Ok...who here actually likes their congressperson?

[Ardent15]

I have a very principled progressive congresswoman in Anna Eshoo.

[billyoc]

1. Jerold Nadler, I like him.

[hobbit709]

2. Lloyd Doggett here

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Keith Ellison!

:loveya:

[rurallib]

4. Dave Loebsack here and I will give him a pretty high grade

next district north is Bruce Braley. I love Bruce Braley

[Burma Jones]

5. I am more than satisfied with Chris Van Hollen

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Van_Hollen

[havocmom]

6. Denny Rehberg? If his hair were on fire, I am not sure I would spit on him.

Might toss some dirt his way, though.

[catzies]

7. Lucky you, mine is a toadstool but I'm in between a couple of good ones

Lois Capps to the north, Henry Waxman to the south. But mine is worthless.

[Ardent15]

19. Gallegly?

[blueinindiana]

8. No too much I have blue dog DINO

I hate Dinos but its either that or a fake Christian / nazi republican only two types that ever get voted in here.

[Matariki]

9. Lucky to have Jim McDermott n/t

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

10. lovin' me some Jan Schakowsky

But for Blago, she would be our Senator.

[surrealAmerican]

88. I'm in the same district.

I'm also happy to have her represent us.

[RandiFan1290]

11. Robert Wexler, he's not too bad. n/t

:)

[DJ13]

12. Feinstein....yech

Too DINO for me.

Never has any real competition in the primaries, and against Republicans in November she always has an easy time of it so Im stuck with her.

[lunatica]

23. Feinstein is a Senator n/t

[DJ13]

48. Congress is both the House and the Senate

So when the OP said "Congressperson" it could mean either.

[lunatica]

84. I stand corrected. And I agree that Feinstein is bad

[Hekate]

13. Lois Capps, a terrific gal who really gets it. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. mine are wunderful

[FiveGoodMen]

15. Betty McCollum's pretty good.

[Atman]

16. Connecticut 2's Joe Courtney is a good man

I met him at my office before the 08 election, shooting a campaign commercial. Between takes, he hung out with the art department, not just his peeps. He talked issues with us like a reg'lar guy...a very bright, informed, reg'lar guy. And unlike the Senator who disgraced our state, Courtney votes for his constituency, not for himself.

So, yes, I like my Congressperson.

.

[tabbycat31]

17. Frank Pallone

introduced the SCHIP bill. Not so shabby.

[Skidmore]

18. Boswell pisses me off regularly.

Freaking Blue Dog.

[lunatica]

20. Barbara Lee speaks for me!!!!!

[annabanana]

85. Barbara Lee speaks for all of us.

You are a lucky lunatica!

[Oceansaway]

21. Phil Hare, he's new but great !!..IL. 17th...n/t

[Bluzmann57]

65. Yeah. Phil Hare is good.

Trained by Lane Evans and he (Hare) learned well.

[liberal N proud]

22. Betty Sutton

Yeah

[kooljerk666]

24. Jim Gerlach -R PA-6th

he sucks, AIPAC toadie & friend of big business & developers.

[Cleita]

25. I used to when I had Lois Capps. Then I got

gerrymandered into Bill Thomas's district, the worst Repuke of the Repukes. Now his idiot protege Kevin McCarthy is my Congressman. :puke:

[Bluebear]

26. Carol Shea-Porter, love her. nt

[hlthe2b]

27. Dianna DeGette--love her!

[baldguy]

28. Louise Slaughter, NY-28

Love Louise!

[Spike89]

29. Pete Defazzio, lucky to have him

Principals and a strong progressive foundation. Just a bonus that he's smart and likeable.

[sense]

39. I second Peter Defazio!

Principled and ethical.

[Shakespeare]

30. Henry Waxman. Check.

Very happy to vote for him every two years.

[Kittycat]

31. Foster is a god send compared to Hastert

Hard to complain right now.

[Wickerman]

32. Tim Walz

and I respect him mightily.

Don't always agree, but I usually know he voted as he does and find his reasoning hard to argue against.

[RiffRandell]

33. Not me.

John Linder.

[Ardent15]

43. Oh god, you have that asshole?

[RiffRandell]

61. Yeah, along with Chambliss and Isakson as my sens

it's totally embarrassing.

[crazylikafox]

34. Elijah Cummings here in Maryland. He's been great.

[ellie]

35. YES! Marcy Kaptur!

She rocks.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

41. I like yours, too!

[rucky]

36. Boehner's good for a few laughs.

and nothing more.

[Ardent15]

42. I'm sorry...

[MikeE]

37. Eleanor Holmes Norton!

She rocks! She doesn't have a vote, (remember, DC is the last colony), but she's still great.

[kestrel91316]

38. Brad Sherman in CA. An ok guy.

[scarletwoman]

40. Jim Oberstar -- generally a pretty good guy.

I don't always agree with him, but he usually does right by his constituents.

sw

[GoldenOldie]

45. Gabriel Gifford -----Great

But, then she has to makeup for the two asshole,Senators from Arizona, Kyl and McCain. When at home she is a non-stop dynamo, visiting each and every city and town within her district talking personally with her constituents.

[Duer 157099]

44. Lynn Woolsey - what's not to like?

I'm lucky, I know.

[JohnnyLib2]

46. Yarmuth from Louisville

Well, that's the district next to ours, so we claim him.

[obiwan]

47. Grace Napolitano is OK by me.

[ogneopasno]

49. Mine is Jim Oberstar, DFL-Fighting Eight of Minnesota. He's an absolute treasure for our region.

[Bobcat]

50. Congresscritter

Not me - Iowa district 4 - Tom Latham.

[beyurslf]

51. Todd Tiahrt. One of the worst in bunch.

[Ardent15]

52. What's worse, he's probably gonna become a Senator

[beyurslf]

55. We must not think this way. I hold out hope that our great Gov will run.

[KamaAina]

53. Neil Abercrombie!

I've even been in his office once or twice.

In 2004, our agency had a table at the NAACP MLK dinner (no, it was not held in a phone booth :P ), and Abercrombie was the speaker. Like they say about blues singers, "he chewed up the stage and spit out the splinters"! Since this was early 2004, I kept thinking, "Get this guy on a plane to New Hampshire pronto!"

Then I thought, "Naaaaah. No way we'll ever have a President from Hawai'i..."

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

54. I have Ernest Scott Garrett.

Wingnuttiest repuke out there. Tits on a boar hog, that boy.

[neverforget]

56. Earl Blumenauer is a great congressman.

http://blumenauer.house.gov/

[Bobbieo]

58. Raul Grijalva from Tucson is the greatest!

[MH1]

57. I really, really like my congressman, Joe Sestak (PA-7)

I don't always agree with him, but he works his ass off and he's a good man. He really makes an effort to listen to his constituents - ALL of his constituents (which sometimes makes some progressives unhappy).

It's also been kind of fun to watch him grow in the job, since I was at one of his first campaign appearances of his first campaign (2006).

[devilgrrl]

59. Mine is Henry Waxman. What's not to like?

eom

[madrchsod]

60. foster seems to be doing ok....

local state rep is a good guy even though he`s a republican

[AlCzervik]

62. Mine is terrible, i have Lungren.

[Ardent15]

63. I supported Durston

[AlCzervik]

66. me too, i also volunteered. We'll get him next time.

[Bluzmann57]

64. Bruce Braley. I like him.

He was wishy washy on the impeachment issue, but I agree with him on everything else. Iowa's first district is represented well by him.

[jannyk]

67. Honored to be in Barbara Lee's District!!! nt

[gauguin57]

68. Ugh. Joseph Pitts (R-PA). Neocon extraordinaire. Kneejerk neocon, to boot.

NEVER NEVER NEVER votes as I would want him to.

Never.

And no matter how we Dems try (here in the "red T" -- the "Alabama" -- of Pennsylvania) ... we can't get rid of him. He's like the Andromeda Strain.

[TayTay]

69. I love Niki Tsongas.

Great Congresswoman, very dedicated.

[leftyclimber]

70. When I had Peter DeFazio I sure did.

Now I have Alan Mollohan. Ugh.

[librechik]

71. Diane Degette is teh awesome

Thanks, Diane!

[wellstone dem]

72. I weep. My non-representative is Michelle Bachmann

Why o why did I have to see this post.

[Ardent15]

77. I'm so sorry, that's terrible to hear

[Marrah_G]

73. I do- Jim McGovern

[sniffa]

74. I love Delahunt

I got to shake his hand and have a brief exchange with him at the Obama rally the night before Super Tuesday.

:bounce:

[Raine]

75. Jane Harman

she's better than the rePUKE losers I've had before like B-1 Bob Dornan and Kuykendal(sp?) and she's officially a Democrat.

[CreekDog]

76. I like Jackie Speier (Hi Neighbor!)

:hi:

[Ardent15]

78. Hello there!

[ReliantJ]

83. x2

[Starry Messenger]

79. I just moved from Barbara Lee's district to Jackie Speier's district.

They are both great and I love them.

[CreekDog]

82. .

[readmoreoften]

80. Lloyd Doggett. I like him plenty.

[Stinky The Clown]

81. I love mine ...... Elijah Cummings

If you can believe it, before redistricting, I had Roscoe Bartlett. Blech.

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

86. Jim McGovern.

He's a good Congresscritter. Very progressive, particularly when it comes to labor matters.

[Mari333]

87. not me, Its Fred Upton (R)

cannot seem to get rid of him.

[WhiteTara]

89. Mike Thompson we're turning him progressive n/t

[AllieB]

90. Niki Tsongas (D)

Pretty good so far.

[mentalsolstice]

91. Artur Davis here. He's okay.

I don't agree with him on everything. Might not be my rep much longer, as he has expressed his interest in running for governor. Chances are he'll be replaced by another Dem., as this district has been for as long as I can remember (yes, we do have Dems in AL).

[bhcodem]

92. Bruce Braley

I'd better like him since I spent a lot of time and money to help him get to where he is today.

[Touchdown]

93. Diana DeGette. I love her!

She's just as liberal as Pat Schroeder, her predecessor. She's just not nearly as painful to watch.:rofl:

[BlueGirlRedState]

94. Chet Edwards

I just moved to Waco, so I admit I don't know a whole lot about him but he's a Democrat from Waco! What's not to like?

[NorthernSpy]

95. Mike Michaud -- he's actually pretty good...

:)


... despite associating himself with the "Blue Dogs".

:puke:
