10 dumbest people in congress

[12vmanRick]

I know some would wonder why Bush didn't make the list.

Could be that Bush isn't in Congress.

um.. good point, I was speaking as if it pertaned to ALL politicians

There are more than 10 bad ones. I wonder how bad the candidates were that these people were running against. Seems to me that those that can do, those that can't work in the government.

yea there are more than 10, this was taken from a website that said these were the top 10. I know some would wonder why Bush didn't make the list.

he was on vacation when they sent out the polling materials for him to answer.

ya mean like he has been every time something important happened in this country?

Oh and Adam above, that stats that you posted just proves the uniformed and stupidity of the voters to have some of those people in such close races that shouldn't even hold office.

Cynthia LOST after the publicity of slapping a Capitol Police Officer. She said she should have been "recognized" and it was "Racist" that she wasn't. Yet she wasn't wearing her congress pin.

well, it is a tiring job, running the country during a never-ending war on terror and civil liberties...

tho maybe they'll do a followup, the 10 dumbest people in the Executive Branch, and their boss...

Cynthia lost the Georgia 4th seat in the democratic primary back this summer. Hank Johnson, who defeated her, won the seat yesterday with easy. That district is very traditionally Democratic, and is, by alarge majority, African-American.

This is the second time in 3 election cycles that Cynthia lost the seat in the primary. In 2002, she was defeated in the primary and blamed Republicans crossing over to vote against her (there aren't that many Repubs in the district). This came after she claimed that the government and Israel were behind 9/11, etc. etc. Her opponent (Denise Majette) went on to win the seat in the general election of 2002. Majette decided to run for senate in 2004, giving up the seat, and Cynthia was reelected. Then came the slapping incident and oops, she's voted out again. I truely hope that Mr. Johnson wants to stay in Congress a while.

#1 Katherine Harris of FL got swept out of office bigtime, losing by a 60% to 38% margin.

Harris was in the House of Representatives and gave up her seat to run for the Senate. She wasn't swept out of office, she lost the election for a different office.

yea and you remember all the "supposed voting irregularities", "racism" and several other things she claimed while her moronic father was Jew bashing? That cross over voting really got me. Anybody should have a right to vote for whoever they want in any election and not have to claim a party.

I think I made it clear that I wasn't aware of all the circumstances for each person in that list, I was going only by what was in the original post and what CNN had on their vote tally site. I looked up each name to see if they were in an election race, that was the extent of my research.

Thanks AB8 for looking up that info that I didn't have time to the other morning.

Interesting results....
