If Colbert were to run as a third party candidate against Obama and Romney, who would you vote for?

[boxman15]

I don't know who I'd vote for (Definitely not Mittens, though). I think Colbert would actually make a good president and his beliefs are more in line with mine than with Obama's, although I like PBO and think he's done a very good job as president overall.

Who would you vote for?

1. As a principled conservative, Colbert would run far to the right of Romney. I'd vote for Obama.

7. Great answer.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. That is the perfect answer to this question.

And the perfect smilie!

You win the thread.

2. I'd love to know how you know what Colbert's beliefs are

He's an ACTOR, a COMEDIAN. What is his position, his true position, on anything. You haven't a clue. You just think you do.


And for the record, I'd vote for Obama since voting for Colbert is effectively voting for Romney (it gives Obama one less vote in a race to see who gets the most votes - a zero sum competition.)

5. He's an ACTOR

Arent they all?

3. Democratic candidate or 3rd party? Is this what you are asking? Which Colbert do you mean?

[ret5hd]

4. why cain, of course!

[cbayer]

6. Colbert is doing what he is doing to support Obama, imo.

He is not going to run for anything.

"Vote Herman Cain!!"

8. Vermin Supreme already won my vote.

And no, my new pony Sprinkles who mysteriously appeared in my yard has NOTHING to do with it. Nothing at all.

9. Obama. In the GOP primary, I would vote for Colbert, but in the general it would be Obama.

Colbert doesn't WANT the job. He just wants to fuck with the morons in the GOP (that's redundant, isn't it).

10. This question is nonsense.

You'd give serious thought to voting for a comedian against the President?

Please!

[WI_DEM]

11. this is a serious question? Obama--Romney I detest--Colbert is using this as a publicity stunt

for his show (and it's a lot of fun) but is as serious a candidate as Pat Paulson was.

[robtish]

13. In the primary or a general election?

In the primary, Colbert. In the general, Obama.

[auburngrad82]

14. Obama nt

[Armin-A]

15. HERMAN CAIN!

[mzteris]

16. Colbert's a comedian

and a showman.

Actually you don't know what he's REALLY THINKING - because nearly everything he says/does is for his "schtick". I've only seen him once or twice "out of character" and while I THINK he's probably more left than right and probably a pretty smart guy, I hardly think he's capable of being the President.

It would have to be extremely extra-ordinary circumstances for me to ever vote for a Republican. (And I'd probably have to be severely impaired. . .)
