We've already had the topics on your political heroes, favourite politicians, but what about least favourites?

Oh, and do try to explain why.

Top two - Albert Gore, Jr. and Robert P. Casey. Jr.

I dislike Gore the most because I was just starting to pay attention to politics in 2000. That election is something I'll never forget. I'm obviously not a fan of Gore's ideology and I can't stand his attitude.

You guys know why the other one is a sad, disgusting joke.

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.

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.

He's getting down there.

Republicans: George W Bush, Tom Delay, Norm Coleman, Tom Coburn, James Inhofe, Pat Roberston, etc.

Democrats: Robert P. Casey Jr, Steny Hoyer, John Edwards, Ted Kennedy, Charlie Rangel, etc.

There's more but those all came to mind. Basically I hate a good chunk of both parties but Republicans considerably more.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Senator Casey. He'd actually be my favorite of the two PA Senators.

I would say he's exactly the opposite of you -- libertarian and anti-Israel.

How is a rabidly socially conservative, protectionist like Buchanan libertarian?

Yeah, yeah, I know. Those were my dumb days. I should have realized what that 2006 campaign would be like. Then again, I guess I expected my favorite Democrat (at the time) to act differently.

wait a second. He's one of your favorite politicians, and he's probably one of the most vehement anti-Israel figures as famous as he is in the US. Give me a few minutes to wrap my head around that in a fashion that doesn't call for me chalk it up to Moderate Heroics.

Politically, he's one of the worst.  However, I find him entertaining and insightful, so I like him.  Like I said, though, I'd never vote for him.

     Sarah Palin is by far my most hated politician today. In the past, it could only be Andrew Jackson.

Add Jean Tibéri, a crook who should join the MPF instead.
Michel Debré, a Breton-hating very conservative centralist. Also, a Euroskeptic.
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.
