D) Many are in their last terms as members of Congress; or

E) All Of The Above.

* The original word "embers" was a typo, but on reflection that might be a apt description.




If you answered All of the Above you are correct. Given a choice between nearly all Americans, including 61% of their own party, and an unpopular lame duck President this crowd of cluesless Representatives chose to support the President and the brain dead ideology of Heritage Foundation. If your representative is on the list you might ask him or her why.

Extra credit if you can tell us why Dennis Kucinich is on the list.
