Best and Worst Members of Congress

[scarlett09]

That was an interesting read. It seemed as though most of these Bests and Worsts were from the Midwest, South and West. No one was from the East, which was very strange. Maybe I think that is strange because my perception is that, having spent my entire life on the East Coast, that it is more corrupt than any other part of the country. That's why I will enjoy reading others comments on this. You all live and have lived in such varied areas of the country that you will have lots of different views on which part of the country is more corrupt.

Do any of those Congressmen represent any of you? Your thoughts on them?

I think they should do a 10 All-Time Best and 10 All-Time Worst list. That would definitely be a fun read.

One of the best Congressmen was Congressman Flake.

Re: Best and Worst Members of Congress

Having lived in the South, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and now Midwest....I'd say corruption is pretty evenly spread. Honestly, I'm stunned by the level of pettiness and corruption in "small town America". I suppose there is only less because there are fewer people. I'd imagine that in most areas there are good guys and bad guys....and a whole lot of people that just try to be somewhere in the middle. You have to judge each case individually.

Well, Lieberman's driver almost ran over Nikolai and I so he's definitely on my list. And Tammy Baldwin fed me wine and cheese and took me with her to a floor vote so she's on my Best list.
