IF You Had The Power, Which Republican Candidate Would You Eliminate From the Race? And Why?
Each Republican Candidate has qualities which would make him unacceptable as our next President. However, one of them will likely become the Republican Nominee in 2008.

If you could eliminate one, and only one, which would it be? And why would you choose to eliminate this Republican Candidate?

1. Eliminate in what sense?
Prolly Ghouliani.

6. Agreed....Huckafuck is the most dangerous of them all.
I do not want a preacher for President.

And he has absolutely no World experience....when you have a guy talking about shooting animals and the angels guided his bullets to kill the animal....he is a nut.

8. Yep, the Huckster spooks me
Edited on Sun Dec-23-07 02:26 AM by RiverStone
I can't imagine a flat earther being elected; but then again Shrub's "ahh shucks" style won lots of good ol boys and girls over.
Huckabee's religion IS his politics. He's sees a pulpit not a podium - and longs to put one in every house.

Scary shit.

21. Huckabush
LOL - I agree and have been surprised that more hasn't been made of his speech to the NRA. I can't believe that his god doesn't have better things to do than assure that he "gets" his antelope.

4. Huckles.
Edited on Sun Dec-23-07 02:10 AM by Occam Bandage
Followed by:

Romney
Ghoul
Thompson
McCain
Hunter
Paul.

Now, I hate Paul more than any of the other Republicans, but he'd do so poorly in the general election it doesn't matter.

9. None of them. Not a single one. I'll probably pile up TONS of bad Karma for this, but...
...the spectacle of watching these ten burbling, toxic fools sling mud all over one another is the best cheap trashy fun I've seen since Pink Flamingos.

I seriously suspect John Waters has been producing the GOP debates.

Pass that cheese salt, willya?

evilly,
Bright

16. doubtful
Mcain/Fiengold and his poor stance on gun rights have removed him as being a viable repuclican candidate, no matter how admirable his service record is.

12. McCain, because he's the only one with a chance to win.
All the others are not electable against a decent dem nominee, for different reasons.

15. Oh fuck McCain. He doesn't have a chance in hell.
People want OUT of this war, not more into it.

McCain. Pfffffft!

17. Huckabee - because he's American Taliban aka Religious Extremeist
This country SHOULD have learnt by how, that religious extremeists of ANY kind are DANGEROUS. But - well, we apparently don't learn fast or well and the lessons, once learnt, are not retained (IF they're even grokked to start with). We keep having to fight the same damned battles over and over.

18. Its so hard to pick only one
But I would have to say Huckabee.
He wears his total pig ignorance of science like a medal of honor.
And I'm quite sure it would be religious conversion by force if he were to achieve the White House.
Truth be told, I would like to see the whole lot of them disappear.
None of these fascist b*stards could be trusted as a dog catcher, much less President of the United States.

20. McCain would be the hardest to beat in the general.
I still think we'd win, but we wouldn't gain as much ground in Congress.

Unless our nominee was Edwards. ;-)

22. Giuliani would damage the country the most. He might complete the fascist shift Bush has bungled.
