")

0% Lifetime Rating from the National Breast Cancer Coalition

Really, Realy, Bad Comb-Over

[ButterflyBlood]

37. Tom DeLay

is there really anyone else who can top him?

Musgrave's a close second.

[Amaya]

38. DeLay

DeLay DeLay DeLay DeLay!

[The Zanti Regent]

42. Melissa Fart, er, Hart of PA

Rick Santorum's rubber stamp.

[Liberal_Dog]

43. I Have To Go With Terrible Tom Delay

eom

[Enraged_Ape]

44. New Mexico's Heather Wilson is in a class by herself

Just listen to her (crocodile) tearful diatribe against CBS for flashing an uncovered woman's breast during the Super Bowl.:

http://www.alibi.com/alibi_images/mp3/wilson.mp3

[joanne]

46. Delay and Hastert

:puke: :puke:

[fujiyama]

45. I forgot

a few morons from CA:

David Drier and Darrel Issa (whaaaa :cry:)

[Moloch]

47. DeLay

He is evil. Evil right down to his cold black heart, which pumps not blood like yours and mine but rather a thick, vomitous oil that oozes through his rotten veins and clots in his pea sized brain which becomes the cause of his patterns of Nazi-esque behavior. Understand?

[Warren DeMontague]

48. Tom DeLay n/t
