Who is the dumbest Republican ever to appear on a Presidential Ticket?

[Bicoastal]

This is a toughie...

[Happyhippychick]

1. Gerald R. McQuaylin

[lapfog_1]

5. That would be Gerald "dubyah" McQualin.

[Happyhippychick]

33. You're right. I thought of that after I hit "submit". We need Boooosh in there.

[Neecy]

2. I would add Reagan to this

I lived through that nightmare and honest to God, the guy was dumb as a stick.

Of course I'd still vote for Palin, but Reagan was pretty close.

[chiefofclarinet]

16. Yeah, I want to vote for "Ray-gun"!

Seriously, at least Quayle didn't run our country in the ground. Palin will never get the opportunity. Bush tried, but Ray-gun did a much better job.

Given the choices, I guess I'll go with Mooselini.

[Phredicles]

17. Damn right. Only, like Shrub, his dumbness had some weird hypnotic effect

on the people around him. I do not get the hagiography surrounding this dimwit.

[Left Is Write]

39. Reagan at least at enough brains to KNOW he wasn't terribly smart -

and he used his acting ability and acting experience to at least appear "presidential."

My mother, who couldn't stand the man, once said that he was obviously a better actor than she'd ever given him credit for, because he'd managed to convince almost the entire country that he was worth voting for.

3. Ford's a f-ing Nobel Prize winner - and much more normal-ish - than Palin!

[Motown_Johnny]

9. agreed, Ford should not be on that list.. Clumsy maybe but not stupid

[Bicoastal]

11. Ford won a Nobel prize?

News to me.

Only three presidents have won Nobels--T. Roosevelt, Wilson, and Carter.

And one Veep, of course. :)

[Phredicles]

14. Also, I believe it was '76 when he ran.

[terrya]

4. Yeah, that's a real tough question.

:-)

Sarah Palin is just unbelievably stupid.

[Pyrzqxgl]

6. Warren G Harding

[FVZA_Colonel]

29. He once admitted he was just an empty suit at the whim of others.

[SteelPenguin]

30. The belies intelligence to me

At least he was aware he was an empty suit and honest about it.

I'm not sure about these other people. I think they really think they're smart.

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Quayle. He was just plain stupid.

Palin and Bush both have a sort of vicious, low cunning that places them intellectually above (and morally far below) Danny Boy.

[tblue]

23. I give Quayle points for owning up to being a r/w conservative. He never tried to pretend he

was anything else. I thought he was a joke at the time, but, looking back, he had more integrity than either Boosh or the spokesmodel. He was clearly in way over his head and was a horrible speaker, and his policies were dead wrong. But I don't remember him as a conniving, bald-faced liar who would trash the Constitution. And when he and 41 lost the election, at least they honored the result. Those were the days.

[d_b]

8. Palin

and it's not even close.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

10. These poll results are some major sexist shit

Sarah Palin didn't even know she would be a national politician a month ago.

In 2000 Bush had been groomed to run for years, had wider life experience, grew up in politics, had helped run a national campaign, his father had been VP & Pres for 12 years.

And in 2000 Bush was at least as stupid as Palin on the campaign trail.

He insisted the leader of Pakistan was named "general"!!

And despite growing up in a CIA/Congress/White House household.

Bush is in his own league.

[Bicoastal]

15. Sexist? SERIOUSLY? I challenge you...

...to prove why this post is sexist. If this was Sam Palin, 2 year Alaskan Governor, running for Vice President of the US, based on his responses in a recent Katie Couric interview, the poll would be exactly the same.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

20. Bicoastal, I am referring to the results, not blaming you.

My objection is to the voting, not calling you sexist for asking the question.

Any 'biggest dumb-ass' poll Bush doesn't lead has a problem.

[Sebastian Doyle]

42. She's dumber than Bush. Really, she is.

I never thought the RePukes could scrape lower than the Chimpshit near the bottom of the stupidity barrel, but they actually goddamn did it. She really is that stupid.

And on top of that, unlike Chimpy, the Satanist Bohmeian Grove cult member who only pretends to be a "Christian" for publicity purposes, Moosealini is an honest to God (pardon the pun) Dominionazi Armegeddon cultist freak. :scared:

Her gender ain't got a damn thing to do with it.... except for the fact that her religion dictates that (because of her gender) she must submit to her husband. Which makes Todd Palin, right wing extremist secessionist America hating terrorist supporting employee of a foreign oil company, the "real" VP candidate. :scared:

[Left Is Write]

37. Sexist? Bullshit. That is pure bullshit.

It is not sexist to consider Palin's obvious lack of intellect. She displays no ability to think on her feet, no ability to think critically, and had to be protected from journalists and hidden from press conferences because her own people can't trust her to answer questions. That goes a hell of a lot deeper than "not knowing" she would be a "national politician."

Her interviews reveal an incoherent, ill-spoken person who doesn't seem to understand questions let alone be able to formulate thoughtful answers.

THAT is why Palin is the runaway answer in this poll, and it has not a damn thing to do with her gender.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

40. You believe she is dumber than Bush? Sorry, that's craziness.

[Left Is Write]

41. Yes. I do.

[BlooInBloo]

38. BWAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!

EDIT: What's HUMUNGOUSLY sexist is to maintain that girls can't be just as big of a fucking idiot as boys can be.

[BklnDem75]

12. Lieberman

Had to be said.

[angstlessk]

13. please, talk about a no brainer..even palin would have to choose palin!! duh!!

[loyalsister]

18. Does anyone think widespread condesencion

has anything to do with shy they get away with winning?

[niceypoo]

19. Reagan should be on that list

He was mildly retarded, at best.

[Franks Wild Years]

21. McLudicrous

Palin might be stupid, but someone had to choose her.

[On the Road]

22. I Don't Think Palin is Stupid at All

She's just an ordinary person who's completely out of her element.

Quayle always struck me as having an IQ below 90. He was just not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[tblue]

25. She may not be stupid, but she sure acts stupid.

[vaberella]

28. She's a fluff head...no doubt. I'm sure if it was a Q? b/t Revlon or Max Factor she's an Ace. n/t

[vaberella]

26. 5 schools in 6 years for a Journalism degree...I'd take the below 90. n/t

[vaberella]

24. Palin turned Bush into Marie Curie and Quayle into Einstein. n/t

[azmouse]

27. All of them?

[Window]

31. All of them and John McCain.

[FatDave]

32. Stupid as W and Palin are, i gotta go with Dan "Potatoe" Quayle.

I'm laughing to myself just remembering it. Especially when the 4th grader he "corrected" immediately ran and got a dictionary.

On edit: gotta love the youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZihMFYGM_o

[rufus dog]

34. Can't vote

You are missing the dumbest - McCain, he picked Palin and the more I see of him the more I realize he is one stupid Mother Fucker.

[Spider Jerusalem]

35. Warren Gamaliel Harding.

[saltpoint]

36. Yes.

[WCGreen]

43. He was so bad, Al Stewart wrote a song about him...
