Are you happy with your Congressional representives and Senators?

[terrya]

I'm pretty satisfied with my representatives in Congress. My Congresswoman is Jan Schakowsky...very liberal, anti-war in Iraq (she opposed the United States going into Iraq from the very beginning). I'm proud that she represents my district...the 9th Congressional district in Illinois. I support Dick Durbin, Senator from Illinois. He's been on the right side of almost all issues. The other Senator from Illinois, Peter Fitzgerald, I could do without. But he's not running for re-election, so maybe the Democrats can pickup that seat next year.

Does your representatives in Congress reflect your views? Do they do a good job in Washington? Just curious.

Thanks.

1. For the most part

Kerry/Kennedy and John Olver is my Rep. He's great about 99% of the time, but once in a while he pisses me off.

[Armstead]

19. Olver

He seems to vote well on most issues. But he's so boooring. But I guess it's better to have a boring liberal than a lively conservative.

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Exactly

I'll take that any day! The thing I like about Olver is that he's very accessible and is here in the area to actually hear what people are saying very often. You know how little attention Western MA gets from the State legislature, I'll take what I can get from Olver.

2. Yes I am

Ron Wyden is a great congressmen, and I am ok with Gordon Smith, only because he did the right thing and went against his own party when he voted against the drilling in Alaska.

[Bronco69]

3. All of my reps are republican swine

Pete Sessions is the representative for my district and Hutchison and Cornyn are our senators. Need I say more?

[Walt Starr]

4. I'm happy with one Senator

The other one will hopefully be replaced with one of the good guys next year.

My representative is a no-count low down bitch named Judy Biggert who will NOT receive my vote.

[w13rd0]

5. Let's see...

...I've got Kit Bond, Jim Talent(less) and Dick Gephardt.

What do you think?

[AWD]

6. No!

My rep is Ralph Regula. He has NEVER supported any of my beliefs or policies.

So I decided to run against him in 2004.

[Andy_Stephenson]

9. And your doing a damned fine job

AWD...you go! You hvae my vote...fer sure!

[AWD]

10. Tomorrow....

....is when the serious, big-time campaigning begins. Two dinners on my schedule for tonight and a speaking engagement for the weekend.

I'll have an announcement about a few things tonight.

on edit - you have my vote too. Go get 'em and DON'T LET UP!

[Andy_Stephenson]

12. I am speaking to 1000

pissed off union workers on Saturday. They may be even more pissed of and I might walk away with 1000 more votes...There is a tidal wave building. Do you feel it? Catch the wave!

[Andy_Stephenson]

7. Politicians and Diapers need changing often

for the same reason.

[Sinistrous]

8. I live in rural Pennsylvania. Take a guess on how I like my reps.

.

[Ramsey]

34. Right, Spector and Sanctorectum!

Bleck, could we have worse senators than that crazy loon, Areln Spector, and that Ashcroft wannabe, Rick Santorum?

Howver, my congressman, Chakka Fattah, seems fine, even if you never hear a peep out of him.

[RichardRay]

11. I live in Wyoming - 'nuff said. (eom)

[JNelson6563]

13. Levin, Stabenow

in the Senate and we have some rockin' Reps in the House (tho' not from my district--an R)

I am pretty happy with my Senators. Applauded Levin's brave votes last year and his valiant effort to amend the IWR to say Jr had to come and ask permission before kicking off his adventure. Needless to say it was voted down. Don't even recall any of our would-be Presidents from the Senate speaking on its behalf. Sad.

Mind you Levin was in the middle of re-election in an almost-as-safe situation as some IWR backers. I was so proud that day.

14. In OKLAHOMA?????????

NO

[1songbird]

15. You are so lucky!

I love Senator Dick Durbin myself and I live in Cincinnati. I even wrote him a letter telling him to keep up the good work on the judiciary committee. My senators SUCK! I have George Voinovich and Mike DeWine. George is more of an old school fiscal conservative who at one time believed in balanced budgets before he blindly started following the president's line. Both are extremely conservative and nauseating!

[sendero]

I live in Texas...

... need I say more? :(

[DianeK]

16. how could i not be satisfied with my senators or congressman?

senator leahy, senator jeffords, congressman bernie
they represents us very fairly and bravely and it has not been easy for any of them in washington

[mdmc]

17. Hinchey is a national treasure

:dem:
:kick:
:dem:

[sybylla]

18. Lucky me, my reps are all good Dems

Though my congressman, Rep. Ron Kind, is a little too centrist for me. But I love Sens. Feingold and Kohl. In a side by side comparison with Feingold, Kohl doesn't look that progressive but he does rather well.

[Cheesehead]

29. As a fellow Wisconsinite, I concur

Feingold and Kohl are representing me well, and my congressman, Tom Petri, was one of the few Repubs to vote against the $87 billion for Iraq.

[pansypoo53219]

20. can't complain about

Fiengold. Kohl has his moments. wish my congressman was Dave Obey, but at least the mention him in the paper.

[fencesitter]

21. I've got "Rick the Dick" Santorum...

I'm just so happy I could puke. Our local congressmen and women are all repubs and have been in office since the beginning of time. At the state level they're not too bad, but the federal ones have got to go!

[bleedingheart]

28. Santorectum and Specter

along with a smarmy congressman named Murphy...

gag..i hate them all

[Nailzberg]

22. Durbin YES. Kirk NO. Fitzgerald, NO but gone soon

Kirk will retain his district, seeing as it's a pencil thin line, which somehow was drawn to include Great Lakes, probably the largest inland Navy base in the country, and Kirk in addition to being a lunatic, is a Naval Reserve Officer.
Fitzgerald is history, and I believe the Dems running have better chances than the Repukes running in this state. After all, this is Cook County voting.

[mobiggsly]

23. my rep is Bush's robot slave

but he's 100% better than my last rep who was a complete sellout to the meatpacking industry. At least he occasionally tries to help the state instead of constantly screwing it over.

[11 Bravo]

24. In Virginia? Not Likely.

Warner is a doddering old fool. Allen is a hardcore wingnut. My Rep., Tom Davis, holds the GOP purse strings and actually passes for a moderate around here.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Eh...mixed bag. Being in Texas, that makes me lucky.

In Congress (until the new maps take over :grr: ) I have Lloyd Doggett who flat-out rules! :thumbsup:

In the Senate...Hutchison and Cornyn...:puke: x 2

[goobergunch]

27. I can't stand them

In ascending order of hatred:

Sen. Arlen Specter :thumbsdown:
Rep. Jim Gerlach :puke:
Sen. Rick Santorum :grr: :puke: :mad:

[suegeo]

30. Norm Coleman

Norm Coleman = tuna sandwich ordered by mistake in great steak restaurant

Jim Ramstad = Useless GOP boot licker. Nazi talk radio tries to label him RINO, but don't fall for that. He's rightwing, all the way.

Mark Dayton = ok by me

[dflprincess]

33. Suego, I agree on all three

Ramstad really irks me. He tries to present himself as a moderate and every so often there a rumors that he'll jump to the DFL but, if you check his voting record, he's nearly as bad as that weasel Coleman when it comes to supporting Bushco. Though I will give him points for publically saying the whole flap over Wellstone's memorial service should be dropped (he said that at the time).

[Julien Sorel]

31. LOL

I have JD Hayworth, who who reminds me of an old style big-bellied sheriff from the Deep South, and has politics that almost match.

[realFedUp]

32. No, I'm not happy with my Dem Congressman

and I'm frankly really fed up with the voice vote
on the floor of the Senate yesterday pushing through
$87.5 billion on top of the $79 billion granted
last April.
My Congressman co-authored The Patriot Act...would
you vote for him again?
