My AP government student/daughter asked me, "who is the most conservative senator?"

[Mind_your_head]

I truthfully said, "I'm not sure".
I had to "lol", when she told me who she determined it was!

:ROFL:

edit: spelling

[orleans]

1. who did she say? n/t

[Mind_your_head]

[WCGreen]

3. Jim Bunning????

[Hawkeye-X]

4. Easy answer.

Uhhh.....

*thinks for a minute* *looks at his U.S. maps*

Well, I'd have to see these fools from Kansas are pretty batshit crazy....

And those fools from up North.... (Wyoming)

And those to the West (Utah)....

But my vote goes to (drumroll please) .....

The two Oklahoma fools - Inhofe and Coburn.

At least we love New Mexico!

6. Well,

it's gotta be some rich old white A-hole, right?

Was it Sen. Thurston J. Howell, III (R-RI) or maybe Sen. Milburn "Rich Uncle" Pennybags (R-?)?

Oh, the suspense is killing me :P

7. How old is she? - n/t

She knows the right questions.....

9. OK has probably the two nuttiest senators

Inhofe and Coburn are absolutely insane.

But really, the GOP itself is a narrow minded party with no goal other than to strengthen wealthy interests and cater to religious fanatics. And looking at the record of GOP senators and their absolute allegiance to that ideology and the agenda given above, they deviate very little, with occasional exceptions by Oympia Snowe and maybe one or two others.

10. They are all mostly way gone

One of the following:

Kyl
Coburn
Bunning
Shelby
Inhoffe

[immoderate]

11. If conservative means corrupt or stupid or crazy, then it's a toss-up.

Barry Goldwater is the last sane conservative I could name. Well, mostly sane. I think Lugar is the most conservative that's not mentally defective.
