[JeffR]

1. Very negative.

And he's supposedly a Democrat.

[OhioChick]

2. Dennis....Need I say more?

[Radical Activist]

37. I'm jealous.

Mine is a total POS.

[Drunken Irishman]

84. Very negative? Yeah, I agree.

[Alexander]

3. Very positive. Harry Mitchell is a complete 180 from that fuckhead Hayworth.

Mitchell even voted to extend more grants to college students.

This is a man who pays attention to his constituents.

[Bobbieo]

17. Very Positive.!!! My Rep may be the next Sec. of The Interior

[Alexander]

21. Raul Grijalva?

I've seen him speak at ASU. He's great.

Although it saddens me that Obama is taking some of our best politicians to Washington.

[Clio the Leo]

4. Zach Wamp is a hillbilly twitboy. NT

[Cleita]

5. Mine is a really dumb Repub with support from very deep pockets though.n/t

[musette_sf]

6. i love my rep (Pete Stark)

voted against Iraq war
voted against Wall St bailout
open proud atheist

[Odin2005]

77. Wow, he's openly an Atheist? This fellow Atheist sez that guy must have ball of steel.

n/t.

[Alexander]

94. The first self-described Atheist ever elected to federal office in the US.

Of course, he told people he was an atheist after he got elected, but that didn't stop his constituents from voting for him again this year.

Hopefully someday we can celebrate the historic election of the first openly non-religious President, just as we made history this year.

[PM7nj]

7. Rob Andrews.... meh.

He's okay, I guess. Much too moderate for this district though.

[tabbycat31]

8. from what I know about him, positive

But I will admit that I don't know much about him. I've lived here a year, and when I called his office to protest offshore drilling, he was on my side

[Irishonly]

9. Grace Napolitano

She has called me several times and I like her very much.

[glowing]

10. Mine is a Republican hack who has absolutely no power.. he was worthless

before and is still worthless.. just had a family name.. part of that stupid dynasty thing.

[Jennicut]

11. Chris Murphy, CT Got rid of Rethug Nancy Johnson in 2006. He is a great rep.

He constantly updates his info with new mailers about what is going on in the world and in congress and seems very open and accessible. Young guy, in his early 30's just like me, relates to his constituents well and is down to earth. He would make a great Senator some day, maybe when Dodd retires some day in the future.

[JanusAscending]

32. I'd say rather than Dodd.......

LIEberman!! I love Chris too. We've had many meetings with him up here in Thomaston. He comes to all of our Dem. Town committee fundraisers, and you're right....he does keep his constituents well informed !! When I lived in New Haven County (over 5 yrs. ago) I had the pleasure of knowing the GREAT Rosa DeLauro up close and personal. Helped with her campaign the very first time she ran. I'd say all in all, Ct. has some pretty damned good reps!!

[Jennicut]

62. Hey, I live next door in Terryville! That is really cool. We do have great reps.

Being a small state, we really have an advantage too, the reps can cover less ground. When does Loserman run again, 2012? I guess I was thinking Chris is such a great rep I want to keep him there for awhile. Dodd won't retire for a long time and Chris is young but I bet he would beat Loserman. I used to like Joe way back years ago, but he let us all down. My parents are from Cheshire and well it being a rich town they are Republicans. They voted for Joe this time, that is who he is appealing to and dumb Dems and independents. I guess I rebelled. We don't discuss politics as I really like Obama and Biden obviously and they voted for McCain and Palin.

[stranger_with_candy]

102. Chris Murhpy is great

I wish i could have voted for him! Unfortunately i'm a few too many towns away to do so.

[Starry Messenger]

12. Barbara Lee!

http://lee.house.gov /

We are lucky.

[ronnykmarshall]

75. Barbara Lee speaks for ME!!

I love her!

[vanderBeth]

13. Oh no! I voted wrong. I said very neg but I meant the opposite. Eddie Bernice Johnson

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

[nickinSTL]

14. John Shimkus

[bookman]

15. My rep is a wingnut..

..who gets 75% of the vote.

My county in Texas is so red it makes the rest of the state look pink.

[Chipper Chat]

16. Dan Burton UGH UUGGHH peuk VOMIT crappo sh*thead DUNCE

strong enough?

[fadedrose]

18. Candice Miller (R) MI ... last & first time I saw her was

a few years ago speaking to save the life of Terry Schiavo.









(Edited to correct name spellings)

[PassingFair]

96. You poor baby...

I've got Sander Levin over here.



Miller is a THUG.

[midnight]

19. My rep. is sennsenbrenner. Guess how a voted in this poll?

[Alcibiades]

20. Mine is David Price

He talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk. Voted no on Iraq, but was against impeachment and for the Wall Street bailout.

Basically, he does whatever the leadership wants him to do, and spend the rest of the time sucking up to people who are never going to vote for him anyway.

[seemunkee]

22. She hasn't even been in one year yet

Donna Edwards (MD 4th) won a special election in June and then had to run for a full term in Nov. Not much of a record yet.

[Bjorn Against]

23. I refuse to call mine my "rep" because there is no way in hell he represents me.

John Kline

[ccharles000]

31. ...

[camera obscura]

104. Same here :(

what a POS.

[Occam Bandage]

24. My current rep is neutral. My incoming rep is strongly negative.

[ladym55]

25. Betty Sutton

She's doing a great job.

[abq e streeter]

26. Creepy Heather ( help! I saw a boobie on the Super Bowl) Wilson is OUTTA THERE

and I have some hopes that incoming first term Democratic rep Martin Heinrich will be at least decent.

[Webster Green]

27. Lynn Woolsey

Love her!

[FLAprogressive]

28. Very negative. I have used car salesman and fake moderate Vern Buchanan (R) nt

[mitchum]

29. He's a fucking moron...Paul Broun

[ccharles000]

41. ...

[FrenchieCat]

30. Barbara Lee is the FrenchieCat's meow!

Not only is she excellent, but I know her personally, and my daughter got to intern for her this summer.

Go Barbara! She was an early endorser of President Barack Obama during the primaries, just like me.

[Nightflurry]

33. John Dingell

We like him here, though I suspect this will be his final term. He's good on social issues. Not perfect, but good. He represents his constituency well.

[tomnjoy]

34. OMG ... Michelle freakin Bachmann

Heaven help me...

[vduhr]

60. OMG! My condolences to you.

You poor thing, and I thought Heather Wilson as my rep was bad!

[tomnjoy]

88. Thank you.

I was so hoping she was going to be out on her a$$ this year. I hate living in this district some days. She is downright frightening ... and the dimwits in my district keep voting for her. I just don't get it!

[Odin2005]

80. Oh God. I can't stand that woman.

I have Collin Peterson over here. He ain't perfect by any means, he's actually a bit of a DINO, but he's a good guy and much better then any Puke.

[tomnjoy]

89. Me neither

I despise her. I don't understand how the nitwits in this district can elect that woman! She may be my representative, but she certainly does NOT represent ME!

[camera obscura]

35. Don't like him, but living in the district next to Bachmann, I know he could be worse.

[vanboggie]

36. Ick

Mr. Milquetoast, Vern Ehlers. I don't have a rep.

[MrMickeysMom]

38. Tim Murphy (R) Christ, help us all... he was re-elected

After using dirty tricks to make up some nasty lies, then televise them blitz speed during the last few weeks. Steve O'Donnell, the best opposition, who should have won over this Bush-voting mouth breather, did NOT have the Democratic Party support he needed, and I'm very unhappy about that.

Meanwhile, I'm watching Murphy's ass closely and recording some things on my own. He'll eventually try to screw somebody over and we need to be to film this sleeze ball.

[globalvillage]

82. Ugh, you poor thing.

Mine is Mike Doyle.
I did donate to O'Donnell's campaign. Nice guy, I talked to him on the phone when he was trying to raise money early in his campaign.

[SeattleGirl]

39. Jim McDermott (D)

Love the guy!

[Ichingcarpenter]

40. Can you talk to his office?

I can with mine and even get results

Lois Capps is mine,

[PBS Poll-435]

42. My congressman is Chairman

Of the Useless Assholes Committee.

Pete Sessions(R TX-32)

[Longhorn]

43. Lloyd Doggett, Democrat, one of the best! nt

[mvd]

44. Negative

Garlach (PA-6) is a Repuke, but not one of the worst.

[Milspec]

45. John Sullivan of the OK first district

he's a pin head. In a state full of pin heads. Why did I leave Socal?

[FlaGranny]

46. Robert Wexler

I couldn't be happier with him. He agrees with me on every subject except for one.

[harun]

58. Wexlers awesome.

[gmudem]

47. Very positive!

John Hall is a great guy. I volunteered for him and met him this summer. He probably has the most liberal voting record of any congressman in a majority Republican district.

[AngryAmish]

48. sad we are losing him (Rahm)

[Bluenorthwest]

49. Love him

Peter DeFazio, of Oregon.

[Kajsa]

50. Very negative.

Dana Rohrabacher is my rep.

[Blue_In_AK]

51. Soon to be indicted Don Young -- negative negative negative.

[LWolf]

52. Walden?

[sufrommich]

53. Thaddeus McCotter - despise him. nt

[blue_onyx]

66. He is my Rep. too

I can't stand him either. Although I saw him talking about the auto bailout recently and it's the first time I've been on the same side of an issue as him (kind of scary). But of course, as a MI representative, he pretty much has to support the bailout.

He will be a target in 2010 and if we have a good candidate I think he will be gone. I'm just not sure who the Dems could nominate. Glenn Anderson could beat McCotter but I don't want to give up Anderson's seat since we really need to win the state Senate for redistricting.

[PassingFair]

97. Why is he being so prominently featured?

Is he on a special committee?

It IS weird to hear him making sense.

[blue_onyx]

105. I'm not sure if he is on a related committee or something

He probably likes the attention of being on TV and makes himself available for a lot of interviews (other Representatives might be busy actually doing things). He seems like a person who would like to hear himself talk.

[PassingFair]

108. He looks like Uriah Heep.

If I were remaking David Copperfield, I'd cast him in a minute.

[chiefofclarinet]

54. Steve King (IA-5)

Fortunately, Iowa is losing a seat in Congress in 2012 after the census, so it is likely that his seat disappears. I cannot happen soon enough...

[Vinca]

55. I'll go with positive. We do disagree on impeachment.

To his credit, though, after I faxed him a letter about something he emailed me and we briefly carried on a back and forth over the issue. Paul Hodes, New Hampshire, by the way.

[dana_b]

56. Anna Eshoo - meh.

she's very middle of the road and does just enough to keep getting re-elected.

[harun]

57. Republican lite Blue Dog. Better than a puke though.

[vduhr]

59. Heather Wilson of New Mexico

She just spewed Republicanisms every time she showed up on Hardball before the election (she always looked like a deer caught in headlights). She's on her way out. She tried to run for Domenici's Senate seat but lost in the primary.

[ogneopasno]

61. I love my DFL Rep. Jim Oberstar of the Fighting Eighth in Minnesota.

He's multilingual, loves to bike, is chairman of the transportation committee and is a strong supporter of unions. For all that, I overlook his stance on abortion, and will miss him when he's gone.

[Odin2005]

81. Oberstar is AWESOME!!!

Didn't know he was multilingual, very cool!

[ogneopasno]

93. He speaks French and Slovenian, as well as (I think) others. He was a civilian language teacher for

the Marine Corps. The man rocks.

[tomnjoy]

87. I love Oberstar!

I'm so jealous. I'm stuck with the pure evil of Michelle Bachmann. I really hate being in this district some days.

[ogneopasno]

92. When we moved into the Eighth, we had a little celebration for moving into Oberstar's district.

He's great.

[jillan]

63. Jeff Flake - and his name says it all.

Worthless piece of caca.

[H2O Man]

64. Very good.

I met with him on Election Day.

[polichick]

65. I like him a lot and have campaigned with him...

...but was disappointed that he caved to the gigantic bailout ~ after lots of us let him know what we thought of the deal, of course.

Something definitely happens to our Congresscritters in D.C.

[Chisox08]

67. Danny Davis

He is a true Chicago politician. His property tax magically goes down while everybody elses went up. I live down the street from him.

[Perky]

68. None of the above,,,,,,He is brand spanking new..

[davidpdx]

69. Very Negative

My rep is Greg "I kiss Bush's ass" Walden in the 2nd Congressional District of Oregon. Thankgod the other 6 people in the Congressinal Delegation are all Democrats once the new Congress starts next month.

[yy4me]

70. John Tierney, proud to have him represent us.

[baldguy]

71. I love Louise.

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

[appleannie1]

72. Have a new rep so cannot answer. Kathy Dahlkamper will have

to be better than English, the Republican we just got rid of.

[ronnykmarshall]

73. Xavier Becerra

He's a good guy from what I know. I've only been in this district since Jan. Looks like he's going on to serve in President Obama's admin.

I've been VERY lucky.

Since 1986 I've had as my Congress Critters.

Barbara Boxer, Sala Burton and Nancy Pelosi (San Francisco)

Henry Waxman (West Hollywood)

and now Xavier Becerra (Silverlake/Echo Park - Los Angeles)

If Becerra takes the job w/ Obama it will be interesting to see who my next Critter is.

[Odin2005]

74. MN 6th Rep. Collin Peterson is OK, but a bit to DINOish and socially conservative for my taste.

Though he's better then a Puke, that's for sure. And he's a good, decent, well meaning person, unlike, say, Bachmann.

[grantcart]

76. Brian 'douchebag' Billbray

Well the guy was a Rep in another district and got disticted out and became a full time lobbyist. He never has lived in this district and never comes here living full time in Virginia.

Knocking on doors one of the people saw his picture on the backside of my literature and asked, "Didn't he used to live in Imperial Beach?" When told that he did he said, "Yeah that guy was my MJ connection when he was the lifeguard - he had great shit".

That was what he did instead of going to college - which he almost certainly could not have handled on an intellectual level.

[Critters2]

78. Jerry Weller, R-Guatemala

POS

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

[ellie]

79. Love her!

My rep is Marcy Kaptur.

[Berry Cool]

83. I too have a brand new one, Marcia Fudge

the freshly elected replacement for Stephanie Tubbs Jones.

Way too early to really have an opinion yet.

[regnaD kciN]

85. Mine is Dave "Third" Reichart, so...

[MadBadger]

86. Rush Holt or Tammy Baldwin...I'm good with that.

[last_texas_dem]

90. He's pretty worthless

Kevin Brady



Tends to vote right-wing down the line, economically and socially. The best I can say about him is that he doesn't seem to get too carried away with the borderline racist or ultra-fundy stuff that many southern Repugs get into, as he's from The Woodlands and the business 'pugs aren't quite as much into that kind of stuff. However, the pseudo-anti-government (despite being hand-in-hand with * every step of the way as he dramatically expanded the size of the federal government and increased its spending), supply-side zealots are about equally repugnant, and he seems to be pretty solidly in that camp from what I've seen.

[Iggo]

91. I chose "Neutral."

We got the crazy Sanchez. (Linda)

[Alexander]

95. Don't you mean the sane Sanchez?

"Linda Sánchez is considered to be more liberal than her older sister. While Loretta began her political career as a liberal Republican, Linda has always been a Democrat."

"Loretta Sanchez is a moderate politician, conservative on some issues including fiscal issues. She has supported a Constitutional amendment to outlaw flag desecration and encouraged states to prosecute violent juvenile offenders as adults. She is a Blue Dog Democrat as well as a member of the New Democrat Coalition."

Seems to me that Linda is the better half, unless you are more conservative.

[PassingFair]

98. Who in here is lucky enough to have Jan Schakowsky representing them?

She is far and away my favorite congress critter.

[Madam Mossfern]

99. Bill Pascrell

He's very responsive.
Actually listened to me when I challenged him about voting for the Iraq war.

[youthere]

100. Dave Loebsack, Dem, 2nd congressional district...Love him.

[TripleKatPad]

101. Soon to feel terrific

My current rep is a Rethug rubber-stamper, but, come January, my new rep, Gary Peters takes office. The fact that he trounced the many-term thug by nearly 10%? Priceless.

[HelenWheels]

103. Dave Obey

Love him most of the time but he does occasionally miss the mark

[SoxFan]

106. I've got a really good one

Carol Shea-Porter. One of those rare people who you know with absolute certainty is in politics for all of the right reasons.

[JustAnotherGen]

107. Ugh - Leo Lance - R

Nope. Don't like him. I voted Stender. Hmph!
