Worst Republican Governor

There are frequently polls asking for the worst Republican Senator, so I thought I'd see everyone's opinions on the governors.

Tim Pawlenty is who I'm stuck with, so he's the worst to me.

The absolute worst. My father, who's usually reserved about politics, has set a goal of one day beating the shit out of Rick Perry, whom he refers to as "Tom Delay's Bitch".

Gov. Goodhair sucks ass!

He is so much of a slime that even other Repugs don't like him.

He's like Tom DeLay but with more styling product in his hair.

I'd horsewhip him if I had a horse!

Creepiest Speaker of the House: Tom Craddick!

He is one a*s of a man. I'm sure he will go far in the repug party.

I swear to you non-Texans that he truly is dumber than a fence post. Has to be the least intelligent Gov we've ever had. And since that list includes Bill Clements AND Shrub, that means a lot.

Perry was first elected to his first office as a Democrat - then switched.

I despise the entire Bush line.

I'd give ANYTHING to have Jeb Bush if it was a choice between Judy and Jeb....

She's so, so bad. (Montana's gov)

beats out Pawlenty and Jeb! by a (brown) nose.

Man, the competition is fierce out there!

vain, shallow, pretentious, full of dire half baked notions and desperate to climb to new heights nationally.

Homer Simpson lookalike.

Martin

thank god he's out. Now, how can we get rid of Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham? The people of Michigan didn't want him.....Bush did. Typical!

And Abraham'll be gone

GO DEMS IN 2004!

Engler was the worst. Had all repubs in state thinking he reduced taxes. Left a HUGE budget deficit and then lied about it. Granholm got the shock of her life when she found out how huge it really was. Now Rebugs are criticizing her for trying to fix it.

One of those "it's his turn now" govs.

Ohio Democrats hate him. Ohio Republicans hate him. He's less popular than Grey Davis, and has the personality of a stump. If Ohio had a recall procedure, he'd be gone.

We don't agree on a lot, but man, on this issue we agree 100%!

I'd laugh except it's not really funny.

is former governor Frank White here in Arkansas. You would have thought he was governor of China as much time as he spent there!

Next would be our current governor - Mike Huckabee.

I just know he'll be the worst...

That's Jim "The internet boom will always be here so let's pretend that the dot com revenues will continue in perpetuity" Gilmore.

Tax revenues not being what they once were resulted in oceans of red ink that the current Democratic governor must now deal with.

Mark Warner is finding it kinda hard to implement his programs with no $$.

PJ O'Rourke was having a rare moment of lucidity when he said

"The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it."

Career criminal - scandal after scandal in his administration. Had cronies cover up his police record (an incident with his ex-wife where police were called...), made deals with Enron and all sorts of shady types, relocated some state offices to his hometown, treated state employees like trash, etc, etc.

The slimiest of them in all!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

I voted for in the poll.

Andrew Cuomo is notorious for saying about George Pataki that he didn't lead the State of New York after September 11th, he held Rudy Giuliani's coat. Pataki's record as governor has mostly been one of kowtowing to the RNC. Maybe Bush will tap him to be on the ticket in pace of Dick Cheney, maybe not. Pataki has been a lousy governor, that's for sure.

Rick Perry continues the Shrub's reckless fiscal policies, continues the gutting of what limited Texas enviornmental law enforcement exists, leaves the school finance issue unresolved, then shoves through two special partisan redistricting session at the behest of Rove, DeLay, and Dubya.

The alacrity with which Perry responded to Republican calls for redistricting shows all the earmarks of an errand boy, not a leader.

A sorry piece of work.

Worst all time? I'd have to go with our very own John Ashcroft. Sorry we gave him to the rest of the world, but hey, we tried to keep him out of office.

He's a horrible, horrible governor.

F***ing **shole....

Texans should get extra votes!
