Discuss.


Obama came in for me with a score of 44.5, Huntsman a close second with 40.9. Not sure what Kind of voodoo they are using to figure all that out, and some of the choices are.....oddly.......worded. Interesting non the less IMHO.

Obama - 70% (agree on 7 of 11 issues)
Ron Paul - 34% (agree on 1 of 11 issues)
Huntsmen - 32% (agree on 1 of 11 issues)

Answers only let you pick what the candidates have supported, so "government gets out of the marriage business" isn't even an option. I chose "none of the above" on that, so I'd guess that on the 4 issues I disagree with Obama on, I wish he'd be further left...

I must've clicked on something accidentally before adjusting the sliders, so I saw the results before I should have. Having said that, I had Ron Paul and Obama generally within 5-10% depending on where the sliders were... and some of the answers wer oddly worded, like the one on national defense. I had Ron Paul and Obama tied with my first choice of elminating unnecessary spending from the military, but the results slided much more to Ron Paul when I selected to cut money from defense which isn't what he supports, but what the media accuses him of. Newt Gingrich was sliding from a distant 3rd into an occasional second depending on the sliders as well. I was surprised to see Mitt Romney only be a slight bump up from the Santorum and Perry bottom dwellers.

He (supposedly) holds the exact same batsh!t crazy positions as the rest of them. People think he's a moderate because that's the way he governed, but he's claimed every single radical right-wing position that Santorum/Bachmann/Gingrich has.

 

[RaindogT]

Obama 55%
Huntsman 32%
Paul 32%

Just happy that there is no mention of Santorum, Perry, or Bachman (I know, I know....) as being ANYTHING like me.

At least with Romney I get the sense that he's lying, which puts him slightly ahead of the other clowns in my eyes.

There were a couple questions I had a similar response to, including the marriage one. Stupid quiz.

FWIW I got Obama, then Huntsman, then Romney.

 

[jimmydean]

Obama 6 of 11
Huntsman 5 of 11 (?)
Parry 2 of 11

Interesting. The wording on the questions was pretty funny.

Frank has that politician's perma-smile. Unfortunately, it's on his neck.

A better site.

Think about it... This is still an improvement.

Hello Kitty did accuse you of being a liberal. I'll give you that.

But but but... If we allow you to stay, what will it do for our K!113R L!BR@LS rep?

 

[stoney]

I am really behind Huntsman. He seems to be the one person in the Republican primaries who seems to have a sense of the world outside of the US. From what I can tell, he is also the in-between of being a bible thumper, billionaire tychoon, and bat isht f*ing crazy. Which means he has a snowball's chance in hell of making it past the primaries.

Too bad, because I would likely vote for him. IF he doesn't make it, I'll vote for Paul. If not Paul, then Obama. The others scare me too much.
