Worst elected U.S. public elected official or appointee (September 2021 edition)

[Ralph Wiggum]

After some other folks weigh in with their opinions, I'll explain why I put this poll up and my reason for my vote.  Could probably name several dozen "Worst People in the United States", but went with simplicity for this poll.

 

[ABC-2]

Happy to have voted in this poll, Ralphie.

I chose Anthony S. Fauci, MD, NIAID Director ...

A lying-dangerous-research-Mad Scientist!


Haven't changed anything I wrote above, and wont !!!  ...

Still reading what Rand Paul said about him & his lying.

Not to quibble, but shouldn't the poll list people who are actually elected?

I'll elaborate soon.  But there are some truly awful people who are unelected in our country but hold major decision making roles, sometimes in government but also in the left wing media.

[old dog 2]

I had to choose other.  I do not consider Biden or Harris to have been elected.  Fauci is unelected and appointed by an unelected person.

Can't make up my mind between Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) and Sec.State Brad Raffensperger (R-GA).

Worst elected U.S. public elected official or appointee

Only one??? There are so many frauds and con artists to choose from; Republican and Dim'Rat alike.

"I say we remote pilot the second drop ship down from the Sulaco, dust off, and nuke the entire [Beltway] from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

^^^This.

So many to choose from. Pelousy, Cheney, Schumer, McConnell, Kinzinger, Sasse, Cuomo, Newsom, and the state governors/local mayors that have caved to BLM and antifa. The "Squad", most of the RINOs in the Senate and the House, but those RINOs are everywhere.

This list might be better if it were to be reconstructed in a positive way. Name the PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS who are honorable, ethical, and truly look after their constituents without usurping their freedoms. I guaran-damn-tee you that list will be shorter than Fauci is tall.

Great idea.  Let's get some nominations then put together a poll (where you can vote for more than one).

Off the top of my head, I nominate Donald Trump, Jim Jordan, Louie Gohmert, Rand Paul, MTG, Ron DeSantis and Ted Cruz.

To me 'worst' means intentionally-dangerous or incompetently-dangerous.   Dangerous to the individual 'state of mind' in which America exists, apart from the prairies, savannahs, mountains, forests, etc.

Hard to calculate which of those mentioned, is worse.

I think that any politician worth his salt is gonna ruffle a few feathers, and I have no problem with that. To go along with that list, I'd include Crenshaw, Hawley, Boebert, and POSSIBLY (not sure) Scalise.

I would NOT include McCarthy under any circumstances. Lots of bloviating, very little action.

Senators Tom Cotton and John Kennedy as well.

It was an ambiguously basically push poll, because lots to chefs are contributing to ruin the soup that is our country.  Can almost guarantee that Joe or Kamala aren't running anything other than being the public face of the Susan Rice/Barack H./Valerie Jarrett class of smoke-filled backroom ones holding the levers.  This is proven daily, whenever Sleepy Joe says "The told me I'm not supposed to take questions".  Ostensibly he's running the country and he can't even take a half dozen questions from the boot-licking media?

Voted for Fauci, as he's just awful.  Based on the clips I hear frequently on a variety of radio shows, Lord Tony is on a dozen TV shows a day and keeps shifting goalposts on what's happening with the Chinese Wuhan virus.  He's using his UNELECTED power to dictate how our country is operating, along with that CDC woman (Wolensky, I believe).

We're never going to get to COVID/Wuhan zero, we have to learn to live with it.  Libs just want to control every aspect of our lives.

I don't for a minute believe Barry Soetoro is running anything but his cock holster. He was picked by someone way back when he ran for the Illinois senate.  Even then someone pulled the strings to help him get elected to the state senate. He was nothing more than a stuttering fool that could look good and read a teleprompter.

Agreed. He's just too ****ing lazy to do anything but occasionally appear in front of the cameras, preen, look pretty, and strut for Reggie Love.

Senators Tom Cotton and John Kennedy as well.

What have either of those two senators done besides run their mouths?

Serious question.

Well, both are solid conservatives and effective speakers for conservative values and the party.  Are they both perfect?  Of course not.

In my little opinion, we need someone like those two and the aforementioned folks who are articulate.  Your mileage may vary.

[old dog 2]

The who do you trust poll.

I'm going to start the poll in a day or so.  Here's a preliminary list:

President Donald Trump
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX)
Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD)
Gov. Mike Parson (R-MO)
A.G. Pam Bondi (R-FL)
A.G. Ken Paxton (R-TX)
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK)
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO)
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO)
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA)
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX)
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)
Rep. Louie Gomert (R-TX)
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)

I'm sure there are a few more to add.  I have doubts about several but I'd like to see what others think.

Don't get me wrong -- I especially enjoy Kennedy's ladling on the snark on the unfortunate idiots that are appearing before the committee in which he's a member. And there's no doubt that Cruz is a great speaker.

My issue probably lies within the fact that both of these guys are essentially powerless within the winner-take-all system that we have. Even a 50/50 tie yields powerlessness.

And, as we all know, committee appearances and testimonies in both Houses of Congress are nothing more than political theater. Cruz, especially, never passes up an opportunity to run his mouth -- not that what he says is bad or evil.

I'd just like the system actually **** up and allow what these two guys are braying about actually do what they preach. We have enough hot air. We need some f'n ACTION.

The graph looks like it is flipping the bird.

It is still a worthy conversation, which Old Dog did in an another thread today.  Created this kind of silly poll to stimulate some discussion, which I personally think has done its job.  As long most conservatives agree on the big ideas, tinkering around the margins and having polite disagreements is certainly expected.  Our political philosophy is not to march in lock-step agreeing on damn near anything, like the Nazi Libs.
