Bitch about Your Congressional Representative Here!

Poll question: Bitch about Your Congressional Representative Here!

Please rate your congress person. Note who your congressperson is what party they (officially) represent as well as the state.
My congressman is Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland's sixth District. He rates an "E" Bushbot repuke for his parroting of Dubya's SS b.s. and his Moonie pandering. ABB 2006! (Anybody But Bartlett).

[havocmom]

1. I would be better represented by a piece of toast, pastey white bread

toast, sitting cold and soggy from its own steam than that mealy mouth, spineless dip-shit, Dennis Rehberg. Lucky me, Montana only has ONE Congressional Rep.

[latteromden]

2. I don't particularly like him, but he's polite and moderate on some issues

Jim Ramstad gets a D, or maybe a D+, because he's historically been very nice to me, even though I'm a hardcore Democrat that worked for his opponent. *shrug*

[Maat]

3. Mine's Issa - who funded the Davis recall out here in Cal.

Then bowed out out of the race when Rove most probably told him too, while they carried out their vile plans for my beloved California. Backed by the radical religious right.

But ... the good news is that ... my Senator is Barbara Boxer.

[elshiva]

5. Yucky! Worse than Bartlett,

cos he brought you Arnold. At least there's Boxer...

[Maat]

22. Feel sorry for me, DUers!

n/t

[elshiva]

35. Why, Maat?

Have you got Bartlett, too? I miss you Maat.

[Maat]

42. Take care, Elshiva!

I'm just a talkin' about being in the district of Darrell Issa, Republican supported by the hard right.

But, other than that, life is good!

I will be able to post more after I get done taking the California Bar Test.

Good night, All!

[elshiva]

43. Good luck, Maat.

Dear God,
Please help Maat
to realize that she can
and will
pass the Bar. Amen.

[Maat]

63. Bless you!

Thanks. I'll be a-postin' afterwards.

[blondeatlast]

57. Sorry--mine's Shadegg. I can't spare any sympathy. nt

[coloradodem2005]

4. Mine's Tancredo.

He doesn't fit into any of your categories. He is very RW, but is always at loggerheads with Bush because of immigration policy. He is a Republican.

[autorank]

6. Jim Moran, D, VA, 8th District. EXCELLENT DEMOCRAT

We're happy with him. His district goes from Reston through McLean and Arlington to Alexandria, the most liberal part of the state. He won with about 70% of the vote. He's solid and on Pelosi's team. He beat a Republican named Mary Cheney (no relation to the dickster) last time. He'll win forever. Our next task in Northern Virginia is to unseat Tom Davis, R, a so-called "moderate" Republican who votes DeLay.

[elshiva]

14. Is this the same Moran,

who said Anti-Semitic things, which is immortalized in the DUer word "Morans?"

[autorank]

28. He did make highly inappropriate and inaccurate remarks about

"Jewish" support for the Iraq War. He confused the American Jewish community in general with the Neocons. He got a ration of grief from people everywhere, particularly in his district. He apologized, made amends, and has not said this again. Had he continued in this vein, even one more comment, he would have lost in the primary. As it was, I don't think his opponent got more than 30% of the vote. I was very upset with him when he made the remarks but I was impressed with his actions afterwords and his ability to just drop this altogether. Other than that serious error, he's been a solid Democrat for years.

[elshiva]

34. Good to hear! Thank you, autorank.

Raised eyebrows among Jewish relatives, but didn't hear the follow-up. I like a person who can admit mistakes and make amends. Good for Moran. Kerry and Dean do it, but Dubya can't which makes him an idiot.

[autorank]

40. He's a hot head but when focused, he's a great advocate and fighter.

His district is very liberal, not just by Virginia standards. He was deluged with input and urgings to correct this and apologize. As I said, his fault tolerance was about zero and he behaved. To tell the truth, the reason I like him is due to the fact that prior to this election, Tom Davis was my Rep., a total hypocrite.

[DaveinMD]

85. not only an anti semite, but voted for NAFTA

not a great one in my book.

[DaveinMD]

86. deleted

self delete

[Mitt Chovick]

91. And you can google to find more distasteful things about Moran

basically I think it's the Evil Dewars fault :-)

[DaveinMD]

92. in his defense

sometimes he means well, but he puts his foot in his mouth.

I was at an NAACP dinner and he was talking about Slavery and the state of Virginia. He meant to pay homage to those who were slaves. But he said something about how much slavery contributed to the Virginia economy. It was uncomfortable and weird.

[Idioteque]

7. Bill Young...yuck!

This guy has been in congress for like 38 years or something. Our district has a small Democratic majority. After this guy retires or kicks the bucket, we can win take the seat. Until then, we are stuck with him.

[RealDems]

8. I used to have Bartlett, but thanks to redistricting....

I now have Elijah Cummings. Nothing to complain about now, I love my Congressman.

[elshiva]

11. Lucky you. Cummings is cool.

[DaveinMD]

93. Cummings

is an amazing guy. The passion with which he speaks is amazing. YOu can tell how much he really cares and that he's in politics for the right reasons.

[donheld]

9. Denver's Diana Degette is a good Democrat

but she'll never be as hot as Howard Dean in your pic

[elshiva]

12. LOL. Who is?

[donheld]

19. That is a young Howard Dean

[rawtribe]

10. From the depths of Hell

Marilyn Musgrave

:evilfrown:

[KarenS]

15. She's ours too,,,,, It makes me sick to my stomach,,,,,

I cannot believe that she was re-elected.

[rawtribe]

18. Hi neighbor....

We'll get her next time!

:hi:

[blondeatlast]

58. I think you beat even me, so here ya go:

:toast:

Mine's Sahdegg, and yours manages to be even worse than mine. That takes some intense effort on her part. May God have mercy on your district.

[Clarkie1]

13. Pombo, 11th Congressional District CA; sucks

I worked to unseat him in 2004. Will again in 2006. He's like a Bush clone, chairs house Natural Resources committee.

[AuntiBush]

16. Senators Sarbanes & Mikulski

For standing-up big-time from everything to Voter Fraud, to Social Security "not in a crisis," to "women's and the disabled's rights"! Especially in the last several weeks. I'm very proud of them.

[elshiva]

21. Yep, I'm a Marylander and proud of my Senators, too!

Who is your Congressperson (I think they are all men in MD really, out of the loop), AuntiBush? One of the better MD Reps is Ben Cardin who has been crusading against Bush's SS b.s., going around giving public talks about it in his constinuency. I think my congressman Bartlett is MD's worst.

[AuntiBush]

31. Sarbanes on the Hill.

Senator Stone, Jr in my 6th district. But, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Mikulski, growing-up in Highlandtown. She's small, but get out of her way when it comes to certain humanity-type issues.

We are fortunate I suppose. Except, we live a bit too close to 495 if you ask me.

Just the same, :hi: neighbor!

[elshiva]

36. Mikulski is a true Baltimoron, a real winner.

Hiya to you too, neighbor!

[blondeatlast]

59. Mikulski, my hero! I'll give you 10 Kyls for her;

it's the best I can do. :cry:

[elshiva]

81. 10 Kyls? How much is that?

Sorry, she belongs to the people of MD.

[iwantmycountryback]

17. Sue Kelly R-NY

I guess she's somewhat moderate but still enough of a Republican to annoy me. Of all the Democratic representatives of NY I have to get a repuke.

[DemGirl7]

76. I used to be represented by Kelly, but now Hinchey is my Rep.

since they redistricted in 2002. And I like Maurice Hinchey, I believe he was one of the Democrats that voted for looking into voting fraud in Ohio.

[Spiffarino]

20. NC 11 - Chainsaw Charlie Taylor

A completely evil prick bastard. There aren't enough adjectives to describe this miserable fiend. In fact, I can't even stand to think about him. Just go look at his voting record.

[rwenos]

23. It's Blue, Baby

Jane Harman in the House, Boxer and Feinstein in the Senate.

It's disheartening sometimes, to see the Dem share of the California delegation get bigger, but it's never enough to take control.

Hard not to detest the red state Pubbie scum when one watches this, election in and election out.

[dorktv]

24. Mine is the Icky JD Hayworth.

ewwww!

[blondeatlast]

60. Take heart in the fight you gave him, sister! She got an impressive

100,000 votes--in Arizona, against the incumbent, with virtually NO party support.

(Call me when you need your horn tooted, dorktv!)

I forgot in the AZ delegation that even Shadegg could be beaten in the worst category.

Egads, even with our very respectable Dems, I think we may very well have the worst state congress critters there are.

[dorktv]

89. You know...I posted a question on who is going to run against

their icky congressperson and NO one wanted to. Oy vy!

[blondeatlast]

99. I'd almost do it, but I've had a serious health setback.

I'm okay now, but I don't think I have the physical "what it takes."

[blueblitzkrieg]

25. Heather Wilson - R

She sucks.



What a dope!

[dorktv]

26. Are you over 25? Run against her!

[blueblitzkrieg]

29. Nope, 21.

Don't think I have the qualifications yet. Maybe in a couple years!

[dorktv]

30. This gives you the time you need to get really well known!

[ginnyinWI]

27. Sensenbrenner.

Need I say more. :spank:

[mark414]

61. second on Sensenbrenner

*sigh*

i need to move back to the city QUICK so i can claim gwen moore as my own...

[ZombieNixon]

32. Tom Udall,

New Mexico's 3rd district, a great Democrat, though with a tendency to believe that Repukes play by the rules. Otherwise, he's a great guy and liked well enough to carry heavily Republican San Juan County by 3 votes (count 'em, one-two-three) against an opponent who was the local DA.

[blondeatlast]

62. Is he from the famed Udall family? Morris, Stewart, etc?

A rare breed who believes everyone is good at heart, and true progressives in every sense of the word.

[ZombieNixon]

74. Yep, that's him.

Cousin Mark's a rep from CO, too.

[fnottr]

88. could you guys clone him and send him down to district one

I suppose Heather Wilson's one step above your average neo-con puke, but I still really really want to see her go.

[ComerPerro]

33. No complaints in the IL 8th.

We finally got rid of Phil Crane.

http://www.house.gov/bean/

[kcass1954]

37. Clay Shaw, R-FL

What a piece of shit!!!

[sacxtra]

38. rating "F" - in Sacramento Matsui Died. Vote Doris?

Since Matsui Died. It's kind of hard to rate. Were supposed to have a *SPECIAL ELECTION* on March 8th for the 5th Congressional District.

Should we vote for Doris? Can she get the flood control finished?

Will our vote count now that we have no Secretary of State and we still have electronic voting machines?

Will the vote be manipulated and a Republican take Matsui's and Shelly's place.

Sacramento and American rivers are an accident waiting to happen. I even heard now they say we don't need flood control insurance. Yet the flood protection has yet to be finished. Bush Cut it. Like everything else he's decimating, he's ruining the Army Corps of Engineers also!

Damn, every night we sleep, they neoCon Death cult get's their hands in more and more things.

[MAlibdem]

39. MA 09 - Joe Moakley's old seat, now Lynch (D)

He's prolife, but generally votes in line with the rest of the MA caucus. Good old union man.

[TayTay]

53. Mine's Marty Meehan (5th)

He's a good man and I usually find myself agreeing with him.

And Kennedy and Kerry and I think they are both great. (They have been doing a great job this year on the votes in the Senate. I m very happy with them both.)

[Stinky The Clown]

41. Elijiah Cummings

Like poster #8, I used to be in Roscoe's district until the redistricting put me in good shape again.

Bartlett's a fucking tool. But he is also emblematic of the fact that supposedly "blue" Maryland just ain't so blue. Get out of the cities and close-in 'burbs and its pretty red out there.

[elshiva]

44. You said it.

Monkton, MD where I live is rural turning surburban red. Don't think a Dem has a chance her, but I'll vote for anyone who runs against Bartlett.

[Hippo_Tron]

45. Louisiana 1st - Bobby Jindal

But we have a history of lower life forms representing this district. Bob Livingston to name one of them.

[Gemini Cat]

46. Mike Pence. Asshat. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

47. Don Young, Republican Congressman for All Alaska

Actually voted AGAINST that homeland security bill the other day, one of only eight Republicans, I think, by which I was quite pleasantly surprised. He's a Republican, all right, but pretty independent-minded, so he could be worse.

[union_maid]

48. Steve Israel

Good Democrat.

[Zen Democrat]

49. No category for Ron Paul.

[chicagojoe]

50. Dennis Hastert. Need I say more?

[elshiva]

82. Nope.

My apologies, he's worse then Bartlett, if only because he's more powerful.

[Hippo_Tron]

97. At least your district gets tons of pork

And besides...

Hastert is the face, Hammer is the brain.

[chicagojoe]

98. He uses his muscle to get corporate welfare

for businesses here more than bringing home the pork.

[LdyGuique]

51. Alaska has only 1 congressman -- Don Young

As far as I can tell, Don Young is close to useless other than as a "me-too" for the Repugs and adding his own pork to the Stevens' barrel, including an absolutely unnecessary bridge down in Ketchikan -- a bridge that no resident believes is necessary. As far as I inow, he's never taken a stance basced on ethics or beliefs -- just brings enough pork home to keep the ppl happy. But, then I'm new to the state -- I see another Alaskan posted a better review than I did :) She's prolly been a longer term resident.

[Blue_In_AK]

90. Hi Lady Gique ...

Yes, I've been here since 1975, and I pretty much agree with you on Don Young's record, but I see him as fairly harmless, not a rabid neocon or anything, and, as I said, I was very pleasantly surprised that he voted against that bill last week about the homeland security stuff at the borders. It would sure be nice if we could get some decent democrats to run for his spot ... we haven't had a Democratic congressperson since 1980, when Mike Gravel left.

ed.... oops, sorry I misspelled your name.

[LdyGuique]

95. Hello Blue_in_AK

Nice to meetcha. Well, my spelling is unique and has allowed me to maintain a unique presence online; however, I don't take its spelling "personal." :)

Politics in Alaska are somewhat different than in other states due to a range of issues that are substantally different than elsewhere. We're nearly a 3rd world nation in terms of being so far outside of the lower 48 in so many ways. Politicians up here have been a major player in picking up as big of a piece of the budget pie as possible so that Alaska can grow and develop.

[FreeStateDemocrat]

52. Taxation without representation. Total Chimp whore.

Roscoe Bartlett has not had an original thought in his life. He votes completely down the line with the idiot. Cheney even showed up for his fundraiser in god forsaken Hagerstown, MD, the warehouse capital of Maryland. This guy would definitely vote to re-institute slavery.

[elshiva]

83. Look in the dictionary under Bushbot Repuke

you get this photograph:

Roscoe Bartlett is working for you...,
pResident Bush.

[terrya]

54. Mine - Rep Jan Schakowsky D-Il 9th Congressional District

And I'm proud to have her representing me in Congress. She serves her predominantly liberal North Side well, she's attuned to her constituents's needs and she's a tireless, committed champion of liberal Democrats.

http://www.house.gov/schakowsky/contact.html

[SCDem]

55. SC - Congressman Spratt 5th District

He has tremendous knowledge about the deficit and budget and understands why the DNC needs Dean. I couldn't be happier with him.

[blondeatlast]

56. Steaming pile of poop. John Shadegg; Arizona: 3rd.

Had you had an even lower category, I would have chosen it.

[LibDemAlways]

64. I'm stuck with a shithead named

Elton Gallagly, former mayor of Simi Valley and all around asshole. He's a brainless freeptard who never met a chimp proposal he wasn't completely in favor of. The idiot wins every time with the same 65% of the vote he gets from repukes and Dems who aren't paying attention. His seat is considered "safe."

Up until a couple of years ago I was represented by a moderate Dem named Brad Sherman - no great shakes, but not nearly as bad as Gallagly. I've now been redistricted into freepville.

[skeeters]

65. Jesse Jackson Jr.

No bitch here. Couldn't ask for a better Congressman. And he actually fought for those that were hassled trying to vote in Ohio, go figure. Rumors are he may be challenging Daley as Mayor. That is a win, win. Daley is ok, having some problems lately. But he is no Harold Washington.

[suegeo]

66. Norm Coleman, Tuna Sandwich

And Jim Ramstad, NOT a republican in name only.

[nickinSTL]

67. Wm. Lacy Clay (D-MO)

1st Congressional District, Missouri - St. Louis

I've been pretty happy with Clay.

Voted with the 31 Reps and Barbara Boxer to protest the Ohio electors.

[ewagner]

68. Dave Obey!

That's why voted GREAT DEMOCRAT!!!!!

[KamaAina]

69. Not easy, but I'll try: Why won't Neil Abercrombie run for President?

(D-HI 1st) The first time I saw Neil speak was at a Martin Luther King dinner in Jan. '04, right before New Hampshire. He was just smoking hot -- unlike most of the Dem primary candidates. I thought, "Why can't we get this guy on a plane to New Hampshire tonight?"

Abercrombie was among the very first elected officials to back Dean's candidacy.

Substantive bitch: He actually supports the "ADA Notification Act", which would give business yet another way to weasel out of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's backed by the tourism industry, you see...

[Suziq]

70. Mike Ferguson . . .

7th congressional district, New Jersey.

A complete Bushbot Repuke! We are trying very hard to say bye, bye to Mike in 2006.


:hippie:

[WMliberal]

71. Virginia 4th District. Forbes (R- Religiously Insane).

:puke: Phyllis Schlafly sure loves him!
http://www.eagleforum.org/Scoreboard/108-2/VA-index.html

GACK! He's rated even more religiously insane than Cantor!

[Spirochete]

72. Brian Baird

he has been pretty consistent in opposing all things Bush, so he's all right.

[Technowitch]

73. Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) -- and she is WONDERFUL!

I could hardly ask for a better representative.

[dogman]

75. Hastert

'Nuff said?:puke:

[rodeodance]

77. Tammy Baldwin, WI--one of few openly lesbians in the House and she

is GREAT--of course she is a Democrat:-)

[elshiva]

84. Tammy Baldwin is the greatest.

I'm so proud of her!

[CatholicEdHead]

78. Gil Gutknecht

compared to others, he is somewhat moderate.



Norm Coleman for Senator stinks.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

79. Mel Watt (D-NC 12th district).

One of the good guys.

[journalist3072]

80. I have no Representative to B*tch About

I live in the District of Columbia, which as you all probably know does not have adequate representation in the Congress.

I have no Representative to b*tch about. So instead, I'll b*tch about the fact that I have no Representative to b*tch about.

[DaveinMD]

87. Albert Wynn MD-4

He's a good Democrat.

[elshiva]

94. MD Democrats are the best!

Some liberal group once rated Sarbanes the most liberal Senator (currently)! Forget which group unfortunately, but it was posted on DU to say that Kerry WAS NOT the "number one liberal senator" as Dubya said.

[muse]

96. Well, hell, I win. Mine is Tom DeLay.

Bastard.
