Republican Race to the Bottom Contest

[MarcMus]

BuzzFlash is hosting the "Sour Sixteen Republican Race to the Bottom" contest, where you can vote to decide which GOP members are the lowest, most dangerous, most whatever. It's set up like the March Madness brackets with a new one on one match each day. They need six more nominees, and there are some pretty big names left off the list so far.

You can also make your predictions for the bracket and follow along at home.

1. ahhh...a little theme music, courtesy of George Jones:

I feel tears wellin' up
Cold and deep inside
Like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of lonliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was takin' it hard
Oh, she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow
When I break right down and bawl

Well, the race is on
And here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches are goin' to the inside
My tears are holdin' back
They're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the runnin'
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartache
And the winner loses all

One day I ventured in love
Never once suspectin'
What the final result would be
How I lived in fear of wakin' up each mornin'
And thinkin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart
For today was the one I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win her
I came out in second place

...yeah, the goopers are racin' for second place...

2. Why only 16? There's more than enough IDJIT Pukes to field a full bracket of "Silly Senseless 64"

:evilgrin:

ETA: Welcome to DU :hi:

3. Good question

I don't know. Maybe time constraints, or they wanted to focus on exactly how bad those sixteen are. Either way, I think Cheney will take the cake.

5. Sorry

They must have just closed it yesterday. I thought they would be open longer. Either way, that's apretty decent list. I wanted Joe the Plumber on there, but I understand his absence.
