i would vote for Obama “no matter what” because I think he’s doing a fantastic job. Even a sane republican wouldn’t temp me away this year.
I’ll vote for Obama(again) even though I’m in a red state and my vote won’t count(again).
There’s no way on Og’s blue marble I’d ever vote for a nominee from today’s GOP.
Psst…, prr…
If you really want to get honest answers to your poll, you might want to state the OP in more neutral terms. I’m willing to bet that many people who plan to vote against Obama would skip over this poll after reading the OP.
Other: I am an ex-Republican, now a strait ticket, yellow dog, blue state Democrat.
Republicans played me for a chump too goddam long. Forever fuck them.
I voted “we’ll see after the GOP picks one” but I should add that it doesn’t mean that there’s a chance in hell that I’ll vote for Obama. I’d vote for Newt, I’d vote for Romey. Paul is not a worry. But If Santorum gets the nomination, a prospect that fills me with both despair and horror given that I find him odious too and realize his nomination will without a doubt mean a 2nd term for Obama, I’ll have to debate between writing in a candidate or not voting at all.
How many electoral votes does the sdmb have? Cause that’s good news for Obama.
If you point a gun at me and demand I vote republican, I won’t.
Inclined to Obama. Except for Romney, they are all insane.
Since I very much favor do-nothing Congress, if it looks like Republicans will take the Senate and keep the House, I would much prefer Obama to be President to provide the necessary gridlock.
Not to hijack, but I’d be surprised if the dems lose the senate. McCaskill will win MO, and Dems will probably win in MA and possibly in ME, shifting those two states. We’ll see though.
Anyway I’d vote for Obama over any of the four choices. Against some I’d find a way to vote twice just to be really sure.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, tear
Yeah, and when I get done voting, I’m going to hit myself in the head with a hammer.
The only way I’d consider voting for a republican is if they dropped every one of their socially conservative positions, advocated for a strong social safety net and actually got serious about creating a workable budget for the government. Except then they’d be democrats.
Indeed. It may as well read “Not voting for Obama? Come in here so we can skewer you!”
I’ll pass, kthx.
Voting for republicans is one of those things that I understand in the abstract, but when I’m actually confronted with it, it’s like you told me 1+2=purple. I. just. don’t. get it.
The Republican Party is the party of lunatics, thugs, bigots, plutocrats, religious fanatics, and fools & scum in general. They are neither capable of nor interested in good government, and are undeserving of any position of authority whatsoever, and under no circumstances would I vote for them. I despise the Democrats & Obama, but realistically it’s either the Democrats or the Republicans, which means it’s the Democrats.
I selected ‘other’. I’m likely voting 3rd party for president, most likely Gary Johnson, a libertarian candidate and former Republican governor of New Mexico who dropped out of the Republican primary in December. I don’t like either of the two major parties.
What’s this “fucked-up field spouting hateful nonsense” that you speak of? There’s a lot of nonsense in politics, please specify.
No matter how neutrally I managed to phrase the OP, there will always be some Obama-haters who would think they’re being lured into some kind of devious trap. This way, I was perfectly open about my own opinions, and perfectly neutral in the phrasing of the poll questions. I also am not discussing, much less skewering, anyone for his or her answers to poll questions, though it might be interesting to see who wanted to lend his or her name to support of the GOP. In my own view, it marks you as “batshit-insane hater” and I can understand how you might like to scurry away from that designation.
Read a newspaper or watch TV. Or google “contraception.”
Nonsense. All you have to do is ask whether people plan to vote against Obama or not, then present the poll options that you provided. Remove the venom and the problem is solved.
Besides, even if we were to grant your claim, there’s still a huge difference between phrasing the OP such that some people might think it’s a trap and using language which pretty much guarantees that they’ll view it as an open invitation to be publicly castigated.
prr, do you not see how your second statement fails to lend credence to the first?
