Which state has the worst pair of Senators?

I live in Texas and my Senators are just awful, but those bozos from Oklahoma are hard to top.....

lott and cochran, two champions of not much.

Easy to jump on Mississippi, of course, but you're entitled. Not that I'm a fan of Trent and Thad, but I just get tired of yankees beating up on us down here. There are plenty of other candidates, including my former state, Kentucky!

I think when such a question is asked, one should look first in their own back yard. And I certainly do not believe Mississippi would be number one on this list. Upon reflection probably not in the top ten. And cochran is damned near the invisible man. I often find lott an embarrassment though, but I guess he is not as embarrassing as those yahoos from Texas and Oklahoma and Alaska.

We've gotten a ton of rain the last two weeks. I've had to time my lawn mowing judiciously.

I have GRASS again! Yesterday was the first "dry" day in two weeks or more so I got out and mowed. It was darn near knee deep! I'm NOT complaining however! Maybe we're about to catch up on the YTD rainfall deficit.

Hutchison can't compete with either Lott and Cochran or Inhofe and Coburn. Honorable Mention for South Carolina.

Who could beat their collective sliminess?

competition in 2008.

I will be asking DU for help in unseating McConnell. We need to send him back to his beloved private sector.

There are some well-off, well-connected people in Louisville who played a BIG part in unseating Northup and they now have set their sights on Gov Fletcher and McConnell. I can't wait to see them both stomped!

I've known Howdy Doody since he was County Judge-Executive in Jefferson County! I actually played music for one of his campaign events d couple of decades ago (at least I took a good chuck of change from it ...) but I still feel dirty from it.

...and his beard...I mean wife, Elaine. Yeah, he's a slimy, pinched-nosed, spineless whore from way back.

Dole and Burr.

can't worse than that. :puke:

Ours is the darkest combo for sure.

They suck so bad, they could pull a vacuum on an onion bag.

Roberts & Brownback do NOT represent me.

Don't get me wrong I think he's certifiably insane and not fit to be dog catcher, let alone Senator or President, but he's better than a lot of other Republicans on issues of human rights. He's also against the death penalty.

Both of those men are delusional... and apparently proud of it.

Kansas though does give you a run for the money with Brownback & Roberts.

Though I think Mississippi would rank way up there.

:puke:

No state has two bigger losers than Texas.

We have John "Bush can do no wrong" Cornyn and Kay Bailey "I was a cheerleader too!" Hutchinson. Hutchinson won reelection last November on the platform that we need a change of course in Iraq.

Doesn't really matter who the other guy is, any two-man team that clown Inhofe is on will get dragged down to the gutter. How someone who is that fundamentally ignorant of science won an election is baffling.

That was...hands-down the most breathtakingly ignorant statement I've heard in weeks.

Red state hell.

Alabama doesn't have much braggin' room either.

Ditto Kentucky. Scratch that. Kentucky only has one Senator. And he's a party hack despite his leadership role. Kentucky's other senator doesn't even know he's a senator.

How can it get any worse than Saxby "Fuck you, Cleland!" Chambliss and Johnny I-suck-son?

Not only are they wingnuts, they don't even have the courage of their convictions, having both supported Bush's immigration bill and then immediately folding on it as soon as some of their constituents started saying nasty things about them.

Awful, awful people. The best argument I can muster for eliminating the Senate altogether via Constitutional amendment. Seriously, why do we have this embarrassing, anti-democratic, unrepresentational holdover from Imperial Rome (with a bit of the House o' Lords thrown in for good measure), anyway?

need we say more?

Specter has caused immeasurable damage by giving the pukes some "moderate" cover, though he has done nothing positive in all his years.

Casey is a DINO, voting against Democratic interests at every turn.

Sure, they are not the knuckle-dragging assholes like the other nominees. But, they do just as much damage to democracy.

But I haven't seen Casey vote against Democratic legislation except for Stem Cell Research.

Texas' oil industry has not yet recovered from the 1986 oil "crash," in spite of record oil prices.

So who's oil industry do Cornyn and Hutchison support? Alaska's!
Yes, I wish Texas had some Senate representation.

Jim "Flat Earth" Inhofe and Tom "rampant lesbianism in schools" Coburn.

Allard is a complete wacko, and I can't WAIT to see him hang up his Senatorial pants and stop "representing me."

As for Salazar... Sometimes i don't know what to think. There have been a number of instances in which he has voted for something that I have completely agreed with, and there have been some things that make me wonder what the hell he's thinking (one of those was the infamous Military Commissions Act of 2006 - I still haven't forgiven him for that.)

It's nice to have one Dem representing my state in the Senate, but he's kind of iffy.

Darn if Corker doesn't scare me as much as Frist.

What now? We have the worst. Cornyn and Hutchinson. Cornyn is up for re election in 2008 and his headquarters in Dallas are within walking distance. Cornyn must be relieved.

Good Lord - we've got lyndsey graham. He likes to impeach Clinton for lies about sex but is ok with Scooter skating. He fakes outrage at torture news, promises answers and accountability, and you never hear any more. He was soooo happy about buying three rugs in Baghdad - a city we bombed the hell out of for lies - and stood with John McCain - dissolving right before our eyes - and bragged in flack jackets how great things were going - almost six years in - in securing fucking Baghdad.


He's a piece of work.

in NC

Saxby and Isackson!!!!!

...what a couple of tools.

It's absolutely disgusting the way Chambliss slimed and smeared his way into that Senate seat.

Please Georgia, now is your chance to rise up and rid yourselves of this bastard.

:P

sometimes feinstein makes me frown, but boxer turns that frown upside-down! :D

again?

for abortions?

hoax, I think Oklahoma has to be the winner.

Could that be who you were thinking of?

John Cornyn R-TX, as mentioned below is your box turtle man. What I think he actually said was gay marriage was like someone marrying a box turtle. Yes, he really is that stupid and that big of an ass at the same time. Amazing, isn't it?

The women who get abortions are "victimized" by the "abortion industry" and as such not really capable or culpable in making the choice- which, of course, they consider murder, because life begins at the second of conception, and fertilized eggs need to be granted "rights" under the 14th amendment.

Of course, they don't also mention the fact that they have a broad anti-contraception agenda, and the HLA plank in the GOP platform combined with the major "pro life" groups own core beliefs about the pill (that it is morally equivalent to an abortion) would necessitate the criminalization of all oral contraceptives, as well.

The bottom line is, if a fertilized egg has "rights", it's not going to matter if the person who "kills" it is a doctor-- or a woman swallowing a pill. At the very least, the woman involved will be an accomplice. It doesn't matter to the pro-lifers that it's her body.

Get it? Under their black-and-white thinking, once a fertilized egg is declared a "baby" from conception onward, there won't be any distinction made between doctors who perform abortions, women who get them, and women who take the pill. They will ALL need to get the death penalty. Trying to soft-pedal that lunacy as "reasonably" saying "only" abortion doctors will be prosecuted (or put to death) is just another right-wing lie that doesn't hold up under logical scrutiny.

I got it before. I know what their twisted thinking and ultimate agenda is. I was just trying to help you find the senator who said that and felt Coburn's words might have been what you were referring to.

Any way you slice it, he's a nut. :crazy:

Texans have VERY low (no) standards when it comes to politicians.

that Inhofe and Coburn are undoubtably the worst pair of pseudo-legislators to don the title (Don Nickles was a hack too!!)

Durbin and Obama.

Not too bad at all.

Salazar is a huge disappointment to me. As a delegate in 04, I remember him having to address the Denver Dems and promise he wouldn't switch to GOP.

Turns out he and his brother just vote with republicans most of the time and keep the (D) behind their titles.

Allard is lame duck, hates his job, can't wait to leave.
