Mine are anti-vax and climate change denial. When 100% of the smartest people in the world agree with one side of an issue and then you take the other side I don't trust you to make any important decisions that affect me. What are your positions?
-
I won't vote for Scott Walker because he won't say if he believes in evolution.
-
I would never vote for someone who can't catch a football.
-
I won't vote for a church leader (reverend, preacher, etc.).
-
I won't vote for anyone who wants to waste money building a wall between the US and Mexico.
-
Religion in govt and schools, deniers of science, war here/there/everywhere, etc

I wont vote for someone who supports the dismemberment and murder of unborn babies.
-
Obvious lack of critical thinking ability.
-
Candidates who (verbally) attack private citizens.
-
I don't want to vote for anyone who wants to stomp on my or anyone else's liberty...which makes it hard because can't vote for republicans (cause abortion, marriage), can't vote for dems (guns).
Also, I will never vote for a racist, misogynist with an obvious hair piece.

If you really believe that "100% of the smartest people in the word" believe that manmade carbon emissions are causing significant "climate change" and "warming," you're a fool.
As for my litmus test, here are my disqualifications:
1. Abortion: People who are broadly pro-choice (not just minor exceptions for rape, incest, and "life of the mother" - I'm talking about the people who are generally Ok with slaughtering babies at pretty much any time before birth for any reason, which is evil)
2. Climate: Global warming "truthers" (such as SD and 42) who refuse to acknowledge the serious debate over mankind's role in "climate change."
3. Immigration: Anyone who advocates for open borders or broad amnesty (I will at least consider, but not favor, a candidate that would supposedly allow amnesty on strict conditions)
4. Fiscal Policy: Anyone who doesn't care about the national debt, or believes that we can meaningfully reduce our deficits with tax increases.
5. Foreign Policy: Anyone who thinks we can actually trust countries like Iran to honor agreements, or is naive enough to believe that we can actually monitor Iran's compliance under the current framework.
6. Healthcare: Anyone who advocates for single payer or heavier reliance on insurance and restricting consumer choice (like Obamacare).
7. Energy: Anyone who wants to increase subsidies for wildly impracticle and ineffecient "green energy" like wind and solar (I'll allow sucking up to Iowa corn growers because, otherwise, that would disqualify pretty much all the candidates).
-
Evolution and climate change deniers, anyone who wants to cut scientific research funding (same people), anti-vaxxers, anti-birth control & pro-abstinence education people, anyone who wants to go back to people not having health insurance, people who don't believe in separation of church and state, people who blindly defend the NSA and security state

I would also probably say anyone who bases any of their political positions on a religion. Not practicing religion, but basing their positions on it like, "the flying spaghetti monster says people shouldn't use birth control so I'm anti birth control" or something like that.

What if it's a secular religion, like the Church of Global Warming That Cannot Be Questioned?
-
Vax for sure.
When Warmist Propagandist Scientists and their lawyers are actually trying to get the World Court to make climate "denial" illegal . . . it's just a very scary deal. I am just stunned that anyone of you, who are supposedly educated feel no need to question what is clearly an agenda of control. It's amazing that so many of you side with censorship and a warmist propagandist community that now proactively seek to destroy and marginalize anyone who dare question their proclamations and findings. Sad

it's all relative to who else is running - i'm not sure there's any one thing that would render someone unvotable. but it is very hard to vote for people that espouse views that are clearly and obviously at odds with reality, regardless of other considerations.

Well that and faithful devotion, any evidence to the contrary not withstanding. "Science" requires critical inquiry and challenging assumptions - not ignoring/slandering evidence to the contrary.

We have a thread for this, but the problem that the Warmist Propagandist have is that all roads lead to AGW. Oh sure, they'll give lip service to the other facts, but at the end of the day every perceived climate ill on this planet is blamed on AGW. There's ample evidence, actually beyond ample evidence to indicate our planet has had radical climate upheaval throughout the course of its existence. But, that doesn't fit the narrative and certainly doesn't keep the flow of grant money going nor does it keep entire sections of our government relevant and funded.
Oh, like I've said before, for those that believe that Big Energy is going to get their due, realize that Big Energy is not run by dummies and they'll get there's coming and going, fossil fuels or no fossil fuels. In fact, it could be argued they'll make even more money on the flip side.

Mass deportation

I might be overthinking it, but "feel the bern" definitely has some "Bill Clinton's intern interaction" vibes coming off of it. Like Sanders walks in and sees an attractive intern reading over some notes. . ."Hey there hun, I just took a few cialis, want to feel the Bern?"

No single issue is important enough to me to eliminate someone from contention.

no single issue I eliminate people for has any importance to me. they are just 100% accurate qualifiers for me to even consider their other positions.

I don't want to vote for anyone who wants to stomp on my or anyone else's liberty...which makes it hard because can't vote for republicans (cause abortion, marriage), can't vote for dems (guns).
Also, I will never vote for a racist, misogynist with an obvious hair piece.
Do they have to be both racist and misogynist? Or is this an either or situation? What about the hair piece? Same question.
Gonna win 'em all!

They have to meet all 3 criteria for me to just blanketly say I will not vote for them. If they only met 2 then see the previous statement about whether or not they want to stomp on liberty.

I'm confused about this "liberty" stance on abortion. Does a woman have the liberty to abort a child at 38 weeks simply because it's still in the womb? How about maybe within up to two weeks after birth? I mean, we don't have the liberty to just murder people, which I assume you agree with.
You would agree we are a country of laws right? Laws passes by the people based on certain shared moral values and what we deem important to functioning as a civilized society?
Finally, who would you say are the most misogynist presidents in the last half century?

You know its bad when fellow brain surgeons are taking shots at you.
-
People who don't think all humans are precious.

Did he really say "high falutin scientists?"
:love:
-
Really under utilized word
-
The idea of an actual brain surgeon calling a scientist (any scientist) "high faultin" is amazingly entertaining.

Are you talking about the time Ted Kennedy killed a staffer he was having an affair with (while his wife was preganant) when he drunkenly drove his car off a bridge and then left her in the car to drown?
-
yes i think it was pretty clear that is what he was talking about ksuw
-
I think KSU_W is mistakenly thinking of Woody Kennedy.
