If it came down to Ron Paul vs. Hilary, who would you vote for?

[Rocknrule]

Just curious

[TechBear_Seattle]

1. It would still be Dennis Kucinich

A write-in vote is still a perfectly valid vote. And at least I am voting for a Democrat. :hi:

[magellan]

6. Yup, me too n/t

[Individualist]

2. I'd write-in Kucinich

[peacebird]

3. I'ld write in Edwards

[skipos]

4. Let's see, he is 100% anti-choice, didn't think the gov. should have aided Katrina victims

and is the candidate of choice for white-supremecists. No thanks.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Meh, it's true.

But then again, Hillary is against gay marriage, doesn't think the government should get out of Iraq, and supports banning free speech.

:shrug:

[skipos]

24. Hillary is tied with Kucinich for last place on my list

But compared to a guy who thinks the government should do nothing for anyone ever, a guy who would appoint a bunch of shitty, roe-v-wade overturning supreme court justices?!? I didn't buy the Gore=Bush lie in 2000, and I won't buy the Dem candidate X=Republican candidate X in 2008. I couldn't live with myself if I let a Republican like that win.

[JerseygirlCT]

37. Exactly. Like this is even a hard choice. And I'm not a Hillary fan. nt

[BobRossi]

5. None of the above.

Can't do it, won't do it. HC is no Dem.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. None of the above.

[AX10]

HILLARY!!!

:dem:

[BuyingThyme]

8. Torture.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Why?

Why must people persist with this crap?

[LWolf]

10. Neither.

This question has already been used, in the last several days, to try to purge DU of people who wouldn't pledge to vote for HRC once.

I'm hoping your curiosity is based in something more principled than that.

[upi402]

11. write in!

[mikelgb]

12. should have been a poll

[Rocknrule]

13. It won't let me create a poll

[fascisthunter]

14. neither

I will write in Dennis Kucinich

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

15. Dennis Kucinich

The ONLY choice for President

[sandnsea]

16. Hillary. No decision could be easier n/t

[Taverner]

17. Clinton

8 years of peace and prosperity is nothing to vote Republican over.

And before you get on my case and remind me this is Wife Clinton and not Husband Clinton it is but the same...

I felt safe with the Clintons in charge.

[earthlover]

31. I really don't care who Hillary married....I would like to see what she would do

In the choice of hillary vs paul I vote hillary. But I sure hope I get a better choice than that!

[rjones2818]

38. Other than Yugoslavia...

that minor incident in Sudan...and the killing of 500,000 Iraqis by sanctions (and the Gods only know what was done in our name under black budget expenditures) Clinton did have peace.

[Xipe Totec]

18. Ron Paul? Are you serious? Have you checked his record? nt

[Blue-Jay]

19. Zombie Nixon!

[laststeamtrain]

21. Not a glowing endorsement for HRC but I'd vote for a pile of dog poop

before I'd vote for a RW nut like Paul.

I like Social Security. I like having a fire dept. I like non-toll roads & the fact that they're maintained when it snows.

[sweetladybug]

25. I would vote for any Democrat before I would vote for a Republican

Republicans have ALL proven to me that they aren't the compassionate religious party. They are selfish, liars, and greedy. Money is their God.

[baldguy]

22. Hillary

The GOP stole 2000 & 2004 - and they're planning on stealing 2008. Stop yer fucking whining that Hillary isn't ideologically pure on every one of your pet issues! No one is! And none of your third-party weasels are going to win - voting for them just helps the GOP.

Face the truth: If Hillary is the nominee, it's either her of four more years of hell (at least).

[earthlover]

32. Ironic that you bring up the vote steals...if Hillary is the nominee....

the BEST we can hope for is a close victory. However, a close victory winds up in the L column due to vote fraud. I can't imagine Hillary winning by a steal-proof margin. She is the wet-dream-opponent of the Reps.

[bullimiami]

23. ron paul is a serious RW nutjob. So hes antiwar and pro (his version) constitution.

maybe people should look a little further than the end of their noses.

[kestrel91316]

26. You have to ask??? This is Democratic Underground.

IIRC Ron Paul is a REPUBLICAN.

ANY Dem is always better than a Republican.

[MuseRider]

27. Dennis Kucinich. n /t

[GoneOffShore]

28. Holding my nose and voting for Hils

Couldn't vote for that ILibertarian piece of shit.

[CTD]

29. I'll admit it - I'd vote Ron Paul over Hillary.

The social issues on which Ron Paul takes an objectionable stand pale in comparison to the prospect of attacking Iran or prolonging the war in Iraq.

Not being able to get a legal abortion won't matter if we engage Iran in a nuclear war.

Priorities.

IMO, restoring the Constitution and getting the f**k out of Iraq trump any and all social issues, however important they otherwise are.

Listen, I'm a pro-gay, pro-woman, liberal who disagrees with Paul on all of the associated social issues. But that's all meaningless if we're all dead because we attacked Iran and it's all meaningless without an intact Constitution.

Priorities.

Hillary's priorities sit with the corporations and AIPAC.

So I cannot support Hillary. Period.

SOME ISSUES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN POLITICAL PARTIES.

[WilliamPitt]

30. Senator Clinton

[cgrindley]

33. I think I would write in the Unicorn/Leprechaun Ticket

Ron Paul is only a viable candidate in Imaginationland, you know.

[DinahMoeHum]

34. Hillary. Ron Paul is still a Republikkkan at the end of the day. . .

and there is no fucking way I will pull the lever for Republikkkans for a very long time.

:kick:

[scarletwoman]

35. Dennis Kucinich -- duh! I'm writing him in no matter what. (nt)

[JerseygirlCT]

36. Hillary

I'm a Democrat.

[DemGa]

39. I'm voting for the Democratic candidate whovever it may be

Face it, this election, every election is not only about getting Democrats elected, it's about marginalizing Repukes wherever they rear their heads.

I expect to see masses of fellow Dems doing the same. I'm all for fixing the party and raising hell -- while holding power.

End of my kinda rant.

[TheUniverse]

40. Ron Paul, even though there is no way in hell he is winning the primary

Why Ron Paul? Because I'd know he would end the war. And I also know the Democratic Congress wouldn't pass any of his horrible domestic agenda, and maybe even be able to override any vetoes. So he stop would the war and his domestic damage would be minimal. I dont like Ron Paul, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

[hyphenate]

41. My sole goal

regardless of any election, is to get Republicans OUT of office. I don't give a fuck who the Democratic candidate is--even if it's Tony the Tiger--as long as no fucking Pub is put back into the white house. And that includes any Democrats who I don't currently support--if they comprise 1/2 of the Democratic ticket in November, 2008, they are my candidate of choice.

Anyone who would support Ron Paul at Democratic Underground should find another website rather than spending any time here and badmouthing any of the potential nominees put forth by the Democratic party.

In 2004, the common cry at DU and through the Democratic world was ABB--Anyone but Bush--we won, though the Pubs lied, cheated and stole that election from under our very eyes. It still should be our rallying cry, even though it now becomes "Anybody But a Republican."

[GreenTea]

42. I'll only vote for a liberal that's running instead. Neither of those two -

one a right-wing republican Paul ---- and the other a right leaning moderate democrat Clinton.

I'll vote GREEN PARTY BEFORE I'D EVER VOTE FOR EITHER OF THEM.
