I'd say the worst is Chuck Schumer, but Lieberman and Graham are hardline statists also. It's odd how they're all in the Senate, but the House doesn't pander to special interests as much and there are more members in the latter making U.S. Representatives more obscure.

I'd have to say Dr. Rand Paul is probably one of the worst ten Senators for being so different from his father even though his voting record isn't one of the ten worst. Anyway, I've become more skeptical of Rand Paul as time went on. It's now apparent to me that he wasn't just trying to get elected when he was talking about using heavy U.S. gov force to keep terrorists from terrorizing Kentucky. However, I can now officially conclude that he's not an anarcho-confederalist like his father[1], because he has no affiliation with anarcho-capitalists and Lew Rockwell. One thing I found interesting is that he's 3x as pro-choice as father is this year... Securitarian/super pro-business[2] Republicans are generally more pro-choice than traditionally conservative anarcho-confederalists.

Even though I don't agree with Rep. Kucinich and Sen. Sanders on policy even 60% of the time, they're my favorites after Dr. Paul... I think the former two are good people because they clearly aren't puppets, just as Dr. Paul is a good person because he is clearly not a puppet either. However, pretty much everyone else in Congress is a puppet of the New World Order/U.N., the MIC, the F(arming)IC, the B(anking)IC, Big Pharma, the Drug Cartel, AIPAC, and/or the CIA.

1. Dr. Ron Paul is an anarchist. His goal is to gradually get rid of the U.S. Federal Constitution and replace it with self-rule... he is on video as saying so. Also, he realizes that all (not just the income tax) taxation is theft and has said that it should be voluntary... which indicates that collectivism should be voluntary, that anarchy should supercede gov, and that he does not believe in the state for future generations.

2. People who are truly pro-market are neither pro-business nor anti-business. Dr. Rand Paul seems more aristocratic and pro-wealthy/pro-business like Milton Friedman was... in other words, Dr. Rand Paul is more of a right-wing neoliberal than a Austro-libertarian.

Dunno, 420 seems like 20 different people posting sometimes :/

Lite case of Schizophrenia perhaps? Explains still living with parents, insane posting habits, and multiple postings with everything from middle school to college level grammar and structure.

Its either that or lupus.

Cynthia McKinney would probably be the all time worst. Among current ones, I'd say Michelle Bachmann, Allen West, and Charles Rangel. Dennis Kucinich would have been on the list also had he not lost, as well as Robert Byrd and Strom Thurmond were they still alive.

"I say to Houston, when people all around the world, in London and in Tokyo and in Paris, Buenos Aires say 'Gee, I can't wait for my trip to Houston,' then you can have a shuttle," said Schumer.

Good choices. I'd also throw in Dennis Kucinich, Charles Rangel, any Democratic congressman whose constituency is primarily an urban ghetto and any GOP congressman elected from a rural district in the Deep South.

There are certain people that it is extremely hard to leave off this list (Bachmann, Cantor), but I think this is the most solid one I can come up with.

Dennis Kucinich does a represent an ultra-ghetto area although some parts of Cleveland aren't bad... I love central and western PA, although the eastern PA (Philadelphia) sucks. I've never been to Neo Amsterdamn, so I can't comment on Charles Rangel's district.

We seem to agree on more than I would've thought. I'm not familiar with Walsh or Gohmert, but Bachmann and West could easily be in my top 5 least favorite. I also agree with those who said Cantor and I agree with 4 out of 5 of thraashman's five. I can't stand my Rep. either (Rob Wittman).

The problem is that there are too many wolves in sheep clothing. I'd just rather have the naked wolves.

Anyway, as long as we have a republic, the vast majority of the legislature will always be people claiming to represent the people even though they can't represent the people. One thing about a monarchy that I like because it's closer to anarchy is that a monarch doesn't have to live in the present (i.e., monarch's have much lower time preference, at least in theory)... they're not going to squander all of the wealth of their kingdom because they have an heir and because they never know when they may need to keep their savings. In monarchies, those who want the throne may fight each other, but the people stay out of it unlike in a democrazy (conscription was introduced in France by democracy)... but I'm not saying that monarchy is desirable or better than democrazy, because monarchs, in practice, probably don't have significantly lower time preference than the rulers of a republic.

There are several Democrats I don't particularly like, but there's what 535 total members of Congress? None of my top 5 happen to be Democrats. I'm sure at some point down the road a Democrat could sneak into the top 5, Cynthia McKinney was at one point for example (and I'm in her district and got to vote directly against her in the primary).

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the only one that jumps to my mind.

even when I agree with what she's saying, she always come across like an insufferable bitch.

Thats a pretty good list, but I'd like to throw Jeff Sessions' off a cliff name up for consideration too.
