Who would you absolutely NOT vote for? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

To go along with the "Who would you vote for" poll, I thought it would be interesting to consider the flip side. With all of the "Anyone but Bush" bumper sticker's last cycle, and the Hillary ones this time around, I thought it would be interesting to know who you all are so adamantly against, that you would show and vote for the other guy just because you were so against the other candidate(s).

I'm sorry, but after Hillary Clinton's 100% nauseating, completely bogus crying escapade, I'd rather eat a heaping pile of donkey feces than check her off in a ballot box.

On the other side, I also find Huckabee's religious convictions to be equally as nauseating, but I don't find him as disgusting as a whole as I do "The Hillster".

I would never vote for any of the Republican candidates. McCain is a snake, and although I find Huckabee to be a very likable fellow, I think his politics would be disastrous. For every problem there is a solution that is simple, understandable and wrong, and that solution is Ron Paul.

If Hillary were to get the nomination, I'd unenthusiastically vote for her. I wouldn't vote for Nader because I reject one-issue politicians, and I still blame him for imposing Bush upon us--unfairly perhaps, but there it is.

McCain is a coot, Huck is a zealot, and Paul is a radical. I'd vote against any and all of them.

I'd vote against either Hillary or Huckabee, I believe, if their opponents were McCain or Obama, respectively. I think I got that right. Well...I *might* vote for Hillary over McCain if it comes to that...but to me that's really a shit sandwich for me and it wouldn't come down to voting against either one, as much as it would voting for the probably affect on the Supreme Court nominations. Are you asking who we vote against in a vacuum, or in the more general sense that involves administrations and the probable affect on legislation? I would never vote for a religious fundamentalist, and I'd have a hard time voting for an implicit condonement of the oligarchical implications of another Bush/Clinton candidate. I don't consider myself a Democrat, but I really really don't want a Republican administration in office. It kind of sucks - if the candidate weren't tied to party affiliation, I'd vote against Hillary or Huckabee.

I put down Huckabee and Nader. They're both way too religious, but very different religions. And I think they both are vanity candidates.
