Which Repub candidate has the highest 'Ick' factor?

[Stinky The Clown]

For me, its Mitt. Not just from the 60 Minutes thing, but in an overall sense.

I find him oily and smarmy and way too slick. Way too willing to poke a wet finger in the air. Way too glib, and way too insincere. He's more a matinee idol type who says lines than a serious candidate.

But that's just me.

Who gives you the biggest case of the creeps?

[illinoisprogressive]

1. What about Hunter or Tancredo....eeeewwww

[babylonsister]

2. I'd say weathervane McCain; I really think he's lost his moral

compass somewhere along the way. He doesn't even make much sense any longer.

[calimary]

21. Weathervane mccain! Oh MAN! That's GREAT!!!

Is that a babylonsister original? It's spot on!

:rofl:

This is a question I find nearly impossible to answer. They ALL give me the heebie-jeebies. romney, brownback and those other two who also don't believe in evolution, all of 'em up there on that stage (including giuliani - I'm not fooled by him for ONE NANOSECOND) would deny my daughter and me the last word over what happens to OUR bodies. Every last one of 'em would go rootin' tootin' and shootin' all over the Middle East, all of 'em chomping at the bit to go blasting into Iran. Especially that pompous, bloodthirsty, warmongering ass duncan hunter (who should know better, because he's actually got a kid or a nephew, I believe, in Iraq). Every one of 'em flogging the aggressor nation crap to death (LOTS of death, no doubt). ALL of 'em HELL-BENT on shoving their frickin' holier-than-thou morality merde down our throats. I'm not voting for pope here. I'm voting for a secular, civilian president next year, not some self-anointed "good Christian man." Frankly, I've had my fill of the alleged "good Christian man" types, and it's made me sick to my stomach. If I want an ayatolla or mullah running my country, I'll move to Tehran, thankyouverymuch.

I find them all completely revolting. Every last one of 'em. I wouldn't give you a buck-98 for the whole lot of them, and, sorry, not ron paul, either (the way I feel about it at the moment, he's got no business even BEING a republi-CON anymore. That's strictly for BAD GUYS. If he really meant what/how he feels, he'd be running as an independent, and not under the GOP banner). I wouldn't even want to go to dinner with any of 'em, much less vote any of them into high office. But then again, I'm sure they wouldn't want to go to dinner with me, either. They would NOT have a peaceful, enjoyable meal ('cause I'd be raggin' on 'em the whole time).

25. No, sadly, I didn't make that up but saw it on DU. It definitely applies though.

And BTW, that's one great little rant you have going there, calimary, which I happen to agree with wholeheartedly!:D

[rocktivity]

23. DING DING DING! Babylonsister, you're our grand prize winner!

I really think (McCain has) lost his moral compass somewhere along the way.

His mental one, too. I'd hate to think he's undergoing some kind of post-traumatic post-traumatic stress syndrome, but he's reminding me more of Reagan every day--and in spite of the theme of the GOP debate, not in a good way.

:scared:

33. I'm with you

[AzDar]

3. Romney. Total empty suit. n/t

[NC_Nurse]

4. McCain. He's gotten weirder and weirder.

He seems almost unbalanced lately.

[Liberal Veteran]

20. Amen! McCain scares the hell out of me.

He's so unhinged now, I suspect he is suffering some form of dementia.

[rocktivity]

28. See post #23.

When it was announced that Reagan had Alzhiemer's, I said, "You call that news?"

[Rev. Mother Ramallo]

36. I've never liked McCain...

Once you read that Salon? piece where he just comes unglued in his home state, time and time again, he just seems like an unstable loose cannon to me.

[PDittie]

5. Tancrude-o by a long shot.

[Catchawave]

6. Huckabee's the only "normal" one....

The rest "ick" me out :(

[TwilightGardener]

9. Normal, except that he doesn't believe in evolution.

And his son is a dog-killer psychopath.

[Catchawave]

14. Just my impression...how wrong I was :)

The others in the GOP field still creep me out more :(

[NMDemDist2]

10. yeah he's pretty ok until he opens his mouth on religion

course, that's the case with most of them :shrug:

[TwilightGardener]

7. Mitt, definitely. No convictions, totally vacuous, but dangerous.

Second runner-up--tie between McCain and F. Thompson--same politics, but McCain = creepy smile, neocon heart, Thompson = fake friendly Huckleberry Hound act to cover up evil neocon heart.

[NMDemDist2]

8. ghouliani gives me the creeps

he reminds of the the old golfer guys in the bar who try to act casual while they're trying to get a grope

:puke:

[Stinky The Clown]

11. ....

:spray: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

13. didn't I tell ya I'm tending bar again?

at a local "benevolent society"

great $$$ and a good clientèle for the most part, other than a few creepy old guys and the usual racist bigots



:hi:

[napi21]

12. To me it's Tommy Thompson. He reminds me of Wolfowitz and

spitting on his comb before he combed his hair. I don't know why, but they both appear at the top of my ick list together!

[AtomicKitten]

15. I can't even narrow it down.

Each of their candidates has their own particular brand of 'ick' ...

Mittens is slick as snot.
Giuliani an empty suit.
McCain genuinely insane.
And three don't believe in evolution. :scared:

[Monkeyman]

16. They all are creepers that give me the creeps

[rep the dems]

17. Tancredo, Tommy Thompson, and Romney are probably the worst. nt

[beyurslf]

18. Brownback. He is my Senator and nasty.

[AlinPA]

19. Romney. A fake.

[Arugula Latte]

22. Mitt makes my skin crawl.

:scared:

[asjr]

24. They all make me think of Hammerhead sharks.

[woo me with science]

26. easy

[1620rock]

27. Ghouliani...that rat-faced weasel.

[NV Whino]

29. It's impossible to rate them

for icky, ickier or ickiest. Just an impossible task. They are all just ickier/est.

[bklyncowgirl]

30. Mittens without a doubt. Smarmiest bastard I've ever seen.

A man who'd never let principles stand in the way of getting a few more votes.

If present trends continue, he WILL be the Republican nominee. Corporate media has spoken. Moderate voters will be tricked into voting for him as they were with Bush because of his superficial charm and sunny optomism.

Not good, my friends, not good.

[BlueStater]

31. Ghouliani

Though after watching 60 Minutes tonight, Romney is defintely in close running.

[LyndaG]

32. Tommy Thompson

Besides being a really BAD liar, I was surprised to read about his messy private life: Tough to believe that little weasly man is a Womanizer - He looks more like the type a wife would LEAVE for somebody better!!!

[AnnieBW]

34. Guiliani

I can't believe that one woman would marry him, let alone THREE!

[Democrats_win]

35. Fred Thompson, the actor. His voice is like Cheney's only an octave higher.

[Vinca]

37. I can't decide. Can I pick least "ick" factor???

I still can't decide.

[primative1]

38. Mitt

He lies with such ease

[LizW]

39. After this pic, it's no contest:
