Which politician would you most like to see exit the U.S. political scene?

[cali]

For me, it's John McCain. There's something about that man that really gets to me. Part of it is his lionization in the press- war hero, blah blah blah POW blah blah blah. He plays both ends against the middle. He's a crass opportunist. He's hateful. Maybe I should pick someone much younger than the elderly McCain... nah.

1. Darrell issa

[TexasProgresive]

2. For me it is 5

John Roberts Jr., Samuel A. Alito Jr., Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy. Any of the 1st 4; if not Kennedy. It would be nice if 3 of these would step down and President Obama could appoint 3 more justices including a chief justice.

3. good choices, but I'm not sure I'd classify SCOTUS Justices as political figures-

in reality they're political, but they aren't politicians.

6. It's all politics.

The founders hoped that the courts would be more impartial but presidents appoint those who are in tune with their politics. Not sure how to make that better.

9. For the SCROTUS5 (Supreme Court Republicans of The United States)

I'd be real happy if they all caught mad cow disease. moo.

11. I think they have it already.

4. easy question to answer - rick scott

ok, a bit selfish, but I am proudly from Florida

5. Ted Cruz

There are many I dislike, but most of them are 'sound and fury.' They vote with the noxious RW, but they are devoid of any intelligence.

Cruz, on the other hand, is smart and has learned the tricks of Senate procedure that can tie up that body. He's willing to take down anybody and the government.

While he is leading the GOP further right which further marginalizes them, the harm he is doing is real and causes great harm to many. The RW would continue without him to march right. I haven't seen any other person in the Senate with his ability to carry out damaging moves and bring a whole group with him that is large enough to monkey up the works.

7. Walker - all politics is local.

[Dirty Socialist]

8. One Person I would like to see stay

Governor Brownback. Keep reminding us the failure of the trickle down theory.

10. Eric Cantor. Oh, wait . . . nt

[conservaphobe]

12. Rand Paul, after we kick McConnell to the curb. nt

[polichick]

13. Dick Cheney and his equally hateful wife and daughter.
