weeeeeeeeeee weeeeeeeeeeee…squeal like a pig boy!…. weeeeeeeeee… weeeeeeeeee…again, this is our ELECTED officials, screwing the taxpayers. They may bring money into their state, but let’s face it, the money mostly goes to their friends, family and supporters…not the general public…I view this as criminal. We give them enough, they get free medical care for life, they get a retirement for life after a few years in office, they get so many perks it’s obscene…they are no longer servants of the public, but they have become American royalty….they come into the Congress with good ideas, and leave as millionaires…how do they do that?….they spend millions to get elected and make what? about $150K?….TERM LIMITS are needed

For representing a farm state Grassley performed better than I anticipated. That’s a tough constituency, folks. He’s a good one although someone needs to get between he and Pat Leahy. Harkin, on the other hand, is no surprise at 16 and change. He’s a plaintiff’s attorney after all. I’d sure like to know what the earmarks cover. They must benefit the eastern side of the state.

Did anyone notice the Republican to democrat ratio at the top of the list (the Good ratings)?

Yep, I did. I stuck to the top 10 though. They didn’t need my help to look worse than they already do.

We need to determine how we can get term limits passed, which will be difficult considering this group of morons would have to vote this through.

I guess the best we can work towards is to make lobbying guidelines more strict. For example, you cannot be lobbyed by a corporation/individual unless they are a constituent. That means that the corporation/individual must live/reside/be headquartered within your district.

I think that is a good start. But, we need term limits 2 terms for the Senate and 4 terms for the House of Representatives. How can we get this done within the next 10 years?

Did anyone notice the Republican to democrat ratio at the top of the list (the Good ratings)? Its a ridiculous discrepancy. Only 2 out of the top 30 rated senators are Democrat. And they say Republicans are spending us to death. Gonna end the corruption in Washington? They better take a look in the mirror.

Wow. In the top 10 best, 1 is a Dem. In the bottom 10 worst, 1 is a Rep.

I must say, I am shocked!

Unfortunately I live in CA. Feinstein and Boxer are two of the worst (16.6 & 25.00 respectively). This state likes to believe it is leading the way….HA! All the whack jobs have made their way here in the last 30 years and i am planning on going somewhere other than this loony bin. Feinstein and Boxer will not likely ever be voted out.

I have one Senator who scored a 91, Senator Ensign. My other Senator, Dingy Harry scores an embarrassing 16. Thanks, for link MM.

SHOCKER!!!! Bipartisan Porkers yes, but the majority of those with the best grades are Republicans (for now anyway). Just wait until the pandering for votes begins; the bacon will fly then.
