[Tx4obama]

Seems like we have are more and more strong Democrats speaking out and not backing down these days.

My some of my favorite ballsy congress folks include:

Alan Grayson
Anthony Weiner
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
Claire McCaskill
Barney Frank
Al Franken

Who's on YOUR list?

[BlooInBloo]

1. Feingold (or did you just mean house?)

[Taverner]

2. Rep Pete Stark

The man has cojones!!!

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

3. Peter deFazio

Check his record, the guy kicks ass, and always has.

[BrklynLiberal]

4. Bernie Sanders, Jerrold Nadler - my rep :D - in addition to the ones you listed

[Ezlivin]

5. Tom Delay

Okay, he's not my "favorite" by any means, but he has the largest set of balls on this planet.

How many Democrats would have the balls to go on to "Dancing with the Stars" while facing indictment?

I do wish him ill, though.

11. add to that - he can't dance worth a twit

More guts than I would have with that lack of talent.

[Brother Buzz]

6. Henry Waxman (D - CA)

[blm]

7. The ones with the nerve big enough to uncover the CORRUPTION of the REALLY powerful

elite who rule this world. John Kerry, Henry Gonzalez (RIP), Don Reigle were the three who uncovered more government corruption the last 4 decades than all the rest of congress put together.

But....imo, those who go after the truly corrupt will NEVER be given any due because the corpmedia has long been encouraged to ignore the truthseekers....and...to take any opportunity at hand to target them.

8. DK

[Junkdrawer]

9. Dennis Kuchinich n/t

[DrDan]

10. I like your list - and as a Floridian am particularly pleased with W-S

She received a lot of bad press here during the primaries.

16. Try naming those who have taken on the powerful in ways that changed HISTORY

or impacted the historic record of this nation.

THAT is what separates REAL courageous actions from dramatic rhetoric, though the dramatic rhetoric can definitely be more entertaining than the plodding, every day diligence of serious investigations.
