Who are the GOP senators amd congressman you want defeated most?
Edited on Sun Oct-19-03 01:41 PM by TakebackAmerica
Mine are Norm Coleman, Saxby Chambliss, George Allen and Jim Talent.
Norm Coleman will be easy to knock off if we have a good nominee.
We need Gov. Mark Warner to run against Allen to beat him.
Talent and Chambliss will be harder to defeat. I hope Cleland exacts some revenge on Chambliss.

1. Yours, plus Rick Santorum
A Gore state should NOT have that Repuke as its Senator.

4. Forget Senators. I'd like to see Rep. Tom DeLay ousted.
That fascist bastard nutcase deserves the boot more than any other current Congressional officeholder. Maybe even more than Bush deserves the boot from the Whitehouse.

Yes, I'm serious. DeLay is pure evil.

7. You know, I have been waiting for a Senate thread
that would allow mention of Representatives as well. Because I agree, there is no one in the Legislative branch that I want to see gone more than Tom DeLay

9. Yep
He deserves nothing less than the boot. If we can get a good nom to run against him that would probably do him in. Of course this IS Texas that we're talking about here! We also need to get someone other than DASCHLE as Senate Minority Leader. Maybe put in either Kerry, Kennedy, or Boxer for that slot. I know that any one of them would do a better job than Daschle is.

11. Boxer would be an excellent leader.
That would scare the sh*t out of the GOP.

5. Mine are:
Santorum, in '06, Spectre, Ted Stevens and Talent. I have heard rumors from the Santorum pukes that they are hoping for a Jeb Bush/Santorum ticket in '08 :puke:

19. Too add a few more:
Kyle in Arizona. Stevens in Alaska (sen. just give all of our natural resources away - and make us subsidize the companies costs to do so). Trent Lott. Orin Hatch.

21. For purely selfish reasons...
... I'd like to see rep. Tim Johnson (IL 15-Neanderthal) defeated. He makes my skin crawl, and is somewhere to the right of Atilla the Hun--- and he's MY Congressman!:puke::grr:

28. He's somewhat moderate
Johnson is against vouchers, against ANWR drilling, for campaign finance reform and he voted against limiting the patient bill of rights. He is much more moderate in comparison to most republican congresmen.

22. Tom Delay and all of his repuke
cohorts. Every Repuke in congress would be ok by me. McCain is not bad but the rest being voted out would make me one happy camper! I can hope, can't I?

23. How about this happy trio
My three nominees, Anne Northrup, John Hostettler and Max Burns.

Anne Northrup- Kentucky 3rd Congressional District 52-48 50-48 Gore
Highly Competitive:

Since her 1996 election, she has survived three Democratic onslaughts. For the 2002 campaign, Democrats recruited Jack Conway. He ran an aggressive campaign against Rep. Northrup. Despite being outspent 2-1, Conway was able to keep this race close throughout. Northrup hammered Conway on his close ties to embattled Governor Paul Patton. On Election Day 2002, she won a narrow victory, 52-48. Her fundraising prowess has helped her hold on to the only Democratic leaning district in Kentucky. This is the only district in Kentucky that Gore carried, and it has a sizeable black and union population. If Democrats put up a strong candidate, they will be in a solid position to reclaim this district.

John Hostettler- Indiana 8th Congressional District 51-46 56-42 Bush
Highly Competitive:

Indiana’s 8th Congressional District was named the “Bloody Eighth” because of its reputation of close elections stemming back to 1984 when Frank McCloskey beat Richard McIntyre by 4 votes, 116,645 to 116,641. This district is the epitome of a swing district. According to the “2002 Almanac of American Politics,” this district at one point during the 1970s elected four congressmen in four successive elections. Since 1994, Rep. Hostettler has survived four close reelection bids. Yet Hostettler has raised a mere $5,018. He is the exact opposite of Northrup, having been out- spent, in two of his last three races. Rep. Hostettler has grown accustom to the close elections in the district. Expect this race to be heavily targeted by Democrats, who have a top notch candidate in Jon Jennings.


Max Burns- Georgia 12th Congressional District 55-45 54-45 Gore
Highly Competitive:

The father of Max Burns’ opponent, State Senate Majority Leader Charles Walker Sr., created this district for his son, much to the dismay of the voters. Rep. Burns was able to use voter dissatisfaction with Democratic redistricting and President Bush’s popularity to his advantage. On Election Day, Charles Walker Jr. and his father were defeated. The perception of Democratic gerrymandering haunted Georgia Democrats that year. This is the only district in Georgia that Al Gore won that is represented by a non black Democrat. Rep. Burns would be extremely vulnerable against a strong well-financed opponent. This predominantly Democratic district is the wrong place for a conservative like Max Burns. Rep. Burns is the weakest Republican incumbent in America.

27. It'll never happen
but I'd like to see Orrin Hatch go back to being a composer. And in my utopia, he'd have to live off his royalties instead of a congressional pension.

Even more than Hatch, I'd like to see the crabby old do-nothing party switcher Ben Nighthorse Campbell go down.
