Does a dumb ass Senator reflect badly on the state who elected him?
I'm watching Senator Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma and I'm fascinated that a majority of Oklahomans would elect this mental midget. The dude makes George Bush look like Albert Einstein.

2. We should all write OK newspapers
ask them to get this dumb dumb to send us proof that what he says is correct. If he can prove it, we could believe him.

5. You Bet!
Ohio suffers greatly with Voinovich. We did manage to unload Dewine-r but not before the guy had a chance to do some real damage. Who knows if these subpoenas do the job maybe we can weed out more dead weight. Peace, Kim

6. As an Oklahoman, I can say that yes, when Inhofe opens his mouth,
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 02:58 PM by AndyA
it damages the state. There are many of us here who do not feel we have representation from him.

The man is a fossil. A small, stupid, petty man. And the comparison to Bush is certainly appropriate.

Inhofe is supposed to be a Christian family man, yet he and his brother were involved in a very nasty lawsuit some years back regarding an insurance company they were involved in and some illegal activities. (They were suing EACH OTHER.) How's that for family values? And Inhofe has a very dirty mouth, too. So much for being a good Christian.

I called Inhofe's office after he made the comment that he was proud to say he's never had any homosexuals in his family. (That he knows of.)

I told them to tell him I was proud to say that I've never had any POLITICIANS in my family!

Using Nazi Pig to describe Inhofe is an insult to Pigs.

7. Well, Bush at best could only look like Albert Einstein's intellectually
....challenged siblings but never would he fit the shoes of Albert himself. Having said that Senator Inhofe could only be compared to idiots who do not know the difference between shit and Shinola

30. I'll take 10 KBH's over 1 Cornyn any day
I don't always agree with her, but she is involved with local issues where she needs to be. I don't know what the hell Cornyn does as I never knew what Phil Gramm did.

14. Kentucky has brain dead Jim Bunning and Mean Mitch McConnell
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 03:27 PM by Democrat 4 Ever
is there a PAIR of state senators that are more corrupt, nasty, and partisan then these two asswipes? This does not reflect well on my beloved state but I have high hopes we will correct this in '08. Mean Mitch is up for re-election in '08 - I would love nothing more than see this asswipe and his wife sent packing.

21. Grassley
I think his vote against the first Gulf War in 1990 has given him a free ride amongst Iowans - but that ride has ended if he chooses to seek re-election.

He is an embarrasment to our state on a monumental scale. There are many intellegent, well read, progressive people here in Oklahoma, but I guess there aren't enough to keep this asshat from getting elected. :(

Answer is the same. You are a part of this country and so are we all.

26. I have to be the minority voice, I guess
Considering how much of the state population votes, and then taking into account that a certain percentage of that group votes for the Democrat, and then taking into account election fraud - I'd have to say no, you can't smear every single person who lives in a state based on their senator. I don't think you can generalize about any group for anything, but those are some particular reasons for not generalizing about every single person in a given state.

So how is he an incarnation of 100% of the people who live in Connecticut?
