I kind of hesitate to actually say that about any of them because everybody, including me, naturally rationalizes what they believe as being in the best interests of the country. Even Al Capone thought he was good for America. Rich, enormously powerful, and dangerous to cross, there are only two or three that I can name right now that I would invite into my house for discussions. The rest can stay on the porch. However, I have not really been paying close attention to the goings on in Congress for the last decade or so, I've been busy. All I really know is that I am not impressed with the end results I have been seeing. The rest is inference.

For the most part, many of them are but none fit that category better than all the slimeballs who work for the Bush Administration.

It would be easier to name the ones that aren't more interested in their political career. Ron Paul.

Well based on the statement of absolute power corrupting absolutely, I would say all of them.

Take all 535 of them and subtract about 15%; the remaining 85% meet your test and it'll take too long to list them here.

That's the answer.
