The Best:

Ron Paul (R)- Congressman from Texas who has been called, “the Thomas Jefferson of our time.” One of only a handful of constitutionalist American politicians in the last decade. Over his 20+ years in Congress, Paul has the most ideologically consistent voting record in the history of American politics. Throughout his career, Ron Paul has shunned lobbyists, which is both noble and extremely rare in Washington these days. Paul is a military veteran and the founder of the Liberty Movement. Several of his books have become bestsellers including End the Fed and The Revolution: A Manifesto.

Judge Andrew Napolitano- A libertarian who espouses the principles of truth, justice, liberty, and constitutionality in America. Napolitano was recently fired from his show Freedom Watch on FOX for espousing his libertarian views and his support of Ron Paul.

Dennis Kucinich (D)- Congressman from Ohio who introduced articles of impeachment against Dick Cheney in 2007 and George W. Bush in 2008 for their involvement in the invasion of Iraq. Kucinich has opposed foreign adventurism throughout his career, including a strong opposition to the US campaign in Libya and the potential invasion of Iran. Kucinich also voted against the Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, and the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act.

Gary Johnson (I)- New Mexico Governor and strong libertarian opposed to excessive government. Governor Johnson holds the record for vetoing unnecessary legislation in New Mexico. During his tenure as governor he fired more than a thousand government employees and has recently advocated for the legalization of marijuana.

Peter Schiff- Talk show host and business man who warned Americans about their destructive economic policies well in advance of the 2008 financial collapse. Schiff was an economic advisor to Ron Paul during his 2008 presidential campaign. Schiff is the host of the Peter Schiff show, which espouses reason to unreasonable Americans. A noble and frustrating endeavor to be sure.

John Stossel- Investigative journalist who exposes hypocrisy and corruption in America. John is one of the few American journalists who examines the flaws and waste of a big government trying to “help people.” In addition to writing books and winning numerous awards, Stossel has produced some of the finest and most informative shows on the airwaves including Illegal Everything (video below) and No They Can’t.

Lee Whitnum (D)- Former Senate candidate for Connecticut and author of Anti-AIPAC Not Anti-Semitic. Although Whitnum never won office, she makes this list because her efforts have raised awareness of AIPAC’s “unchecked power” in American politics, which led to the disastrous Iraq War, among other things. Whitnum has taken great personal risk to bring this issue to the forefront of American politics, launching a T.V. add featuring her opponent accepting money in exchange for his support of Israel.

Ben Swann- This fact-checking reporter is like a shark swimming in a media ocean of lies. Swann consistently takes politicians and media outlets to task for their blatant bias and hypocrisy.

Jesse Ventura-(I)

James Traficant (D)- Former Congressman from Ohio who risked his life and career to expose AIPAC/Israel’s control of American politics. In an interview with Shawn Hannity, Traficant revealed that many of his congressional colleagues were actually asking how Israel felt about a bill before voting on it. Traficant took the unpopular position of defending John Demjanjuk, an American who was about to be executed by the Israeli government due to a case of mistaken identity. After embarrassing Israel into releasing Demjanuk, Traficant made some very powerful enemies in the American-Israeli lobby which lead to his subsequent persecution for “corruption charges.” In an interview with Fox News, Traficant said he was approached about receiving a pardon if he admitted he was “guilty,” but told them to “shove their pardon up their derrière sideways.”

The Worst:

Chuck Schumer (D)- Senator from New York who, along with Senator Lindsey Graham, proposed National ID cards in 2010. One of the most anti-gun American politicians in history who is largely credited with the assault weapons ban and the Brady Bill. The New York Senator recently proposed legislation called the Ex-Patriot Act, which would make it impossibly onerous for American citizens to renounce their citizenship. Schumer is a Member of AIPAC, which is an organization that has been caught spying on America for Israel. In accordance with AIPAC principles, Schumer sacrifices America’s economic prosperity and security for Israel at every opportunity, including lobbying for the disastrous Iraq War.

Lamar Smith (R)-. US Representative from Texas who is one of the worst offenders in attempting to limit internet freedom. This despicable American actually sponsored the SOPA bill, which prompted a mass blackout of more than 7,000 websites in protest.

Lindsey Graham (R)- Senator from South Carolina who supported the bank bailouts in 2008. Graham is an ardent opponent of free speech saying, “Congress might need to explore the need to limit some forms of freedom of speech. And, “Free speech is great, but we’re in a war….During WWII, we had limits on what you could say if it would inspire the enemy.” Graham is one of the Big Three American War hawks. Along with McCain and Lieberman, Graham wants American troops stationed in Iraq for many more years to come and is also actively campaigning for the invasion of Iran and Syria. In 2012, Graham introduced a bill to the Senate that would pledge US troops and money to Israel, should Israel attack Iran. Lindsey Graham’s place on this list was secured by his proposal of a national ID card in 2010.

John McCain (R)- Senator from Arizona and serial war hawk. McCain falsely claimed that Iraq is, ”a clear and present danger to the United States of America” during the build up to war. He campaigned for interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and now wants wars in Syria and Iran as well. It’s hard to find a Middle Eastern country that McCain doesn’t want to invade for Israel’s interests. He also pushed for more American troops to be deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition, McCain was part of the Keating Five, who accepted money and private plane rides in exchange for political favors for Charles Keating (See Lincoln Savings and Loan Scandal).

Joseph Lieberman (I)- Senator from Connecticut and Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. Lieberman was one of the staunchest supporters of the Iraq invasion and the continued presence thereafter, and now supports wars in Iran and Syria, even though intelligence experts in America and Israel say those wars would disastrous for the world. Lieberman broke an earlier promise to support his fellow Democratic Presidential candidate and crossed party lines to endorse John McCain. Lieberman cited McCain’s zionist stance on the war on terror as his primary motivation. Lieberman has used his political position to guarantee billions of US tax dollars go to Israel every year while many Americans are living in poverty. Lieberman supported the greater use of security cameras by the federal government, and also tried to thwart congress in its attempt to investigate illegal wiretapping. Lieberman co-wrote the Kill Bill, which gives the President emergency powers over the internet. Joseph has abused his power to thwart whisteblowers, including demanding paypal, Visa, and Mastercard cut off all services to Wikileaks. Lieberman also sponsored the Enemy Expatriation Act, which allows the US to strip Americans of their citizenship even if they haven’t been convicted of a crime.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D)- Congresswoman from Florida who is known for two things: frequently getting caught lying to the American people and her co-sponsorship of the Stop Online Piracy Act.  If the video below is not enough to convince you of this woman’s disreputable nature, then read the full article here.

All American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Members: AIPAC was caught red-handed stealing American secrets in 2005 to give to Israel. Former AIPAC President David Steiner was secretly recorded talking about AIPAC’s control of American politics, as the link below proves. Among AIPAC’s list of accomplishments was its successful campaign for the Iraq War, which killed and wounded tens of thousands of Americans and a million Iraqis. AIPAC is currently campaigning for more disastrous American wars in Syria and Iran, which are clearly for Israel interests. AIPAC continually sacrifices American security, liberty, and money for Israel. Read the following article for a full summary of their treason: http://thebilzerianreport.com/?p=857

Jim Sensenbrenner (R)- Representative from Wisconsin who sponsored of the Patriot Act, which alone would be enough to get him on this list, but that is certainly not the only crime he has perpetrated against the American people. Jim actually trumped house procedure to end a meeting in which Democrats and Republicans were supposed to discuss the renewal of Patriot Act. Sensenbrenner actually shut down C-SPAN filming and told court reporter to stop taking notes when Democrats discussed human rights violations and the ongoing Iraq War. Like a child, he walked out of the meeting, turned of the microphone, and shut of the lights.

Alan Dershowitz- Harvard professor and lawyer who lobbies for the terrorist group Mujahideen-e-Khalq (M.E.K), which has killed Americans in the past. Dershowitz has attempted to white-wash Israeli war crimes and apartheid at every opportunity. He is one of the strongest supporters of the traitorous spy rings AIPAC and the ADL. Dershowitz is vehemently opposed to fire-arms ownership and supports repealing the Second Amendment.

President Barrack Obama (D)- Obama came to office with an excited and hopeful electorate eager for change. Just like Bush before him, Obama broke all of his promises and set out to destroy individual liberties and pile on public debt in epic proportions. Obama signed the NDAA, which allows the government to indefinitely detain or kill Americans. He extended the repeal of the Fourth Amendment act, otherwise known as the Patriot Act, even though we now know that more than 99% of the time the powers granted to the government in the Patriot Act are not being used to combat terrorism. Obama also signed the HR 347, or the Anti-Protest bill, which makes it a felony to peacefully protest in certain areas where there may be a secret-service-protected individual present. Obama supported bank bailouts, universal health care, and the dramatic expansion of the federal government’s power. He also presided over the militarization of the American police force and the crackdown on the peaceful Occupy Wall Street protestors.

George W. Bush (R)- Former President who pushed the Iraq War with faulty intelligence. His generally terrible record on civil rights was typified in his passing of the Patriot Act. Bush’s record will surely secure him a spot on “The Worst Presidents of All Time List.”

Abe Foxman: The National Director of the Anti-Defamation League who has denied and campaigned against the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, all while promoting the Jewish genocide. Foxman actually structured a deal with the FBI, which forces new agents to take a Jewish history course and attend a holocaust museum. Foxman presided over one of the worst cases of spying on Americans in the history of the nation (see the 1993 ADL scandal). Foxman’s Anti-Defamation League used its illegally obtained information to support the South African Apartheid by giving their government intelligence on American opponents of the apartheid regime. The ardent racist, Foxman, currently supports the Israeli Apartheid and uses his power and influence to cover up the human rights abuses of Palestinians. In addition, he falsely labels people anti-semitic in an effort to inhibit free speech.

Michael Bloomberg- Mayor of New York. Bloomberg who is on this list for numerous reasons, all of which are listed in the following article: http://thebilzerianreport.com/?p=681

Diane Feinstein (D)- Senator from California who co-sponsored PIPA, which was legislation that would have dramatically censored American’s ability to freely use the internet. Feinstein also voted for the extension of the Patriot Act and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act

Carl Levin (D)- Senator from Michigan who proposed to include a stipulation in the National Defense Authorization Act which allowed the government to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial or charges based solely on “suspicion of terrorism.”

Jane Harman (D)- Representative from California who used her position as the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee to cover up former President Bush’s warrantless wire-tapping program, even though she received intelligence that the program was used primarily for non-terrorist related investigations. She also voted for the Iraq war resolution and sponsored the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, which would allow the government to use the broad wording to classify peaceful protestors as terrorists. Many non-mainstream media outlets in the states were highly critical of the proposed legislation, even equating it to Senator Joseph McCarthy’s House Un-American Activities Committee. In 2006, Time magazine reported that Harman agreed to campaign to get the Justice Department to drop a case against two AIPAC employees who were caught red handed stealing American military secrets and passing them to Israel in exchange for her appointment as the chairwoman of the House Intelligence Committee. In 2009, CQ politics reported that Harman was actually caught on a NSA wiretap telling an Israeli agent she would “waddle into” the Department of Justice and lobby on the Israeli spies behalf. In 2007, Harman co-sponsored a bill (226) that would officially recognize the Armenian genocide. While this gave Harman, and the Jewish community in general, the appearance of supporting Armenian genocide recognition, she was simultaneously writing secret letters to members of congress asking them to withdraw the bill from consideration. One such letter to the House Foreign Relations Chair, Tom Lantos, exposed her hypocrisy when it was subsequently leaked to the press.

This is a working list. All suggestions about potential candidates to be included in this list should be made in the comment box or via email; they will all be researched and added if appropriate.
