Off the top of my head, it's a toss-up between Louie "Loony" Gohmert (R-TX) and Steve King (R-IA), "The Shame of Sioux City."

But I'm sure there are other shining stars in the Republican firmament, and I don't want to leave them out.

Anybody?

[SummerSnow]

1. Not a fair question cause soo many are batshit crazy

Where do I begin?

[Rex]

2. Ted Cruz

His visit to Hooville cost us 26 billion dollars and he didn't learn shit! Most expensive dumbfuck in Congress?

[Comrade Grumpy]

6. But he's a senator. That's a different category.

Though he certainly is a top contender for the Senate batshit crazy nomination.

[Rex]

8. Hmmm hard to say...so many from Texas

My vote goes to someone currently from Arizona, Texas or Florida.

[oldhippie]

12. The Senate is part of the Congress ...

Just for accuracy.

"all legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."

[joshcryer]

14. In common parlance "congressperson" is equivalent to "representative."

You don't usually call Senators "congresspeople."

[oldhippie]

23. Then I guess the common parlance ...

... Is wrong, and we should endeavor to correct it.

[HERVEPA]

26. No need to correct anything. It's common parlance and it's fine.

[joshcryer]

28. It goes way way back. 1780.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/congressmen

congressmen: a member of a congress; especially : a member of the United States House of Representatives

Generally when you refer to both Senators and Congressmen with relation to their both being members of the bicameral Congress you'd say "Members of Congress" to get around the ambiguity.

[oldhippie]

31. I know that ...

... It's still wrong, even if it is common. But never mind, not worth further discussion.

[MurrayDelph]

25. Ted Cruz isn't crazy

just very, very evil.

[abelenkpe]

3. Hope more people respond with their favorite crazy republicans

It would be nice to have a comprehensive list of loonies.

Who is the guy who thought Mars was the same temperature as Earth? Therefore, climate change is baloney...and down with the EPA?

[jmowreader]

4. You haven't been watching Fox News lately, have you?

Steve King is (R-IA) not (D-IA).

I'm going to have to go with Michele Bachmann, DU's Sweetheart.

[Comrade Grumpy]

7. Yeah, I don't know if that was a Freudian typo or what. I fixed it.

Bachmann is certainly a contender. Is she coming back for another term?

[jmowreader]

11. No, she's retiring after this term

Most people call that kind of retirement "being on the run from the authorities."

[ThoughtCriminal]

5. Batshit? Too much for the Belfry

We're going to need a big ass cave for the heaps of guano the Teabagger class brings to the house.

[mysuzuki2]

9. It's a toss-up between

all of them.

[conservaphobe]

10. They all have one thing in common: (R) nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. Lately it's the guy who said climate change was a hoax becaise Earth and Mars have exactly

the same temperature. State Senator Brandon Smith?

[RoverSuswade]

15. King

I think he's actually from Uranus

[ballabosh]

16. I'll put all their names on a dartboard

and blindfold myself. Let you know later. Now where's that dart?

[GoCubsGo]

17. Paul Broun (R-GA)

He will most likely be replaced by Jody Hice, who rivals Gohmert and King in the batshit crazy department, if not surpassing them.

[Generic Brad]

18. Brother Louie

Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie Louie, Louie you're gonna cry

(He certainly is whiter than white)

[amandabeech]

19. I'd have Gohmert, King and Bachman on the podium in that order.

But you could give honorable mention to at least 3/4 of the other House Republicans.

[babylonsister]

20. Inhofe is out of his everlovin' mind in a calculated way. I have to

assume he's getting paid off, or he should have never been elected for anything. Start with his startling views on climate change (and I think he's a member of the committee?). Seriously delusional, and he's been around for awhile. Whackadoo!


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


Environmental issues

Inhofe, former chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, does not believe that human activities cause climate change.[33] In The Republican War on Science, Chris Mooney stated that Inhofe "politicizes and misuses the science of climate change".[34]

Inhofe often repeats his claim that human influenced climate change is a hoax and impossible because “God’s still up there.” and that it is “outrageous” and arrogant for people to believe human beings are “able to change what He is doing in the climate.”[35]

[herding cats]

21. Paul Broun?

Mr. evolution and the big bang theory are "lies straight from the pit of Hell," himself. He wouldn't be so batshit insane if he weren't the Chairman of the House Science Committee.

[Half-Century Man]

22. "Them" I said, pointing to the right, "Those dingbats"

Your question is a bit like; What hurts more, getting your foot run over by a Chevy, Ford or Dodge?

[geek tragedy]

24. Jody Hice makes Gohmert look like Neil deGrasse Tyson nt

[Archae]

27. Unfortunately the craziest ones are the ones that we never hear about.

Most of the congressional crazies are all mouth, no action.

It's the craziest ones who will suddenly pop up with absolutely nutsoid bills, or congressional actions.

[GeorgeGist]

29. Does it matter?

[sakabatou]

30. Too hard to choose

We have so many clowns in government.

32. Cynthia Lummis eom
