Rank Your Congressman!

http://www.gradegov.com/top_rankings.php

Notice the number one ranking.

It appears as though republicans have skewed this site although I cannot say I disagree.

I expected this:

Out of 532

Byrd - #396
Rockefeller - #479

Rahall and Mollohan didn't do much better. I admit I was surprised with Capito however. She's little more than a RINO and yet she was rated a B.

Cato

Wow. Did anybody else look at Barney Frank's rating? He got F's across the board both nationally and in his own district. I wish it told us how many people voted in his district.

OK Jimmy you shouldn't have shown me that website. You know I fixate on things. Pelosi, Kennedy.....all the people who make me sick to my stomach.........Reid, Specter, Rangel......got F's, with the notable exception of Lieberman. He got a C.

Some interesting things to note......

They only let you grade once per day. I gave Capito a "C", then it wouldn't let me give Frank an "F". It told me I was only allowed to vote for one per day and to sign in tomorrow.

Another thing, it shows who got the most grades. Ron Paul isn't in the top 10.

If I think about it tomorrow I'm going to log in and give Jay Rock an "F". Looks like the rest of the nation is flunking the Kennedys and Co without me.

My congresswoman, Debbie "the Chairman" Halvorson, eeked out a "D."

As any number of my students can tell you, however, D's get degrees!

I was a bit perplexed how she got the D. Maybe some extra credit for just having gotten there.

You touch on a hypothesis of mine. I believe that a great many urban congressional districts are represented by people far to the left of the people representing them, but as the media considers their reelections fait accompli, would be voters for challengers stay home and no one cares to tell a pollster that they intend to vote for the "loser."

There was a recent congressional election to replace Rahm Emmanuel over in Chicagoland, and turnout was so low that the Republican Pullido, if she had gotten Republicans out to vote, could have won. The media, however, started the "safe Democratic seat" talk as soon as the Democratic primary was over.

So I think Frank could be unseated, just as many of them could, by a Republican message that was clear, conservative, honest, and pragmatic.

It has really become almost impossible to out-vote the "troughfeeders", ...... their livelyhood and accoustomed style of living both depends 100% on their Candidates winning.

And by any means of "Hook or Crook" they will attempt to insure that is what happens.

And the greater in scope and size that Government employment becomes, ...... the less likely any changes can be effected that benefit the private sector.
