Ain't politics wunnerful?

DeMint and Inhofe are pretty much the only names on it. My list is shorter than yours. DeMint and Inhofe are pretty much the only names on it.

I just sent off more complaints to my 'elected' reps (Senators) for all the good it will do me. But at least I have the simple stuff done. :-) Some of the GOP Senators I still have some faith in are DeMint, Sessions, Inhofe, McConnell and maybe Shelby. Not sure about Coburn, Cornyn, Kyl and some others. Do you have a list?

Olympia Snowe has been one of the worst for a long time. I love the line "A key centrist in Congress" applied to her. She's about as liberal as it's possible for a Republican to be. But that's the media's new definition of centrist. "Moderate" or "wishy-washy" Republicans are now considered by them to be "Right Wing Extremists". As for revenue reduction and deficit spending in the stimulus package, I think that the CBO estimate is far lower than reality. But then, this is just a "stimulus" bill. Congress has yet to take up the "regular" federal budget. The entire North-East is nothing but RINOs and Democrats. Olympia Snowe has been one of the worst for a long time.
