If hell froze over and you HAD to vote for a republican who would it be?

[southernleftylady]

Just wondering if you HAD to vote for a repuke .. which one would you vote for and why?
edit to add LIVING repukes people living...

[rateyes]

1. I'd write-in

Satan. He's got to better than any of the other Republicans.

[MethuenProgressive]

16. Abbot Pendergast.

Old friend, only one I ever voted for.

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. Romney

He's pandering and slimey and will say anything to anyone - but at least he's sane.

[SoFlaJet]

20. agreed

he gets no credit from the MSM even though he keeps winning or coming in a strong second-he's the John Edwards version of the republican party

[Orangepeel]

26. Of the Rs running, I think Romney would do the least damage if he got in

The people of MA might disagree, but it looks to me like his primary objective is to be liked, regardless of what he has to say for that. With a Democratic House and Senate, I think Romney would do less harm to the country than the other republicans running.

[adapa]

63. 'Cuz "he's an empty suit"? To quote my Mass friends

[randymaine]

68. Romney would invade Iran in order to be re-elected

How could he be re-elected if not by pandering to the extreme right?

[NMDemDist2]

3. i'd show an undervote on my ballot n/t

[unpossibles]

4. Jeez, I am not sure I could, in all honesty

And I am not a party-zealot, but I can't stand any of them right now. Paul or McCain are almost not-crazy compared to the rest, but I still could not do so with a clean conscience I don't think.

Sorry.

[rurallib]

5. One can safely say the list would be quite short

I assume you are limiting this to living Republicans?
Jim Leach is the only one that comes to mind that is living.
Were Eisenhower alive, he would be my choice.

[unpossibles]

6. well, yeah - I'd consider Ike or Lincoln I guess

maybe one or two others.

[still_one]

7. I would NEVER vote for a republican

I also most likely will not vote for President this year

[rurallib]

17. Not voting will help out the republiKlans.

And maybe one of them will be filling the 3 or 4 SCOTUS openings that may come up.

[still_one]

28. You are certainly entitled to your view. These debates opened my eyes /nt

[rurallib]

65. Well if you think there will be no difference between a

president Romney and a president Obama. While I am not happy about it I think you can see one is much worse than another.

[liberal N proud]

8. I would light a big bonfire to thaw out hell

Because I will NEVER vote for a Repbulicon.

NEVER!

[calico1]

9. Giuliani

He is for gun control, abortion rights and gay rights. And he's not a holy roller.

Then I'd go take a very hot shower.

[THUNDER HANDS]

25. I hope you like having your phones tapped and cameras watching you

because that's Guiliani's America.

zero privacy.

[calico1]

42. Um.....

The question was "if hell froze over and you HAD to vote for a Repbublican..."

I don't think Hell is going to freeze over any time soon.


Of course I don't plan to vote for Giuliani. :eyes:

[Dhalgren]

10. Well of course I would refuse to vote. But assuming I HAD to,

I would probably vote for Giuliani. Just because of his positions on Choice and Gay rights...

[gratuitous]

11. I dunno - Huckabee?

Regardless, my next move would be to do something else I've never done, and that would be to purchase an arsenal of weaponry and as much ammo as I could possibly buy.

[Demeter]

12. A DEAD One

That way I'd know he wasn't doing any harm.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. H. Clinton

well, ok, a rehab'd former republican

:hide:

[Perky]

18. Dammit you beat me to it

[peace13]

37. OK .

I guess I would have to hop on her peace train too. If it came to that!

[Debi]

51. Yup. n/t

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. I would not vote. I would go ice skating instead. NT

[Hepburn]

15. I am 60 years old and...

...in any and all elections I have NEVER voted for a Republican and NEVER will.

Sorry, but there are somethings that no matter what, I just CANNOT do!

[MNDemNY]

19. Nixon.....'cause he's dead.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

21. Nixon/Reagan '08

nt

[MNDemNY]

22. I'm with ya!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

31. Kissinger as Secretary of State...

No. What. He's still alive, isn't he? Well, scratch HIM off the list!

[MNDemNY]

32. Ford will work here.

[Demeter]

62. Kissinger's Not Eligible, Thank God. He Wasn't Born Here

Do you not remember the Doonesbury Cartoon about that?

The Chinese girl Honey is attending Kissinger's lecture at Harvard, and she mentions his great sense of humor, how he wishes he'd been born in the US so he could run for President,and she thinks he's joking? It was back in the late 70's, early 80's.

[Kokonoe]

23. Fred Thompson

Was instrumental in bringing down nixon by helping batched cover ups. And lazy, might go on a seven year nap.

[Kokonoe]

49. Never mind he just quit

My endorsement is always the kiss of death. Oh well:dilemma:

[Egnever]

24. Hillary!

[TheUniverse]

27. Ron Paul.

He would end the war in Iraq. His domestic policy sucks, but he would refuse to comprimise with the Democratic Congress, and there would be an effective 4 year stalemate, which is certainly better than 4 years of going in the wrong direction.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

47. lol! great minds think alike!

See reply #46. :D

[rateyes]

29. Abraham Lincoln.

Last decent Republican that ever served. On the other hand, seeing as how he is dead, I don't see that there would be much change from the brain-dead guy in the Oval Office right now.

[TheUniverse]

30. Not a teddy Roosevelt fan?

[rateyes]

33. I like his 5th cousin and his neice's husband much better. nt

[TheUniverse]

40. Not a Lincoln Chafee fan?

[gaspee]

34. Lincoln Chafee (NT)

[Az_lefty]

35. Ron Paul, the RAT's deserve him.

[terrya]

36. Nelson Rockefeller

He's dead, I know, but that's the only one that comes to mind.

[Mika]

38. I'd vote for Reagan.

That way his corpse would change the direction of America - again.

:sarcasm:



-

[Hugabear]

39. I'm assuming that there would be a gun pointed at my head

In which case I'd just ask which Rethug puke they wanted me to vote for.

There's no other reason I would ever vote for a Rethug.

[pscot]

41. Abe Lincoln

The rest of them can go fuck themselves.

[4nic8em]

43. Joe Lieberman

[harun]

44. Hillary Clinton (n/t)

[Nimrod2005]

45. Romney or McCain...

[Viva_La_Revolution]

46. Ron Paul

He would get us out of Iraq, and not much else, cause the Dem. Majority in Congress would block all of his crazy ideas. And the Repugs hate him. :)

[BringEmOn]

48. I think Hillary edged out Obama last night, for me.

[LeftishBrit]

50. Tony Blair - but ONLY with a gun at my head!

[readmoreoften]

52. Well, if Edwards doesn't get the nod, I'll vote for the Republican with the (D) after their name.

Nah, I won't vote for Obama.

[Tom Rinaldo]

53. For Prez? Maybe Hagel. And I know about the voting machines...

...but you are threatening me with Hell after all. It would probably take at least that much.

I used to say Pete McCloskey but he converted to being a Democrat this past year. This was an easier question to answer about ten years ago.

[cloudythescribbler]

54. Pete McCloskey

[bluedawg12]

55. Is the Devil running as an independent? n/t

[Yael]

56. Barack Obama?

:P

:popcorn

[LibraLiz1973]

57. Taking the question as asked seriously, I would vote for Romney.

He's an AWFUL candidate, yet somehow the least offensive of the 382 Republicans who are running.

[Occam Bandage]

58. I don't.

[Kucinich4America]

59. Ron Paul.

At least he's right on some things, as opposed to wrong on everything like the other Repukes.

[CyberPieHole]

60. B.H. Obama...but only because he would finish off the damage started by W.

[martymar64]

61. Eisenhower

The least offensive Republican in the past century. He warned us about the Military Indstrial Complex that today is embraced fully by the leading candidates of both parties.

If he was alive, he'd be disgusted with the entire lot. A pox on both houses!

[adapa]

64. I voted for a republican once. He's serving time in a Federal Prison.

Needless to say I've learned my lesson.

[bidenista]

66. Ron Paul...

because of the war.

What worries me is that if RP does eventually go third party, his war stance will siphon off at least as many Dem votes as his domestic policy stances will siphon off Repubs.

[IndianaGreen]

67. There are only two Republicans I would vote for, and they are both long gone and dead

Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

As to living Republicans, or anyone else that shares their militaristic and imperialistic ideology to any degree, I just as soon skip the Presidential part of the ballot and vote for my local candidates.

[rasputin1952]

69. For starters, no one would have the guts to put a gun to my

head to make me vote R.

But satan wold be better than these clowns...oh wait a minute, satan can't run again, the Constitution limits him to 2 terms...:evilgrin:
