138. And that right there shows the big difference between the parties

Democrats usually remove their crazy lunatics in the primary. I can't think of anyone nearly as downright bat-shit crazy on the Democrat side currently serving in the House or the Senate as say Bachmann and Goehmert.

In the GOP, the crazy ones run for president - and actually have a shot at winning the nomination (Santorum held on for a while and even Bachmann was running strong at first) or run for the Senate and get nominated (Angle, O'Donnel, etc) usually going on to defeat in the general election.
