Who is the biggest joke candidate from the GOP?

[You kip if you want to...]

Who is the biggest joke?

Probably Cain... or Michele... or one of the Ricks.

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

I know many will hate me for this, but Ron Paul

He's not a joke in the sense that he is some wild eye right wing conservative.  He will no win the nomination, he won't and the Ron Paul supporters are so fervent I believe many of them truly believe he can win it

[I Am Feeblepizza.]

I would be tempted to say Jon Huntsman, not only because of his polling numbers but because he's far too liberal (?) to appeal to the vast majority of Republicans. I mean, come on--the man worked for Obama for more than two years! How much worse can you get in the eyes of the Tea Party?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Santorum makes me giggle every time I see him, and not just because of Google.

[Torie]

Johnson probably. Paul is a bad joke. Johnson is a good one. Bachmann isn't funny at all. 

[Cincinnatus]

Perry, because he could actually win.

[Wonkish1]

Really Santorum over Bachmann. Surprised by that!

[Averroës Nix]

Most outrageous statements - Michele Bachmann
Least sincere campaign - Newt Gingrich
Most poorly managed campaign - Gary Johnson
Biggest joke relative to expectations and press treatment - Jon Huntsman

All "joke candidates" for different reasons. I voted for the disgraced former Speaker and his campaign to sell crap.


Honorable mention, i.e. grumpy old paleo-conservative award goes to Ron Paul.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Rick Perry lol

[CatoMinor]

Santorum

[Lief 🗽]

Ron Paul.

[Mehmentum]

This is obvious, the candidate who's name is a joke.

Santorum.

[Napoleon]

Rick Santorum.

[redcommander]

Gary Johnson

[Reaganfan]

Without a doubt, Ron Paul.

I came to realize why so many young people are into Ron Paul. He's a freak!

Think about it....you meet some dude who is a liberal. Clear as day. But he supports Ron Paul for President. Why? Ron Paul matches that anti- big Government attitude...but then counters that conservatism with a liberal viewpoint on foreign policy. Maybe it was conservative in the Republican party 70 years ago...but it isn't anymore. Young people tend to be anti-war, activist types and Paul caters to them.

I think a few of my brain cells just died.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

How is it anti-big government to support outright projecting our own government into other countries?

[memphis]

Easily Santorum. He doesn't have Mitt's establishment appeal. He's not a Huntsman media darling. He's doesn't have a hardcore niche following like Paul (a certain Forum member notwithstanding). He's not even a flavor of the month like so many other candidates. The man has nothing but a disgusting anal sex meme. He has no chance, no following, and apparantly nothing better to do than run for President.

[The Mikado]

Huntsman, because he's deluded enough to not realize that there's no such thing as a Huntsman Republican anymore (outside of Torie's friend group).

Naso is just projecting. He loves 'humanitarian intervention,' nation-building, foreign aid, etc. He's also super apologetic about 'racism' and obsessed with bending over backwards to help a tiny little socialist ethnocracy just because the people in the media (double irony) said he should be. He doesn't understand what a conservative actually is or what having pride in your people and culture actually entails. Conservatism to him isn't even having a preference for FOX over CNN.. It's basically just having a preference for Family Ties over Seinfeld.

[angus]

I can't speak for the others, but I get a good bit of my material from Johnson.

[Peeperkorn]

Santorum.

[Vote UKIP!]

Jon Huntsman.

I once posted that I believed that Huntsman would actually be preferable to Romney. Thanks to his recent comments about "science," I'm beginning to change my mind.

He's running in the wrong party, based on some of his attitudes and beliefs. New Hampshire voters might like him to an extent, but I'm sorry: He's not getting anywhere any how.

I'm still trying to figure out who he is.

Well, he and Gary Johnson.

[Peeperkorn]

What did he say about science?
