Which state is cursed with the worst pair of Senators?

[marmar]

There are some UGLY duos out there, but my greatest pity is for Oklahoma - Inhofe and Coburn. :scared:

[terrya]

1. Sorry, Oklahoma...

But you've got THE worst pair of Senators in the United States Senate.

Inhofe and Coburn are a pair of right wing nut jobs.

[fudge stripe cookays]

3. Yeah, even though I can't stand helmet head, and didn't vote for her (obviously)

she's sort of almost a woman and understands SOME women's issues. I voted for Oklahoma too.

:D

[blogslut]

12. Yeah but Cornyn counts twice!

He's just that bad. And poor old Kay is just a go-alonger.

[madokie]

45. I voted for ok because I live here with the bastards

optical scanners count our votes the way they want them counted, they being the powers to be.

[WolverineDG]

69. Asshat & Helmet Hair

No place but Texas x(

:hi: fsc!

dg

[madokie]

5. so very true

our votes here in ok is counted on optical scanners, just so you know

[guitar man]

33. I'll agree

and I'm an Okie. The absoulute worst douchebags on the planet. x(

[Rosemary2205]

59. Yep - I'm in GA and still voted for OK.

My senators suck lips but that Okie bunch is even worse.

[blogslut]

2. My State! I win! I win!

I'll give ya'll a hint...The name of my state starts with a "T" and ends with an ass. :(

[lisa58]

4. I agree, for a State that I think is great every time I go there....

...Oklahoma doesn't know how to elect representatives.

[madokie]

7. see post 5

[lisa58]

11. That makes sense

[daa]

6. These two Bubba's

are going to vote with Bush to withhold child care money. Peachcare in Georgia was not taking new people and talking about kicking people off but the people of Georgia overwhelmingly support Peachcare. Like WalMart families and Publix families have to use Peachcare for healthcare because they don't make enough. Yet these two assholes are with Bush to stop funding. Bubba Chambliss will not be reelected next year. They both vote with Bush 100% of the time. A couple of brain dead Bubbas.

[peace13]

8. Ohio had Voinovich and DeWine and that would take any prize.

DeWiner was sent packing but Voinovich does enough damage for two. Brown, however is a keeper! peace, Kim

[HughBeaumont]

51. Beat me to it!

Used to be Ohio. That was the ultimate worst, having that holy roller, Bewsh rubber-stamp DeSwine as my Senaturd. GOD that guy sucked. We're SO much better off under Brown.

Can't wait until Voinovich gets the same treatment in 2010.

[ripple]

9. Sorry to say Kansas

An evangelical whacko(Sam Brownback) and a war-mongering apologist(Pat Roberts) for Bushco.

[gademocrat7]

10. Georgia, my state has two of the worst.

[Clark2008]

13. Other: Tennessee

Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.

It was worse, though. We had Cadaver Frist before.

[indepat]

37. Second the motion.

[ellenfl]

41. i believe you mean 'cat-killer frist'. eom

[Hippo_Tron]

70. I've actually spoken to Alexander, we could do worse

Granted we could also do a LOT better. But still, Alexander isn't one of the flat earth people like Inhofe and he didn't go onto the Senate floor and defend torture after Abu Ghreib. I think Oklahoma beats us.

[blondeatlast]

14. Arizona--McCain and Kyl. McCain is bad, but Kyl flies under the radar.

He's the Tom DeLay of the Senate; working the sleaze out of the eyes of the public.

Watch him; he's sneakt and manipulative as hell.

(and yes, I'm from AZ)

[NMDemDist2]

16. yes, those two are in the top tier of horrible senators for sure! n/t

[blondeatlast]

28. Oh, sure--you can say that NOW...

:rofl::hi:

[NMDemDist2]

36. well Dominici is no prize I tell ya

:rofl:

and Bingaman, although he has a (D) after his name, is still in the oil company's pockets. Oil/Gas is a big player here and one of the largest employers in the state so he has to play nice

[AzDar]

63. I honestly believe that the outrage over Kyl's unwavering support for that

tremendously awful 'immigration reform' may be his undoing.
People (RepubliCons) here are PISSED.
It is quite enjoyable.....
:rofl:

[ThomWV]

15. Texas.

[Lobster Martini]

17. This is like asking which penitentiary is cursed with the worst bunch of criminals...

Utah is hard to beat, Mississippi is hard to beat--for god's sake, do we need to beat Trent Lott with cricket bats to get him to go away?--but I have to give Kentucky some slack because Jim Bunning pitched a perfect game for the Philadelphia Phillies.

[conspirator]

53. lol

[supernova]

18. North Carolina - Richard Burr/Elizabeth Dole

Neither one of them has done anything other than rubber stamp every facsist thing to come out of the White House.

x( x( x(

[DURHAM D]

21. Agree. Although Oklahoma runs a hard second.

[Endangered Specie]

57. Yup, I can't wait for We're-Not-In-Kansas Liddy to be sent home

Granted she is *better* than Jesse Helms (which is damnation with very faint praise).

[Richard Steele]

64. North Carolina was the first state to pop into my mind as well! nm

[shenmue]

19. I almost chose South Carolina

Still, I had to go with Oklahoma.

[Cirque du So-What]

20. I was compelled to choose my own state's dastardly duo

as a way of asking the voters, 'WTF were you thinking?!' To be sure, there are some fuggly pairs listed, but I have to take into account My Bitch Mitch's selection as Minority Leader when making my choice.

[burythehatchet]

22. How the heck does one make the case that one os better than the other

They're all horrible.

[tnlurker]

23. My state of TN

Alexander/Corker

In all the other states listed your senators are known far right zealots. In Tn both act as moderates but always votes the party line. To listen to then talk you think they may have some moderate views but they never fail to disappoint when it comes time to vote.

[BeyondGeography]

24. I took Texas over Oklahoma because Coburn is capable of partnering with us on open government

http://obama.senate.gov/podcast/060914-091406_coburn-obama_transparency_bill/index.html

and nothing positive ever comes out of CornHutch.

[Douglas Carpenter]

25. I would have to go with Oklahoma

my apologies to all the good folks of Oklahoma.

But those two are batshit crazy.

To have a leftwing equivalent you would have to have one from the Revolutionary Communist Party and the other from the Spartacist League.

[Terran]

26. Before '06 I think Missouri would have been up there

Talent/Bond, what a couple of d*psh*ts. Now we have Claire McCaskill, woot!

[lonestarnot]

27. McDrain and Bile.

AZ by far. And people wonder why I'm a fucking grouch. hmmmmf.

[Subdivisions]

29. Texas. Without a damn doubt. Pfffft! n/t

[MasonJar]

30. I had to vote for my own two guys because they are dumb and dumber,

McConnell and Bunning. That said, I am not sure that any state, even Kentucky, can top Oklahoma.

[LeftyMom]

31. Oklahoma. Kansas is a close second based on Brownback. nt

[originalpckelly]

32. It sounds like a euphemism for balls. "My Senators are bigger than yours!"

:rofl:

[frogcycle]

34. sorry, can't choose

Kentucky's pair is sssoooooo bad, but Oklahoma probably outdoes them, and frankly they just all flat out stink. Maybe because of McConnel's position Kentucky should get it.

[road2000]

62. Kentucky fer sher

Bunning's a mental vegetable, but still capable of doing damage. And each vote for our esteemed minority leader should count twice, since he's married to a hanging chao.

[regularguy]

35. Inhofe by himself is the two worst Senators....

[lisa58]

40. really true...

...but Pat Roberts by himself come in a close second.

[MiniMe]

38. Love mine, Cardin and Mikulski

[Pendrench]

46. Agreed...we're VERY lucky. n/t

[TlalocW]

39. OOOOOOOOO-KLAHOMA, where we put assholes in the senate

Duh-da-dum-dum
Duh-da-dum-dum
Duh-da-dee-da-dee-dah-dee-daaaaah
Something about wind sweeping or corn growing, etc.

I forget the actual words.

TlalocW

[marmar]

42. Teehee....

:D

[LeftishBrit]

43. In this context, I once came across a joke (and I honestly can't remember which state it was)

"What's the difference between the Emperor Caligula and the voters of (American state) X?"

"The Emperor Caligula put one whole horse in the Senate, and the voters of X put two horses' asses in the Senate."


BTW, I've gone from being represented by one of my country's worst MPs, John Patten, to one of the best, Evan Harris; so there's always hope.

[fishwax]

44. Oklahoma, sadly, and it isn't close

Of course, having lived with Inhofe as my senator for several years colors my judgment a little bit :puke: He is the worst senator in America, imo, and Coburn is pretty high on the list as well ...

[MessiahRp]

47. There are some bad Senators on there but none as stupid and ignorant as Oklahomas.

Inhofe may be the biggest mental reject ever to be voted into the Senate.

Rp

[Forkboy]

48. I see a trend in the locations.

:)

[Virginia Dare]

49. Oklahoma..

but I do give honorable mentions to South Carolina and Kansas..gad, all of those states have my deepest sympathies. Get those asshats gone!

[madinmaryland]

50. Alaska - with Ted Stevens and Lisa Murkowski??

[Hippo_Tron]

72. You may have a case for that in terms of actual damage done

Ted Stevens is extremely powerful and he's also been in the Senate forever which means he's had time to do lots of damage.

[AllieB]

52. I realize how lucky I am with Kennedy and Kerry as my Senators.

The ones in your poll are truly frightening.

[Forkboy]

54. You got it.

Throw in Frank and Delahunt and we're not doing too bad in the politician department. :)

[AllieB]

61. Markey, Tierney, and Capuano aren't bad either.

I hope a woman replaces Marty Meehan. I was never too impressed by him.

[Atman]

55. What about CONNECTICUT!?

We have Joe Lieberman. He's so bad he cancels out anything good about Dodd. Not that there's anything good about Dodd, either.

.

[Tatiana]

56. I love Tulsa, I love OKC, but sorry, Oklahoma has one of the WORST Senators in America.

Of course, I'm talking about Inhofe.

If you read this brief exerpt from his floor speech given on English as the National Language, (where he claims Bill Clinton, through an executive order created over 200 official languages in the U.S.) you will see what a moron and idiot he truly is.

http://inhofe.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.Speeches&ContentRecord_id=4e6472b7-802a-23ad-46bc-fad0bedc84fb&Region_id=&Issue_id=


"President Bill Clinton created the most radical language policy 6 years ago when he signed Executive Order--E.O.--13166 on August 11, 2000.
E.O. 13166 declared that all recipients of Federal funds had to be ready to provide all services in any language anyone wished to speak at any time.
E.O. 13166 means that while Canada has only two official languages and the United Nations just six, the United States now has over 200 official languages.
Efforts to repeal E.O. 13166 have run aground because of a fundamental misunderstanding of what repeal would mean.
After the debate on my official English amendment, S.A. 4064, to the Senate immigration bill, S. 2611, E.J. Dionne, Jr., told readers of the May 23 Washington Post that he was still going to pray over his children in French. I have only one word to say to Mr. Dionne: relax.
Neither my earlier amendment to the immigration legislation nor the legislation I am introducing today will have any impact whatsoever on the prayers of the Dionne family or, for that matter, a dinner table chat in Spanish or a family discussion in Navajo."

[TwilightGardener]

58. Oklahoma also gets my vote. My state, Nebraska--not the best, not the worst.

[lies and propaganda]

60. wtf Arizona is left out???

Kyl and McCain.. come on! youre killing me!

My senators are totally as shitty as Oklahomas!

[Hippo_Tron]

67. McCain doesn't deny global warming

I'm not sure if Kyl does, but if he does, we don't know about it. Don't get me wrong, your Senators are pretty bad, but they almost sound reasonable compared to Inhofe and Coburn.

[lies and propaganda]

74. Ill give it to you.. yours are nuttier..

Mine are just more evil...

Spent 6 years as a pow and is cool with torture..

[Strawman]

65. Oklahoma by far in terms of pure batshittery

There isn't a remote trace of sanity or moderation in either of them.

[Hippo_Tron]

66. It's kind of a tough call between Georgia and Oklahoma

Coburn has done one good thing and that is co-sponsor the earmark accountability legislation with Obama. Isakson and Chambliss have not done a single good thing between the two of them. On the other hand, Isakson and Chabmliss are both irrelevant backbenchers who just blindly vote with Bush, whereas Inhofe goes on TV and denies global warming and advocates torture. I pick Oklahoma, but it's a close call.

[Xenotime]

68. Texas is awful.

[Ron Green]

71. It's TEXAHOMA!

Four of the very worst, from one region.

[CottonBear]

73. I voted for my GA senators but I'd have to say OK is probably the worst.

It's hard to feel sorry for others when you live in Georgai, but those OK guys make my guys look halfway intelligent. :(

[in_cog_ni_to]

75. THEY ALL SUCK! I just cannot choose one state. sorry.

They're all a bunch of hateful, self absorbed assholes....and the people who put them in office are too!
