John Fleming US Rep for LA 4th district. Business owner and doctor. Extremely smart guy. I have met him several times and cannot think of a bad thing to say. I can agree with his voting record and I think he has a good sense for what it would take to get our country back in order. Will continue to support him.

ETA: My bad. Not a statewide elected official.

I don't agree at all with him helping push Stelly Tax through the Senate, but I do have respect for Dardenne.

Warren J. 'Puggy' Moity.
Why: Cause he gave you many jars of alum and absolutely no vaseline.

For TX:

Ted Cruz: no need to explain

Perry actually: i'm not madly in love with his actions across the board, but i can't count the amount of people i've met in the last few years that have moved here for jobs. Some didn't even have one, just came here because they knew they could find a job and do it without being taxed out the wazoo. He's a douche, but he's our douche.



i may or may not be trolling on one of those.

For Alabama, Jeff Sessions. He don't take no shite off furriners and pisses off all the right people. Sure he's pussed out on a few votes, but as long as he slings some red meat my direction every now and then, he'll be OK in my book.

Jay Dardenne

He's had decades of office-holding in multiple offices and I can't think of a single issue of concern that's ever been associated with him.

(Newser) – The Abortionplex, a fake business dreamed up by the Onion, has fooled quite a few naïve souls who were simply outraged when they read about it. Now you can add a Louisiana congressman to the list of people who, somehow, failed to figure out that the Abortionplex is a joke. Literally Unbelievable, a blog dedicated to people who take Onion articles as fact, has a screenshot of Rep. John Fleming's Facebook page, where he links to the Onion article with this note: "More on Planned Parenthood, abortion by the wholesale."

Sadly, while Fleming's page still features an impressive number of anti-Planned Parenthood posts, this particular one appears to have been removed. Lest you have forgotten who Fleming is, in September he whined about having to survive on just $600,000 per year, leading Jon Stewart to give him some budgeting tips. (After you watch that, click for some highlights from the Abortionplex's Yelp page.)

Rand Paul because I think he is trying to make things better.

Is my choice as well. Dardenne would make a great governor. Too bad he won't be able to raise the money. And it makes me sad that's where we're at as a country.

Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin. It took guts running on reforming public sector unions. He wasn't afraid of passing it and he could still lose because of it.

Rand Paul. I like that he's unafraid of going into the lion's den and speaking anywhere, whether it be MSNBC, Berkeley, Howard University or other liberal-leaning audiences. The only way you can expand a party is try to address those who may disagree with it now. Reagan was the last Republican to succcessfully do that.

He's the only insurance commissioner I can remember who hasn't ended up in prison.
