Poll question: Incompetent Democrat vs. competent Republican: Who do you pick?

[Sanity Claws]

1. Competent Republican?

Isn't this a contradiction in terms, kind of like military intelligence?

[dogman]

2. Is this the 1988 Senate election in Connecticut?

If only that could be redone.

3. You do not give enough information..a competant employee who steals

or an imcompetant employee who does not? They could both cost the company the same amount of money..

You have not given us enough clues ..an compentant repug..competant in what exactly? Deciet? Stealing? Please you must give more information!

6. Hopefully if the idiot's a real screwup he won't do any real harm.

A really competent Republican--that's scary.

Alright, let me add that I might vote for a fiscally conservative, socially liberal or even moderate Republican if he or she seemed a stand up guy/gal if only because I believe in preserving endangered species and true fiscal conservative Republicans who want nothing to do with the religious nut cases are as rare as the spotted owl.

7. Incompetent = ineffective = not able to cause damage (Hippocrates redux)

An incompetent polician will be ineffective and less capable of causing damage OR of doing any good.

"As to diseases,
make a habit of two things—
to help, or at least do no harm."
--- Hippocrates, The Epidemics

8. That's when I vote Green

Actually, I would depend on the Republican. I'm fair enough to take them one at a time. Typically, most of them are nowadays right wing morons who make excuses for war criminals.

So, if it's between a crooked Democrat and a typical Republican, I'll vote Green.

9. I would elect a rock over a Neo-Con any day...

10. No excuse for being Republican in todays political climate.

To be a competent Republican means you are competent at pandering to a base made of racists, homophobes, xenophobes, elitists, looney Fundamentalists. A person could be damn good at keeping these various groups happy and that would not make them a good politician in my book.

11. I'm not voting in this poll, but...

...we used to have a Republican governor here named Jay Hammond, who a lot of us liked very much (his Permanent Fund idea could probably have a lot to do with that). He just never seemed like a Republican to me at all, a wonderfully folksy guy, man of the people, very approachable, and now that he's older, kind of reminiscent of Santa Claus. I think he's one of the rare ones, though.

13. Incompetent Dem - even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

A Repub never is.
