Would you still vote for [insert candidate's name here] if...

(Yes, I am bored. So, please refrain from flaming)

Suppose you came home and entered your house/apartment/trailer/shack/mansion/castle/whatever. The entire place was covered with graffiti. Someone had spray-painted "YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK YOU SUCK" in red paint. You went inside, and someone spraypainted nasty things about your loved ones, messages so vulgar they would make Trey Parker shudder. Naturally, you were brimming with unadulterated rage. You bellowed, "Who did this!?"
From out of a corner came [insert the name of the candidate you're voting for here], smiling smugly. "I'm [insert the name of the candidate you're voting for here], and I approve this message."

Would you still vote for that candidate?

And this was assuming you hated the other candidate, and you were forced to vote for one of the two.

Since I'm voting for no one, the situation doesn't make any sense for me.

1st off, this is utterly pointless. and the answer is yes i would, because in my opinion, the other canidate is a complete and utter moron. but more than likely i just wouldn't vote period, because i wasn't going to vote in the 1st place.

I'd bite my tongue, tell the candidate who spraypainted it to "F*ck off" and vote for the other guy but this entire topic is kind of pointless and unrealistic, similar to "If you had a gun pointed at your head and the only way to live was to kill someone whom you loved very much and if you didn't you'd die, what would you do?" Wait, this gives me an idea for a thread, thanks!

Wouldn't be an issue, because whoever came around that corner would be history in under 10 seconds. Everyone would be voting for the other guy after that.

Depends, on the situation. If they were the only two choices, then I'd still vote for my first candidate. Policy tends to outweigh character, since pretty much all of them are assholes, but not quite as many agree with me on policy. However, if there are third party candidates, I'd go vote for one of them.

Unless the other guy was John Ashcroft.
