Pure Speculation: You're A Republican

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

Poll question: Pure Speculation: You're A Republican

And John McCain's campaign melts down in the glare of a series of substantiated corruption charges.

So who do you want for your nominee -- Remember: YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN and answer accordingly

[Angela Shelley]

1. I would call in sick on election day.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

That's what prompted the poll...

There are no good options for the Republican Party. I think Arnold might be their best hope in terms of public approval and likeability -- but as I recall, he's not constitutionally allowed to be President. What's left?

[Redbear]

2. Brownback

very conservative. Gets the Dobsonites back in.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

6. The flaw in most post...

Conservative Republicans would love a Brownback candidacy, but the still-sane wing of the Party would be appalled.

I'm just saying that there's more than one constituency in the party.

[Zynx]

3. Ugh. Is a .45 caliber a choice?

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Olympia would never do it. And I'm not sure the more conservative folks would have her

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

13. She's got one of the highest "Net Approval" ratings

according the Survey USA. That's how she got on the list -- I have no idea if she would be interested. And the conservatives wouldn't like her.

Uppity Women!

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. She's said outright, I think, that she has no interest in the Oval office.

[jasmine621]

5. Hagel/Hunter. They could do much worse. nt

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

8. I totally forgot Chuck Hagel

He should have been on the list. I think he might be the guy they could go to if they wanted a chance.

But the movement conservatives don't like him for the whole "criticizing the war" thing.

[jasmine621]

35. He now is in good company criticizing the war.

those Independents would love him. I just hope the Rethugs try to stick with McCain. I believe there is more stuff to come out about him. He is perhaps the easiest Rethug to take on.

[opihimoimoi]

7. Them Pubs are Fucked...the Values Crowd are not so these daze what with wide ass Larry

and DeLayed still making lolo comments.

RON PAUL comes ALIVE as McCain goes down in FLAMES

Forget Ken Doll Mitt

and Arnie too...

Hucky is Yucky

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Kindasleezy

Oops forgot I was a republican - Condaleeza Rice.

[ashling]

10. Your premise is totallly incomprehensible

Remember: YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN and answer accordingly

I'm sorry, I can't get my head around this concept ... Your poll is giving me a migraine!
:rofl:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

14. Sorry...

Lie down with a cold cloth on your forehead.

And if you happen to lie down with a lobbyist, then you really ARE a Republican.

[ashling]

18. Gotcha!

?w=182&h=191&h=233

[Arugula Latte]

11. The rotted corpse of Abe Lincoln?

:shrug:

[annabanana]

12. Can't do it.... tried, but I just can't.

I can't begin to even imagine myself as a Republican. .At least not one of any recent vintage.

[eilen]

15. If I was a Republican who wanted a candidate that embodied

those qualities that the majority of conservative Rebpublicans endorse, I would entice Jack Kemp to step in from political retirement.

[flvegan]

16. 4 MORE YEARS OF DUBYA!!1! w00t!

You said I'm a Republican, therefore I'm stupid enough to both want and to expect I can have this.

GWB/Cheney 4-eva!

[krispos42]

22. They were chanting "4 more years" last week, weren't they?

:rofl:

They continue to replace IQ points with mindless Bush-worship.

[Redstone]

31. It's so FUCKING sad that, even though I didn't see that, I believe it happened.

Never, EVER underestimate the stupidity of an unfortuantely significant percentage of Americans.

Redstone

[krispos42]

37. And these people have driver's licences.

I think of FDR, and think "thank God he was able to serve more than two terms". I think of Clinton turning over the office in 2000 to Bush, and think "damn 22nd Amendment!" Then I think of Reagan and Bush and think "thank God for the 22nd Amendment!"

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

17. I'd vote the way all the Publicans here appear to be voting

Ron Paul

[Supersedeas]

19. Colin Powell or Condi??

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

21. Colin Powell is another glaring omission on my part...

He would have a chance -- but right now he has no organization. But neither do any of the others, really.

Condi? Who would actually want her? The KKK and Sexist wings of the Republican Party would never vote for her (that along covers a lot of ground).

[krispos42]

23. Other: Pappy Bush, Ron Paul, or perhaps Dick Cheney would decide to be the nominee after all

Gawd, is that problematic or what?

Cheney/Romeny '08
Bush/Tancredo '08
Paul/Hagel '08

Or Huckabee/Brownback '08

[ProgressiveFool]

24. You forgot Cat-Killer Frist!

Heck, he could take James Carville as his running mate, and we'd all just drink coke and smile for the rest of our lives.

[Uncle Joe]

25. Howard Baker. n/t

[Redstone]

26. You're asking: "As in, who would get EVEN ONE VOTE?" There ISN'T anyone!

God, I love this election season. The Repubs got NOTHING.

Redstone

[Ohio Joe]

27. If I were a republican...

I'd want Dick Cheney. Because maybe he would be so happy that someone suggested him that he might take me hunting and mercifully put me out of my misery.

[Drifter]

28. Gotta go with Mittens ...

for the PHlip PHlop of the century.

I want to be president
I give up
I want to be president again.

Cheers
Drifter

[FloridaJudy]

29. Ms. Snowe

Even as a Republican, I would still have some standards! I can't even imagine hating my fellow human beings enough to vote for any of the rest of those losers.

[Selatius]

30. If I were a Republican, I'd vote Ron Paul.

Of course, I'm not. I'm more of an anarcho-socialist. He's more of a "law of the jungle" anarcho-capitalist.

[StatGirl]

32. Hillary, and I don't mean this as a snark

If I were a Republican, I'd be a moderate/liberal Republican like the ones in the community that I grew up in.

If we lived in a universe that hadn't been totally derailed by the nutjobs, Hillary Clinton might also be such a moderate Republican. We'd both believe that government should provide strong social programs such as Social Security, as well as good infrastructure, because that's good for individuals *and* business. We'd be Eisenhower Republicans.

[FlyingSquirrel]

33. Schwarzenegger is not eligible. nt

[B Calm]

34. If I were a republican, I wouldn't vote!

[Swamp Rat]
