Which candidates running for office would make you stay at home on election Day?

Huckabee is the only one, as he is the only republican candidate I feel would really be as bad, if not worse, than any of the democrats.

[Sybeck1]

I will not vote for McCain or Huckabee.

There will possibly be two senators up on the Mississippi ballot. I will vote Republican there, also for the U.S Rep.

The President spot will be left empty.

[EVO X]

None of them. I'm not going to stay home and piss away my vote. Nor am I going to vote third party.

Voting third party kept Blagojevich in office in Illinois last election. Polls show they regret it now..

"Sending a message" is the surest way to achieve "unintended consequences".

Which Republican candidate running would make you stay at Home on election day?
I will still vote for local issues, but will never, ever vote for Guiliani if he is the nominee.

Which Republican candidate would make you cross over and vote for a third party?
If Hunter or Fred don’t make it, I might write in Hunter.

Which Republican candidate would make you cross over and vote for Hilary or Obama?
I would never, ever vote for the Beast or Hussein.

[tubebender]

I will never stay home on election day!!! The position of the President of United States is not the only item on a ballot...

[EVO X]

"Sending a message" is the surest way to achieve "unintended consequences".

It is almost as bad as not voting. One of my coworkers doesn't vote, but still complains about taxes..

[Gorzaloon]

Heck, I’d vote for Ron Paul before I’d stay home if Hillary is running.

I'd vote for Lenin. It's the same thing, and at least I never had to see the b@stard on TV 24/7.

[philetus]

None.
I want to be able to bitch about what a crappy job the next one will be doing.

Any one who doesn’t vote has no right to complain.

[DesScorp]

I wouldn’t vote for anyone in a third party...they all seem nuts to me.

Rudy or Ron Paul would make me stay home. I’m beginning to think Huckabee would keep me home too.

How to Vote

Well, Hillary is Satan,
Barack's the Antichrist,
McCain's a Manchurian Frankenstein,
Who knows from what he's spliced?

Now, Thompson may be acting,
The Huck, I fear, is not.
And Mitt could gain more votes, I guess,
If folks knew what they got.

With all these for my choices,
Just how I vote seems moot,
I'd rather see the office held,
By Reagan's empty suit.

I once voted for Ross Perot because of Bush’s Read my Lips Pledge—see what we got? Clinton. I will never vote Third Party again. I will vote for the Republican Nominee and hope the party picks someone with at least half a brain.
I am not pleased with George “Mexico” Bush but even on his worst day he’s done a better job than old Al Gore would have done. Imagine President Al Gore on 9-11? Nightmare City! Now, if I had to pick between Hillary and Obama—I would still not stay home or go 3rd Party—I would give the nod to “the Hil” even if I vomited all over the poling booth. I would never stay home, to do so dishonors the patriots who lost their lives to win us this right!

[kcar]

I’ve gotten the opposite message of many here from voting twice for W. Never vote for a RINO. Guiliani is out. Romney and McCain extremely dubious. Never again vote for a RINO.

[truemiester]

Another non-vote for Hillary.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Would never vote for Guiliani, McCain, Ron Paul or Huckabee...

Yeah, if any of the top four I listed were nominated, I’d stay home. Country’s going to hell in a hand basket anyway.

My thoughts are close to that, except I would vote for "Bullwinkle" and hope the civil war comes before I am too old to fight it 40 years from now.... and I know some of us don't have that long, but I think you are right, and it is coming whether we like it or not...

[stockstrader]

The only two I could NEVER vote for are Giuliani and Paul.

[William Tell]

SoConPubbie said: "I beg to differ, it's called voting your principles ..."

I've got principles. I vote for people who will help me recover and maintain my right to keep and bear arms.

If you ask pro-gunners about GW Bush, you'll get a lot of different responses. But the bottom line is that his two choices for Supreme Court might make all the difference in the outcome of the Heller case next June.

If the outcome is as I hope, I will donate to a fund to erect a monument to Bush complete with a bronze statue of him in his flight suit.

If we somehow manage to get the next two Supreme Court Justice appointments, we may be looking at a generation of putting right the things that have gone wrong with this country.

Compared to controlling who is on the Supreme Court, almost all other issues fade into insignificance. I would predict that whatever your key issues are, the same is true. Proper guidance from the Supreme Court would more than make up for Bush's shortcomings in dealing with Congress or attempting to solve the nation's problems single-handedly.

[flaglady47]

No Paulista, no Huckster, no McPain.

You know, upon further reflection, I think the worst thing would be to stay home. No, it's my God-given right to vote, so I would do a write-in at least.

“Which candidates running for office would make you stay at home on election Day?”

All of them minus Duncan and maybe Fred. In the past, I haven’t liked Fred’s friends.
