Do you have respect for the members of Congress??...

they serve a purpose. some deserve my respect, some dont

Nope, most seem to be a bunch of slackers only interested in being re-elected.

Some of them but not others

They don't do the job they were hired to do. If they were working in the private sector and had job performance like they do they'd have all been fired long ago.

One:

Some yes and some no -

Ah, excuse me? What.
Respect.
Congress.
I can't even use the two words in the same sentence.

NO.

QUIT voting on bills regulating a woman's crotch and pass some JOBS bills, dammit!

Congress makes jobs? They truly "didn't make that."

nor anyone else in politics ,their all a bunch of liars and crooks.

Not anymore. They are not doing their job. They just let Obama bypass them. They are the only people who could make him go by the laws.

For the most part...NO. Congressional ratings are almost if not in the single digit range. This says it all. If it were not for congress Obama's rating would have more weight.

Some. I like my guy well enough that he has me rethinking my term limits stance.

Professional politicians need to go. They need to have set terms like the president. We need some independent body to watch over them. They are spoiled. They are arrogant. They are self Serving. When caught in a crime they should do double the time a non politician would do. No I'm not pissed - just very disappointed.

Some of them, yes. I respect Paul Ryan and Allen West a great deal, just to name two.

Others, no. It depends on the person.

Only the Republicans - dumbocraps - NO!!
Hey wait, should government pay for birth control?? Is THAT what is taking away the woman's rights??! Gosh, wait, I really like good wine.........I think government should pay for that.......are you kidding me........people/women, get some backgone, stand up and pay for your OWN ##&*@ng birth control.....take some personal responsibility. OMG, what a concept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT sounds more l ike the republicans!

I wish I lived in Ron Paul's District in Texas. Now he's a good man, the rest of them I couldn't really care less if they all died tomorrow aside from a small handful.

..I don't know about the rest of 'em, but MY congressman is a corrupt, useless, two-faced scumbag (..his name is scott tipton R-CO..)

But not the republicans. They vowed to do everything in their power to make Obama a one term president. They have blocked everything he put on the table. They have done nothing but try and take away the rights of women.

Especially when they went on a 5 week break while Americans were struggling. I doubt anyone can be on a break that long and still getting paid

If I where to meet a Congressman or Woman in person. I would show them respect.

Not The Republicans

no

Not the obstructionists who put party above policy - regardless of which party they support.

Amen.

I have consistently watched the live feed from both the House and the Senate this year, almost every day and I can say that when Mitch McConnell stated in November 2010 that "this is the beginning of the defeat of President Obama", he was declaring war by the GOP to defeat any and all legislation that would be construed as beneficial to Obama even at the expense of the American public. I'll bet that there were over a hundred votes this year to close debate and block any voting on very legitimate bills. What we really need in Congress to prevent this same scenario from continuing is to have term limits on all Congress member, outlaw lobbyists, remove the "freedom of speech" to corporations thus removing PACs, and limit election support to only money provided but the federal government to all candidates in equal amounts thus eliminating a candidates ability to "buy" an election and hopefully it would result in more parties being about to run a viable race.

Not the members who exempt themselves from the rules they push on Americans. They need to be on the health care bill that they shoved on us. Some politicians are ok but they get corrupted along with the rest. Too much self importance and too little for the people.

Looking forward to seeing some new faces there soon.

I wont go to calling then names and such but until they start working for the people I have no respect for them

None

Welcome back!

respect yes but that dont mean I like what they have done.They should be put in jail.

Just only a handful and most need to be impeached, jailed and voted out!!

I only have respect for Dennis Kucinich who will be leaving and Martin Heinrich who will also be leaving. Happy to say Heinrich will hopefully win the senate seat!

most of them are there to serve their own self interest and not the people they are supposed to represent. its sad that their constituents don't understand that simple fact.

The people that represent my state have been driving it into the poor house for decades. How many more cities out here go bankrupt before they wise up is anyones guess.

so sad, they are. no respect for them.

They are all aholes.

I respect their office, but there are very few members of Congress that I respect personally. VERY few.
