Do you believe there are any GOP candidates that could possibly be worse than G.W.Bush?
Have we hit the low water mark?

Can anyone possibly damage this country and this world more than he?

McInsane scares me most of all. I think he's nuts and a warmongering fool.

31. Agreed.
He has nothing but the war to run for.

Bush is just dumb and manipulated. Guliani won't need to be manipulated.

4. Oh definitely!
The path has been paved, and all it takes now is even a moderately evil politician to exploit it fully.

7. Huckabee. That dumb-fuck hayseed with a "flat consumption tax" plan. . .
would FLATTEN our nation's ecomony quicker than Bushco is doing.

Plus, he thinks science is a crock.

9. Let's see
Romney wants to double Guantanamo Bay.

Giuliani's new ad out-Tancredos Tancredo. And say goodbye to free speech.

Huckabee will create a new generation of dog torturers.

McCain could actually get things done. Since he is a Republican, this would of course be a bad thing.

Thompson, on the other hand, would not be able to get things done, since that interferes with naptime.

And Paul would essentially destroy the United States of America, because it's unconstitutional.

10. Guiliani
He'd like nothing more than another attack on the US, is a warmongering nutjob eager to invade Iran, and pretty much is W but with more brainpower - which only makes him more dangerous.

He is my worst nightmare.

11. McCain scares me the least. He simply looks too sick to last -
yet it terrifies me to think any of these bottom feeders could slime out of the pond and come into the made bed of a weakened constitution and augmented unchecked power.
IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY

12. Fuckabee
From his theocratic leanings, to his rape-is-ok-if-the-victim-is-a-Clinton-and-women-should-submit-to-men-anyway, to his super-regressive sales tax scheme, Huckabee is horrendous!

and he's enough of a snake oil salesman to get (s)elected too.

15. Giuliani or Ron Paul
Giuliani because he seems to have a God complex and he's a contemptible human being.

Ron Paul because he wants to gut government social programs, environmental regulations, etc., and give all the money back to those poor rich people who own large corporations. Not to mention that he seems to be a racist.

21. really? thought he would subcontract that lake drainage
to a foreign company then sell the water to the highest bidder. Then would bus in mexicans using temp work visas to pick up fish at a pay rate of two fish heads per hour. After that halliburton would open up its own sea food subsidary cutting out the chinease competition.

*warning* do not eat the fish

17. GWB: The Perfect Storm
None of them have the arrogance, the stupidity, the lacking of curiosity of the world around them, the tendency to appt. unqualified cronies to key sensitive positions, credibility issues, and the knack of making really stupid uninformed decisions (bad judgment) as GWB.

GWB is a Perfect Storm.

But I must say that Thompson might be almost as bad in his arrogant attitude. And Huckleberry and Ghouliani are almost as stupid.

McCain is the only decent one, except for his positions on issues. Still, he's in a different class from the others.

18. Never say never...
:scared: GWB is pretty horrible, but every time I think he can't get any dumber or screw things up any more, he does, so I'm not going to say another Repub couldn't be worse.

For the record, though, Romney makes me sick. :puke: (I mean, most of the others do too, but every time I see his face I want to :puke: .)

23. Giuliani & Romney
Bush was really too lazy to really do the kind of damage Giuliani and Mitwit can do.

McCain is pretty nuts but I don't think conservatives will put much effort into getting out to vote for him. He'll be like Bob Dole in 1996.

29. No way. Shrub is the absolute worst. The vilest piece of scum.
No Repuke now is as bad as he is. That helps them, no doubt.

things he has been saying.

34. Bush is an 'All-in-One' package. He's all things to all people.



I think Romney would meet or exceed Smirky's tendency to lie and exaggerate.

I think Thompson would meet or exceed Smirky's level of utter stupidity.

I think Giuliani would meet or exceed Smirky's talent for dirty dealing.

Smirky possesses all the traits rethuglicans hold near and dear.

This must be why they elected him twice.
