is there ANY Democrat you wouldn't vote for over *?

[ButterflyBlood]

And I don't mean out of the 9, I mean period. Zell Miller? Fred Phelps? Lyndon LaRouche? Ralph Hall? Jim Traficant?

1. I'm in the ABB (Anyone But Bush) camp.....

I would vote for Elmo, or Ralph Cramdon, or Fred Flinstone. THOSE candidates wouldn't have an agenda that I'm adverse to follow. It's really a weird choice when you are dealing with 'negatives' (I'd vote for them b/c they dont' stand for anything I disapprove of....*sigh*)

on edit: defining what ABB meant in the subject line

2. I honestly think...

...I'd vote for ANYONE to keep that maniac out of our white house! I'm not kidding. This guy is so much more than just an awful president; he's a squatter who's taken the US hostage and is destroying anything that was good and fair and decent about this country.

3. It depends who is running against them...

I would vote for mccain before I voted for lieberman, gephardt, sharpton and possibly kerry (although I haven't really made my mind up about kerry yet).

I would vote for bush before I voted for lieberman, simply because if it comes down to a race between bush and lieberman, things obviously haven't gotten bad enough for people to start paying attention.

however, if it comes down to lieberman, bush or a third party candidate, I would vote for the third party candidate. But since I would have voted for bush if the third party candidate wasn't in the race, my vote could not be interpreted as helping bush, because the third party candidate would actually be preventing me from voting for bush, so it would be one less vote that bush would get, so I would be indirectly helping lieberman.

4. what about the ones I listed?

if by some bizarre freak they were to get the nomination who would you vote for?

[uberotto]

5. The only other one that I'm familiar with...

is zell miller, and he would fall under the same category as lieberman. If it came down to a runoff between miller and bush, I would think that things have not gotten bad enough for people to pay attention to what is going on, so I would give bush four more years to really screw things up in the hope that he would screw things up so bad, it would lead to a new 40 year stretch of democratic control of the senate and hopefully a prolonged stretch of democratic presidents.

if you wonder why I would vote for bush, well, I believe that sometimes things have to get worse before they get better, and having a choice between miller and bush or lieberman or bush shows me that things still have a lot of room to get worse.

6. Lieberman.

Need I say more?

John

[jono]

7. LaRouche is not a Democrat. (n/t)

[ButterflyBlood]

8. well he's in the primary and is something like 4th in fundraising

I don't know how many states will put him on the ballot though.

[jono]

9. He should notify the nominating committee

Search for LaRouche at www.democrats.org:

10. Lieberman

I had some respect for him until I saw the debate tonight.

Each candidate was presenting not only their views, but their campaign strategy. Liberman's strategy, as far as I can tell, is to attack the other dems and plagarize Bush's speeches.

If Lieberman gets the nomination, I won't vote for him.

[sandnsea]

11. Not one

I'd vote for any one of them, any of them, over George Bush. He is an evil being.

[REP]

12. Hard Question

But yeah, I'd probably hold my nose and vote. Probably. I'm sure there's one so repellent that I'd just not vote at all in that case.

[dusty64]

13. All the ones you mention suck

and I WOULD vote third party. None will recieve the nomination however. Is there actually evidence that that sick fu*k phelps is really a Democrat, I doubt it (know he was one long ago).

[ButterflyBlood]

14. yep, look here

I also heard that the state Democratic party tried to keep him off the ballot but it was ruled in court that there's no reason he couldn't run since being a total asshole isn't neccesarily illegal.

[Walt Starr]

15. Yep, dozens at least

potentially hundreds.

One definitely in the current crop with the potential of four out of nine that I would not vote for.

Doesn't mean I'd vote for * but rather that I wouldn't vote for either major candidate.

16. Ralph Hall.

He's to Bush's right. An representative of a foul faction of the Democratic Party that, while helping to maintain our congressional majority for decades, has defected at a rate of 99% to the GOP. And I don't regret that shift.
