I think Santorum is more just a complete weirdo than evil.

Assuming we aren't limited to contemporary politics, I'm thinking James Buchanan, Edgar Hoover, Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, Richard Nixon, Joseph McCarthy, Franklin Pierce, Donald Rumsfeld, Millard Fillmore and that's just a start.

Oh yeah, and Carlos Danger. He may have not supported slavery or sunk to the depths of those above; but he was clearly a reprehensible psycho.

Alexander Mitchell Palmer, Roy Cohn, or Spiro Agnew.

It's always the second-in-command.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Calhoun yet.

Living or dead?  I can come up with a long list for either.

Jefferson Davis?  John C. Breckinridge?  Theodore Bilbo?  Dick Cheney?

Calhoun was pretty terrible, but I think you're setting the bar pretty low by selecting him if we're considering historical politicians.

Personally, I think the Civil War era produced the worst American figures in the entire history of the United States.  (Of course, it also ironically produced some of the best.)

Dick Cheney, for literally sending hundreds of thousands of people to die to give his company, his friends, and later himself, a handout.

I find it rich that some elements of the right like to complain about Social Security or Medicare when they were fine with sending our army in as Halliburton's mercenaries.

Why is "American" under scare quotes by the way? What are you trying to imply? :/

Al Franken, Howard Dean, Justin Amash, Barbara Boxer

You are a truly bizarre individual. Three of those are fairly bland, noncontroversial Democrats. Has Dean even done anything since 2004?

Al Franken is a dick, and Barbara Boxer is a huge b[inks] but neither of them are remotely horrible people in the tradition of the Atlasian term "HP." Bill and Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Dick Cheney, and a few others come to mind for being the actual worst human beings in politics.

I'd assume it's because peeperkorn is from uruguay, so objects to people conflating america with the US.
