Mary Bono Mack

Mary’s positions on the issues aren’t what get our attention. It’s that she’s served more terms than is reasonable. She’s served more than one. The other item, although not as disconcerting to us at TfTL as her multiple terms, is that she voted for the recent climate bill in spite of great opposition from the majority of her constituents.* She didn’t represent them or the values of her party. Of course, independence is good to a point. In this case, she joined the lemmings and ran off the cliff.**

Republican House Turncoats

UPDATE: The New York Times has some great infographics on the climate change bill.
8 Republicans voted for the climate change bill that just passed the House. We will be showcasing them in the upcoming week. None of them deserve reelection for voting for this completely unconstitutional bill.

Howard Coble

Howard Coble resumes our attorney-cum-congressman list. This Republican has been serving for 24 years. Plenty of time for him to realize that being a congressman isn’t a career. We need to help him learn this lesson and not reelect him.

Joe Barton

Joe Barton breaks our Democrat streak of 7 as the next representative we wish to not reelect. Not only is he unique as a Republican, he’s also not an attorney (it’s been a while since we said something about that). This engineer has been in congress for 24 years.

Dan Burton

Dan Burton breaks the attorney mold. He is was an insurance/real estate agent. He’s also relatively popular, regularly getting over 60% of the vote. I’d ask the good citizens of his district to reconsider.

Tom Coburn

Senator Dr. Coburn also has been diagnosed by TfTL with early stages of serial legislator. He served as a member of the House of Representatives for three terms prior to being elected to the Senate. We’re hoping to cure him in 2010 of this terminal disease (not terminal for him, but for the country).

Richard Burr

Let’s nip this in the bud. We don’t need serial legislators in the halls of the Senate. Let’s make sure that Richard Burr sees he’s becoming one and decides to not run because he’s going to be successfully challenged in the Republican primary!

David Vitter

Scandal plagued David Vitter has announced that he is running for re-election in 2010. He’s still popular with the Louisiana voters. But we’re concerned that he, like so many of his colleagues, has become a serial legislator. He’s been in the House of Representatives and before that, the Louisiana House of Representatives.

Jim Bunning

In major league baseball history there have been only 17 perfect games pitched. In 1964 Jim Bunning pitched a perfect game. Unfortunately for us, he’s not pitched a perfect legislative record. We don’t mean what he has sponsored or how he has voted, but rather how many times he’s run for office.

Chuck Grassley

Iowa’s Senator Chuck Grassley is the most senior Republican senator in the US Senate. This serial legislator has served in the Iowa legislature and in the House of Representatives. He has listed his occupation as “politician”. That alone is reason enough to not reelect him.
