John Dingell

John Dingell, has been in the House of Representatives since 1955 and is its longest serving member. He’s one of the more liberal representatives. But it’s his longevity that really makes him a stand out. 27 terms–longer than the intrepid Senator Robert Byrd.

Ben Nelson

UPDATE: Ben Nelson has joined a whole host of others who have sold their vote against the wishes of those who elected them.  If you’re for the “government option” for health care, he’s sold you out.  If you’re against government intrusion in our health care system, he’s sold you out.  It’s time to not reelect [...]
