My top vote for the current worst member of Congress:

Anthony "Rat Boy" Weiner (D) NY



Reason for my pick: He's a far left-wing ideologue who believes government should steal massive amounts of money from hard working Americans to fund enormous government and increasing redistribution of wealth to those who did not earn it. And he's arguably the most obnoxious, cantankerous cretin in Congress right now. To boot, he's a self-loathing Jew who makes the rest of us look bad.

Watch him get embarrassed by Megyn Kelly while trying to champion the full reinstatement of the insidious death tax - the extra taxation/confiscation of one's property after death, which, despite Weiner's claims to the contrary, harms many middle class American families every year (with the exception of those fortunate enough to suffer loses in this year alone, when the tax was temporarily repealed).

A truly wretched excuse for a human being who should be cleaning toilets instead of doing everything he can to wreck the US.

Hardly surprising.

Anyone who's name is Weiner must be a dick.

Yeah... If you disagree with his positions on estate taxes, okay, I guess? However, calling him the worst member of Congress that is occupied of people that seem to rack up new criminal charges every week and many of whom answer to corporate lobbyists and stuff seems a little misdirected to me. I'm sure there are many other members more deserving of your scorn.

Anthony Weiner only gets 15,100 hits on the batshit crazy-o-meter.

Sorry, but even though the Democrats in Congress are giving her a run for her money right now, my vote still goes to my Michele.

Big Mac, the problem is that from your postings it seems like every Democrat is "a far left-wing ideologue who believes government should steal massive amounts of money from hard working Americans to fund enormous government and increasing redistribution of wealth to those who did not earn it," so I'm not buying that this guy is especially bad.

Sheila Jackson Lee. She's a contender, for sure.

I'm not sure how being an income tax attorney makes one batsh*t crazy, but OK. I'm also not sure how Wikipedia left that part of her career out.

Huh? That's in wikipedia, as of right now. And that's not what makes her batshit crazy: it's the batshit crazy things that come out of her mouth that make her batshit crazy....

Geesh, which greedy, stupid D-Bag does one choose as the absolute worst?

Keith Ellison is up there:
“I think that we need to create a real crisis here so that the Republicans will have to answer for denying Americans unemployment benefits on the eve of the Christmas holiday,’ Ellison said. ‘We let them off the hook, in my opinion. "

As moonbat as he obviously is, he's really just speaking as a TYPICAL run of the mill liberal Democrat. He's just dumb enough to actually spell out the typical liberal agenda: do everything possible to CREATE a crisis, -screw whatever harm it does to citizens- then blame the resulting mess on Republicans. Typical lib. Typical d-bag.

That's like blaming the hostage negotiator when a bank robber shoots someone in the head. Yeah, maybe the negotiator sucks at their job, but they didn't pull the trigger.

All the liberal Democrats in congress who just HAVE to raise taxes because they can't control their spending habits.

Why tinfoil hats? You've got one advisor suggesting they never let a crisis go to waste and another one talking about the need to create a crisis. Is it really a whacked-out conspiracy theory to conceive the possibility?

I'm more than a little disheartened that Republicans have not suggested the spending measures in their compromise with Obama be considered under PAYGO. They had the leverage and if the tax cuts had not been extended due to new spending being tacked on, they could've waited until the turn-over in January and make it happen in relatively short order. Instead we're looking at an estate tax and a butt-load of new spending I thought for sure they'd suggest be paid for under the PAYGO provision their peers drafted.

I still want to know how the continuation of the tax cuts will be paid for.

They won't be paid for, because Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. The Republicans won the midterm election, and their due is another big tax cut!

(+1 if you remember who originally said that....)
