Poll question: Which candidate do you like the least? |
|
Which candidate's views fit yours the least? Lieberman is excluded, because unanimous polls are boring.

31. 100% of the Edwards haters feel need to say it out loud |
|
in addition to voting no. Interesting. Are you afraid that the vote wont' be enough to convince people?

He was probably one of the more respected candiates here in October in fact, after Kucinich the most people said they would happily vote for him.

Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 10:18 PM by AP
My comment was that it looked like the three who don't like him knew that if they didn't vote and post, people would be left with the impression that Edwards is actually pretty likable.
If they hadn't posted anything, Edwards would be looking great right now.

168-4. That's how they made a stand when it mattered. By not looking like obstructionists 168 times.

I dislike phony politicians like Dean, who will say anything or flip-flop on any issue depending on cynical calculation on what will work in polls best.
Do other politicians running pander? Yes, but not like Dean. He is the ultimate panderer, and the biggest phony running. I am amazed he has pulled the wool over so many eyes.
I can't trust a guy like Dean, who says one thing and then goes and does another. A man of no principle.

Dean (except for Clark- about whom there is no record to disemble) is the frontrunner, so there are WAY more supporters between all the other candidates to pile on.

fellow Dean supporters. My advice to you is to stay out this poll, so the plethora of Dean haters here (you know who they are) can have themselves a nice big circle jerk :-) C'mon, they don't get out much, let's allow them this one pleasure tonight.
VOTE AWAY clarkettes :hi:
Let's see how high you can make Dean's number go!

I dont think dean bashers are local to clark and I dont think singling clark suporters out serves any purpose.
Theres a lot of great clark suporters out there. They just hapen to like clark more than dean. Nothing wrong with that.
I dont think most of the Dean bashers are clark suporters anyway.
We have quite a few good candidates I dont think anyone should be attacked for supporting any one of them.

between Clarkettes and Clark supporters, trust me.
You're right, there are some decent Clark supporters here. But by and far, the majority of Clark DU people are Clarkettes. This thread will be a magnet for them. Just watch. Kinda like flies on sh....well, you know.

40. Kerry was ok untill he went all out against Dean |
|
and what's with his collaboration with Dick Gephardt against Dean? Can't he do it on his own? Dean is a rebel. Attacking him makes him more appealing to his supporters because he is the underdog and he is the frontrunner. I never dreamed that the good doctor from Vermont would make it this far.

He even kept attacking Kerry while he was off the campaign trail when he had his cancer surgery and recovery period. Great show of character for a doctor.

And I guess that little matter of Kerry being the ONE lawmaker who has investigated and exposed more government corruption than ANY lawmaker in modern history is lost on you?
You can put ALL the other candidates together and not come anywhere close to the amount of dirty work that Kerry took on.
BCCI, IranContra, CIA drugrunning. Because of Kerry's work and diligence we know what we do about the BFEE.
Vietnam, Iran-Iraq war, illegal war in Central America - Kerry had a hand in putting an end to these wars.

You know I am finding through polls that many of us like my candiate Mr. Kucinich but many I dont think find him electable really, thats a damned shame honestly, because if work together we can make him electable and pursue a great progressive agenda, proud Kucitizen here is all I can say. A further note on many liking Kucinich, a poll I recall a ways back had the most DUers saying they would happilly vote for DK.

Actually I more than like him and I certainly did not make him my least favorite choice. The question however is about the views of a candidate compared to your own, not his or her likability. Not everyone is as progressive as Dennis, and other candidates are also "likable".

Gephardt.
