Just list 1 or 2 lawyers or politicians that, if they disappeared, you think would make the world a better place...
It would be a long list.
To keep things simple, I'd suggest putting all divorce lawyers, and ambulance-chasing no-win-no-fee scum against a wall and shooting them. As for politicians, most are of the same vile ilk, but I'd reserve the terminal solution for any who'd supported measures to restrict my personal freedom.

most, if not all, politicians support measures to restrict your personal freedom.

I need no list, because I wish they'd all disappear. I wish the entire material system would disappear. I wish money, technology, politics, and industry would all disappear. I wish nations, religions, would disappear. I wish for a return to a non-domesticated lifestyle, small tribal communities that existed before ancient Sumeria, before "civilization".

I dunno whether Fred Phelps would count, but he has too much political influence.
The only influence he has that I'm aware of is that people pay attention to him for being so inflammatory. I know of no politicians on the left or right on whom he has any direct influence. Pat Robertson or James Dobson (and not long ago Ted Haggard and Jerry Falwell) are better examples of religious leaders who have an inordinately large amount of political influence.
There has been only one person in politics whom I have absolutely despised-Mike Huckabee. It'd be a tragedy, in my opinion, if this socially-primitive man was elected president. He actually wanted to change the Constitution to make it conform to Biblical standards! Disgusting!
