Poll question: Which state has the worst PAIR of Senators? |
|
Let's hear it from DUers who live in a state with two conservative idiot Senators: Vent away!

Allen makes me f'n sick. Idiot redneck Virginians only voted him in office cuz his dad was coach of the VA's beloved Redskins. When I see this asshole spreading his propagandist shit thick on the talk shows, I wanna blow my f'n TV up.

gets a clue and asks him about the good old days at PV High when his fervent racism drove him to vandalize the school with anti-white graffiti in an effort to stir up some good old fashioned hatred. Allen was way ahead of his time in terms of being a no-good, shithead, rightwing repuke.
Back in 2000 I contacted the Robb campaign plus every media outlet I could think of and gave them names of people who could corroborate this, but the whores weren't listening and Robb's people didn't follow up.

59. Allen.... reminiscing... |
|
Remember that time when he was governor and he brought us up to #2 in the country for executions? Or the other time he privatized VDOT, so now road projects cost 3 times as much and always need to be redone as soon as their finished (see Hampton at I-64 and I-664 linkup)? Or that one time, he tried to sell William & Mary's College Woods and use the proceeds to build a prison? I think what takes the cake is his "country look." He grew up in a mansion right on the James River in Richmond, but in the past seven years, he suddenly starts wearing cowboy boots and chews tobacco. :puke:

The first is a loud and obnoxious idiot, the second is an ultra-conservative ideologue. Both are completely unrepresentative of my home state of Missouri.

25. Kay Bailey's an interesting if not-too-bright one |
|
She also changed her vote on a flag issue a few years back after hearing Carol Mosley-Braun plead her case. It was over some group's use of the confederate flag as a symbol.
She winds up on her own now and then, so I'd not vote for Texas on this list.
I had a friend who told me that Kay Bailey was voted by a group of people around the senate as "Least Likely to become a Rocket Scientist."

Murkowski's father appointed her to the Senate and he was just named as the largest benefacter of oil industry travel and entertainment gifts. His daughter was right up there next to him and ninety percent of oil industry gifts went to Republicans but some went to a couple of Democrats. John Breaux and Tim Johnson each received about ten thousand dollars in travel and entertainment money from "Big Oil"

GA has a faux Democrat (Miller) & a crypto-fascist (Chambliss).
PA has a total mouth-breather in Santorum, but at least Specter is pro-choice.

Without looking it up, I would bet that both their voting records are 100% right wing-nut.
They have war chests out the ying yang, and no one can even begin to think about challenging them. They'll be there until they die or get big defense contractor job offers.
They're completely out of touch with average Alabamians.
They're public speaking embarrassments.

Wayne Allard's sponsorship of the FMA and the horrifying speech he gave on Wednesday put him right up there with Orrin Hatch in terms of out-of-control deranged scariness as far as I'm concerned. The do-nothing, party-switching Campbell voted against the FMA and may not seem like an obvious choice. You really have to meet the Frighthorse in person to understand why he's bad.
