Which state is cursed with the crappiest pair of Senators?

[marmar]

Poll question: Which state is cursed with the crappiest pair of Senators?

Sorry Oklahomans, but IMO, you're the losers in this category. But I'm sure there are varying opinions.


On Edit: I changed the South Carolina category to Kentucky. Apologies to those who've already voted.

[alfredo]

1. Kentucky- Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning

[Democrat 4 Ever]

5. Amen to that. McConnell and Bunning have to be the most evilest, baddest ever. n/t

[Big Blue Marble]

8. Absolutely the worst.

How could they not be listed in the poll.

[marmar]

I changed the SC line to KY....I forget how repugnant those two are.

n/t

[Big Blue Marble]

18. Thank you

for this great recognition for our state.:sarcasm:

[alfredo]

32. Lexington? If so, CFK meeting Wednesday 7PM at Puccini's.

[JohnnyLib2]

40. Loud vote for KY--we have Bunning, and the McConnell/Chou package deal.

:banghead:

[alfredo]

57. Mitch and Elaine, consolidating evil under one roof.

[JohnnyLib2]

58. Heh, I think we have to claim Elaine, not Margaret Cho!

:evilgrin:

[alfredo]

60. Oops

[kittycat1164]

19. Gawd, I wish *I* could forget those two!!! n/t

[alfredo]

30. I'd voted before the change, so there should be one less Other, and one

more Ky.

[marmar]

53. Noted for the record.

:)

[alfredo]

56. TKS

[DisgustipatedinCA]

20. I'm in Kentucky

and I voted Kentucky for purposes of this poll, because Bunning and McConnell are about as bad as it gets. But I was very tempted to vote Oklahoma, because those 2 idiots would certainly give my 2 idiots a run for their money.

[alfredo]

29. McConnell is in a position of power where he has done tremendous

damage. He was the one that proposed the Telecom immunity bill.

[Jack Rabbit]

74. Well, consider this . . .

Jim Bunning is the greatest US Senator ever to pitch a perfect game in the majors.

I dare you to disprove that.

[Kitty Herder]

2. Utah. Hatch and Bennett.

I want new sentors!!!

[thevoiceofreason]

3. Texas - we suck bad - we've got dandruff and itchy scalp, the tormenting twins

[sonias]

48. Which one is dandruff?

I'm betting it's Kay. But they are both sucky, no doubt about that!


Sonia

[Ghost in the Machine]

4. Tennessee: Lamar Alexander & Bob Corker...

[NashVegas]

23. I'd Second That

But Frist was worse than Corker.

[SharonAnn]

33. I'd third that!

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. That was a tough choice

I choose Oklahoma but all the others were just as close.

[SteppingRazor]

7. Oklahoma, no question.

In fact, Inhofe and Coburn should actually be in the running for worst U.S. senatorial representation all time. Rarely have two senators from one state been so dumb, mean, mean-dumb and generally lizard brained.

[depakid]

24. You're right, it's hard to top Oklahoma

In fact, it's downright embarrassing.

[OwnedByFerrets]

9. My ignorant, backward state, Alabama.nt

[jody]

10. Alabama's Jeff Sessions ranks at the top of the worst. Way to go Alabama! n/t

[Benhurst]

11. Hey! How about some equal time here? Republican Senators Dole and Burr of NC .

[guitar man]

12. I'm sorry

Apologies for Inhofe and Coburn....I voted against them but it just wasn't enough :(

[marmar]

It's not your fault......

:grouphug:

[polichick]

13. Yikes - that's some scary shit!

[wryter2000]

36. I'm with you

Seeing all those names in one place gives me the hives.

[leftchick]

14. North Carolina

Burr and Dole. nuff said. :(

[G_j]

34. ugh!

yep :hi:

[leftchick]

44. hi ya G j!

:hi:

I miss you! :)

[G_j]

45. :-)

missed you too!
:hug:

[ncrainbowgrrl]

51. didn't see you up here! I wrote us in again further downthread...

NC in the house.

[Fireweed247]

15. Alaska by far

Lisa Murkowski appointed in an obvious(should this be legal) case of nepotism. Not as corrupt as her father but the apple can't roll that far from the tree.

And Ted Stevens- no one can top the guy that coined the phrase "the internet is a series of tubes"
Listen to him here- how can anyone this clueless have as much power as he does? Running again in his 80's he will be the longest sitting Republican Senator ever! Help!!

[butterfly77]

16. I would like to say all...

But,I especially dislike Inhofe and McConnell...

[SoCalDem]

17. All of the above.. That's a Sophie's Choice list ya got there

[cloudbase]

21. Texas.

We're no. 1! Well, so far, anyway.

Saaaaaaay. How come I don't get to vote twice in the poll. We Texans are gettin' used to that now.

[DemoTex]

22. You really should have left SC in the running: Lindsey Graham and Jim DimWitt.

"Five rugs; five dollars!"

:puke:

[Blue_In_AK]

25. Ted and Lisa are pretty bad,

but if you throw in Representative Don Young, our lone congressman, I think Alaska has to "win" this one. In those other states, aren't there at least a few Democratic House members to kind of dilute the awfulness of the senatorial representation?

[trackfan]

26. I normally pick on Texas in these types of polls, because they're big,

and can take it - even if it were not true. In this case, however, Oklahoma is the correct answer.

[ThoughtCriminal]

27. AZ - tell me we're not cursed

McCain/Kyl

But let's face it, with the GOP's race to the bottom of everything, any state with 2 republicans can make a claim.

[provis99]

28. notice that 6 out of 9 are Southern states?

What's wrong with the South? I mean really, what's WRONG with the South?

[Zynx]

46. Go back 50 years. Same story.

[lpbk2713]

31. We've got a BushBot and a DINO in Florida.

I guess it could have been worse if Katherine Harris won the Senate race but she was on the outside looking in the whole way.

[HooptieWagon]

66. I agree, FL's pretty bad

but we're hardly the worst. I feel real bad for those DUer's in TX, OK, AK, and AL. Yikes!

[Initech]

35. I'm still amazed that Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens gets to keep his job.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

37. Living in Texas

I would love to place my vote there, but my native state of Oklahoma has got to have the two craziest wackdoodles alive.

[librechik]

38. I bow to the uber evil okies and texicans--

by comparison our Colorado Congresscritters, Salazar and Allard, are mere craven douchebags.

[BlooInBloo]

39. Surprise, surprise - worst in the nation is between TX and OK.

[HughBeaumont]

41. Used to be Ohio, with twin Cabal rubberstamps Voinovich and DeWine.

Then we wised up and put the awesome (and hopefully future presidential candidate) Sherrod Brown in office.

Next up on the agenda is grumpy George Voinovich.

[onethatcares]

42. floriduh, nelson and martinez

dumbandfuckingdumber. another two pigs feeding at the trough.

[MasonJar]

43. No state could have worse scum for Senators than Kentucky. We win! Ha Ha

[Zynx]

47. Kentucky and Oklahoma have quite a competition there.

[GOPisEvil]

49. I live in Texas and we've got an awful pair to be sure. But Oklahoma's pair is worse.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

50. NC- Liddy Dole and Richard Burr.

Our Senators are awful AND have no influence. What a great combo. :sarcasm:

[tool_of_the_people]

76. I guess that they're better than . . .

...the two we had a while ago. Jesse Helms an Lauch Faircloth. They were awful but Helms did have some influence.
We deserve better. But some of the GOP voters must not realize that, yet.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

52. k

:kick:

[XOKCowboy]

54. In CO we've got 2 doozies...

Wayne "Rubber Stamp" Allard, who thankfully will be retiring this year and Ken "DINO" Salazar. We had a lot of hope for Salazar when we elected him and one of the first things he does is proudly nominate Alberto Gonzalez for AG! Whenever one of those really close votes on vital issues loses, you can always count on finding Salazar's name on the list of "Dems" voting with the Repugs.

Maybe we'll do better when we elect a Dem to replace Allard. Too bad we have to wait 4 more years to get rid of Salazar.

Oh as for the poll, I had to go with my old home state Oklahoma for sentimental reasons.

[marmar]

55. Sorry about Salazar.....That's unfortunate.

n/t

[greenbriar]

59. Kansas Hands down..then add in our stupid congress critters hell

Tihrdts own kid committed suicide because of him

[Maine-ah]

61. heh, Maine

how the hell did a blue state elect two republicans, I'll never figure that one out. (Collins & Snowe)

[knitter4democracy]

62. Michigan. They lost us our vote.

Sen. Levin's been trying to move Michigan up in the primaries for years, and he finally got Dingell and a few others on his side as well as the MIGOP. Stabenow worked with him, too. And now, there's a darn good chance our state will swing red over their stupid stunt.

[Bozita]

63. That list has some real stinkers, but nothing approaches the pungency of the pair from Kentucky.

[Harry Monroe]

64. FYI, Mississippi Senator Trent Lott is retired

The Senator appointed by Gov. Haley Barbour is Roger Wicker.

[Skittles]

65. I live in Texas but I will go with Oklahoma

that Inhofe guy is predictibly offensive every five minutes or so

[OhioChick]

67. Used to be OH

with Voinovich and DeWine. At least we have Sherrod Brown now.

[garry_neal_hazitin]

68. lock steppin-rubber stampin-bush backin

arizona has been condemned for years w/its lock steppin-rubber stampin-bush backin failures named jon & john..and now the one nearing senility wants to be a preZdent....both are a laffing stock

[madokie]

69. Okla-fucking-homa does without a doubt

I swear we aa a whole are not like these two at all. Around here on the local level you have to look pretty damn hard just to find a person registered as a :puke: let alone be an office holder, they're few and far between but somehow we have these two asshole senators. wtf

[Maestro]

70. I voted for my two from Texas, but

poor Oklahoma really is in a tie with Texas. Coburn and Inhofe are idiots!

[L. Coyote]

71. ALABAMA has #1 and #2 Donation Recipients from Military Defense Contracting

So, they go to the front of the Military Industrial Complex list in a category.

I could work out a really complex, weighted formula for you, given all the data on corruption.
:rofl: to provide a more scientific determination.

Off the cuff, Stevens carries a lot of baggage by himself,
and may be worse than any other two combined.

[Mind_your_head]

72. No wonder that this country is in the condition it is in when

at least 20% of its Senators can EASILY be on the bad/worst list. How do these guys keep getting re-elected year-after-year-after-year anyway?

:think:

[Mind_your_head]

73. Not even one recommend? A thread that help identify the "anti-people", yet pro-corporate Senators

How curious that. eom

[Terry in Austin]

75. Texas - Corny and Hutch

n/t

[fishwax]

77. Oklahoma--and, sadly, it's not close

There are some bad pairs in there, to be sure, but since Santorum's defeat Inhofe pretty much dominates the "worst senator" category. Coburn isn't quite as bad, but that's probably just because he doesn't have quite as much experience :(

[MilesColtrane]

78. Cornhole and the Breck girl win it...

...by a mile.
