Pick Your Candidate

[Warman17]

In response to all the presidential threads, I've decided to open this one up. Once you complete the quiz it will rate the candidates on a score depending on your stance versus theirs, and then list the topics you disagree upon. Just go to the site located at the bottom of my post. I will admit the number of topics is lacking (for example church and state questions), but it may be a fair gauge to what your top choices will be. Feel free to post your results or anything else relating to this for that matter.

For example my score looked like this:

Giuliani 24
Patriot Act, Torture, Wiretapping, Citizenship Path for Illegals, Net Neutrality, Iran Sanctions, Iran - Military Action, Minimum Wage Increase, Same-Sex Marriage, Universal Healthcare

Kucinich 19
Death Penalty, No Child Left Behind, Guantanamo, Citizenship Path for Illegals, Border Fence, Iraq War, Iraq Troop Surge, Iraq Withdrawal

Not a good tool IMO, as it reduces issues to a couple of words even if they're not that simple.

 

[Godwynn]

Funny, it has Gravel and Kucinich picked for me.

I wouldn't believe that website.

Apparently I like Obama and Clinton equally, and I didn't even know it!

 

[nivi]

Jeez, it had Clinton run as first and Juliany just trailing by a point, the problem is, I hate them both becuase of some of thier ideas which I despise.

I guess there isn't a good candidate who takes the best out of both parties for me.

[Whomp]

I'm afraid most of the questions in the survey don't even register as key or important to me. There's important domestic issues that weren't even asked.

And I don't even know who this Kucinich fellow is!

That's roughly what I got.

 

[The Yankee]

I'll have to agree with Whomp's assessment. Plus they put Kucinich and Gravel on the even levels while excluding some of their own nuttiness (like Kucinich saying "Let's have reparations!") and they end up being much higher on lists than they otherwise would be for some people. Including for me.

Kucinich 14
No Child Left Behind, Citizenship Path for Illegals, Border Fence, Iran Sanctions, Iraq Troop Surge

Dodd 12
No Child Left Behind, Patriot Act, Citizenship Path for Illegals, Iran - Military Action, Iraq Troop Surge

[Irish Caesar]

Paul 42

Cox 26 - (who the heck is Cox?)

...

Clinton/Kucinich/Edwards tied at last at -31.

Agree with Whomp's assessment; domestic questions should have played more of a role.

I also hate how loaded the language is; it's a pretty biased-written site.
