Mitt Romney lacks integrity, and does whatever is most likely to win him an election.  He is an absolutely disgusting individual, and the thought of him being President scares me to death.

GET OUT.  Seriously?

I don't think I could possibly make a list, there's just not enough time.  There are so few politicians that I don't find utterly detestable, I don't know why I even bother with politics.  Some of the most heinous recent offenders include David Duke, Mike Huckabee, Robert Byrd, Strom Thurmond, etc.  Mostly in the same vein of hate politics.  Those are the kind I find most repulsive.

...Then get out yourself! Oh, and your including Huckabee alongside Duke, Byrd and Thurmond is ridiculous.

I actually have to agree with officepark on this one... just because you don't like Huckabee, it's not fair to group him with three of the most virulently racist politicians of the last sixty years and hope it will spark some sort of subconscious connection.

I may not like him, but he's not a racist, and being anti-gay is hardly uncommon in today's political landscape.

In before: Republican = Racist (not from Fezzy, of course)

Hmmm, these are the ones I could think of:

Democrats
Andrew Jackson -- What he did to the Native Americans was atrocious
Woodrow Wilson -- Put civilians in danger with the Lusitania, then used that as an excuse to go to war
FDR -- Prolonged the Great Depression, started the era of big government, and the Japanese Internment
John Kerry -- Used his 3 Purple Hearts to get out of Vietnam early, then comes home and badmouths our troops still over there
The Clintons -- Miscreants who seek to mortgage American sovereignty to international organizations
John Edwards -- A hypocritical phony, to put it lightly. Here he is whining about rising healthcare costs, as a trial lawyer in North Carolina, he made $50 million suing doctors. I bet he never mentioned that to the voters.
Al Gore -- Lives in his ginormous mansion and tells us we're being wasteful

Republicans
Robert McNamara -- Got many of our soldiers killed in Vietnam, just because he's an elitist snob
Donald Rumsfeld -- How this desk jockey got the lives of our troops in his hands is beyond me
Dick Cheney -- Draft-dodging coward, who, when elected, suddenly became pro-war. I'm sure his company making huge profits because of war is merely a coincidence.
Paul Wolfowitz -- Warmongering twit
The Bushes -- Trust fund babies who will mortgage our sovereignty to the highest bidder

Here are some

George W Bush - American destroyer
Richard Cheney - Co-America destroyer
Norm Coleman - Massive sore loser and hypocrite
Evan Bayh - DLC deadwood in an Obama state. Only got where he is because of his father, who was a much better Senator.
George HW Bush - Spawned Dubya, tried to start World War III
Robert Casey Sr. - Right-winger who didn't support Clinton who whined about not getting to speak at DNC
Zell Miller - His book had the wrong subject
Joe Lieberman - This guy isn't even a good liar
Meg Whitman - I'm sure 500,000 new H-1Bs a year would solve all of our unemployment problems
Calvin Coolidge - The most to blame for the Great Depression

You realize he was one of the best Governors in the history of Indiana, right?  I'll take him over his father any day, and his father was a great man.

Why should I care about how good a governor of some state I went to briefly 15 years ago that he supposedly is? He's a terrible Senator. His voting record was actually more warmongering than Lieberman's before Lieberman lost his primary.

LOL

Classic example of how this "Obama state" stuff is getting to your head. Yes, please find a liberal to challenge Bayh in the 2010 primary. We'll gladly take the seat.

There's a large amount of room between Bayh and liberal. The North Dakota Senators are well to his left, for example.

I was refuting your point that he only got where he is today because of his father.  Besides, he's had an excellent record in the Senate, with some exceptions here and there.  I wish he'd run for President, so I could support him.

Anyways, I've taken the time to list quite a lot.

The 2 Oklahoma joke Senators: Nuff' said
Marilyn Musgrave: See above
Tom Tancredo: See above
Sarah Palin: Idiotic far-right loon
Bobby Jindal: far-right loon
And a lot of others.

Jacques Médecin: Fascist-loving far-right corrupt kook. Son of a collabo.
Jean Médecin: Nazi-loving collabo.
Jean-Marie Le Pen: Xenophobe, French Algeria fanatic, and possible war criminal.
Segolene Royal: Stupid, opportunistic, and arrogant.
Arnaud Montebourg: Arrogant, opportunistic, and annoying little prick.
Nicolas Dupont-Aigan: See above.
Philippe de Villiers: Hypocritical bible-bashing Europhobe.
Francois Bayrou: Uninspiring, platform-less and whiny fake centrist.

Stephen Harper: Incompetent, arrogant failure.
André Arthur: A retarded re-incarnation of Maurice Duplessis, and vulgar radio host. A humiliation to Québec.
Maxime Bernier: Idiot.
John Baird: Hates the people of Ottawa, even though he's supposed to represent them. Also, a failure.
Richard Bennett: Authoritarian fascist-funder. Crap.

Add Jean Tibéri, a crook who should join the MPF instead.
Michel Debré, a Breton-hating very conservative centralist. Also, a Eurosceptic.
Charles Pasqua, another crook who should never have dirtied the UMP by joining.
Jean-Pierre Soisson, a fascist-loving flip-flopper who thinks he can still give lessons on political morality after all he did.
Charles Millon, a fascist-loving piece of crap.


I keep on adding!

Rona Ambrose. A typical Conservative incompetent failure, but also a total joke in every cabinet position she gets.
David Emerson. Dirty opportunist.
Larry O'Brien. Incompetent, liar, crook, culture-hating conservative joke mayor etc. etc.
