Show me a politician that didn't sponsor 1 single bill and he's got my vote, Republican or democrat. You have to see the newpapers over here. They rate politicians on how many bills they sponsored? And, none of them, of course, would be favorable to me. All they do is cost me money and infringe. So, I guess in order of importance
1-A politician that votes to repeal existing nonsensical legislation.
2-A politician that only introduces legislation that would limit existing legislation.
3-A politician that doesn't introduce, sponsor, or vote on anything.
4-A no-show politician.
5-A politician with herpes, The Virus, genital warts, terminal acne, bad breath, ear wax, Hanson's Disease, chronic diarrhea, gonhorrhea.
99-A liberal.
When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

Punch, I agree with number 1 on your list and that has always been my first choice. However, like it or not, there are certain things that Government must do to function and those are the things that elected Politiicians should focus on, after they "clean house" and take out the trash. They could easily accomplish what needs to be done by meeting for 2 weeks a year, at their own expense, with no salary or benefits. Politics should not be a "Business" but rather a "Service". If this was done, you'd get a much better pool of Leaders. I'd also would add to your list anyone who would vote to eliminate useless agencies such as the EPA and TSA. Any agency not eliminated should be stripped of all regulation powers and not be allowed to detain, arrest or fine citizens for violations of any regulations they enacted.
Really KK, exactly what functions does my FEDERAL government have to deal with in order to function? I count about three things, maintaining the military, judicial review of laws to assure they do not conflict with the U.S. Constitution, and maintaining a budget to do the first two things. Number 4 would be to stay the heck out of my way.
Maintaining a budget would require a meeting once a year to agree on the taxation for the budget and actually drawing up a budget. In order to collect the taxes, we need tax collectors. So I go with Military, Tax Collection, maintaining laws in accordance to the Constitution and maintaining the Eisenhower Interstate system for commerce and miliary transportation when needed. I also go with increasing the Border Patrol and letting them do their job, along with revamping Immigration and Naturalization to be sure that we are sending the illegals back to where they came from, at their expense. I'm sure that I can think of a couple of other "essentials" to maintain a working Government, but it would be much smaller than it is now and would leave most things up to the States and the individual Citizen.
My Favorite dead Lib is a tie between Teddy "I like to to go swimming after drinking and driving" Kennedy and FDR who is really the Father of everything that is screwed up now. FDR passed gun control, FDR passed the New Deal FDR got the government so far into our normal lives they can never get out of it.
Now my I would really like to these on the list and will rejoice when they do
Number freaking one: MICHAEL BLOOMTURD Reasons: Illegally got himself re elected after term limits were voted for and in place, Thinks he is the King and not just of NYC,Crusades for gun control and imposes his will on areas that have nothing to do with NYC, Denies normal people their Constitutional rights to Keep and bear arms while he goes everywhere protected by Police Officers. Thinks Muslims are more important than 3,000 people who perished when Muslims flew Airliners into the World Trade Center. Telling us how and what we should eat and drink and lastly for just being a liberal douchebag.
Number Two: Christine Quinn Reasons: Illegally elected to a third term after term limits were imposed and was the reason Bloomturd was able to buy the city council. Advances a Gay agenda over everything else and just a liberal douchebag.
Number 3: Charles Schumer Reasons: He breathes.
Number 4: Charles Barron: Racist Black Panther Party
Number 5 through who knows: Any other liberal who thinks they know better on how I should be living my life and want to impose their Ideals on me.

Mack allthough I hate FDR, I must disagree on him being the father of liberalism. That title has to go to Woodrow Wilson. After all he was the first to want to give control to a world organazation!!!!!

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin.
Ah that may be true but Wilson did not get that accomplished. FDR did get his Socialist Ideals put into place. Also FDR interned American citizens just because of their heritage. Also FDR was a pioneer of the UN and Truman led the way for our entry. Wilson was wrong and the US senate correct to keep us out of the League of Nations. Truman and the Post WW2 senate has us in this mess we are in now. The only thing the UN has ever gotten right was to commit troops to aid South Korea, the fact we could not finish militarily what had been a win and ended up a military stalemate was due to the politicians. We could have won every conflict we have committed troops too since WW2 if the politicians have not handcuffed our military, if they had let them fight a war and not let politics get in the way.
