worst members of congress since WWII

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

6. Strom Thurmond (as a dem)

Thurmond was indeed a piss-poor Senator before the late 1960s, often missing votes and almost never getting involved in matters that were not related to his opposition to the civil rights. After 1968 he became actually very effective in aiding his constituents affairs.

In no particular order...
20. Richard Nixon (People forget he was a Senator)

In all fairness, Nixon served just 2 years before becoming Ike's Veep and was much more "active" in the House.

You're mentioning just one (failed) action that came when the man was dying, which, as much as I disapprove such attempts to annoit a successor, is hardly a "crime". And judging his entire long congressonal career by that one example is a bit narrow minded, not to use stroger terms.

Btw, what were the other "crimes" of Inouye?

LBJ: Mostly for his actions as president, not to mention my personal belief that he was responsible for JFK's assainaton, he did have the most to gain from it. Since none of it is related to his Senate Tenure he comes in at 18th on my list.

Evidence, please?

Besides the fact he benefited the most...

Yeah, yeah. Also, Theodore Roosevelt payed Czolgosz to shot McKinley. Coolidge travelled all the way to San Francisco to suffocate Harding with a pillow and Harry Truman poisoned FDR so it would appear as a stroke...

OK, so you're admitting it's just your baseless personal belief. Dude, you're clever!
