Don't know who?
 
Don't know who to support for president. To hell with party affiliations, who's the candidate that shares your convictions... well, let's say professes to share your convictions... we are talking politicians, after all.

I've got good news for you. Here is a short easy quiz to sort it out, for you. When you finish the quiz, it will ask for your email but allows you to skip that by clicking at the top of the page.

It's amusing, but I don't take it very seriously personally because a lot of the black & white alternatives are not mutually exclusive for me. (For example, I don't believe strong protection of civil liberties is inherently anti-security.)

Ibby 06-26-2007 08:03 PM
Who the hell is Alan Augustson?

He looks like Zippy to me... http://selectsmart.com/president/200.../augustson.png

If I was gonna vote Green Party, it would be a Biafra vote all the way, anyway.

fargon 06-26-2007 08:06 PM
I like an informal polling at this point in time. Based on what I saw in the poll, we are looking at a very conservative race.
It is way to early to guess, I usually wait till NH. and IA. before I even start any consideration.

bluecuracao 06-26-2007 08:41 PM
I'm kind of surprised that anyone to the right of Gravel factored into my results, as much as they did. Is this quiz working properly? ;)

It looks like you need to run for office, since there is nobody representing your positions.

Shawnee123 06-27-2007 08:13 AM
Well, Griff, you've always been my choice for prez but you weren't on the list.

Believe me, I would never survive the peeping into the past subjection!

piercehawkeye45 06-27-2007 08:29 AM
I find it funny that Kuninich is number one or two on basically everyone's list (except Wolf and Griff I think) yet he will never get elected.

glatt 06-27-2007 09:06 AM
There was a similar list in the last presidential election and I got Rev. Al Sharpton as my best match. I was horrified, because I would never vote for that guy. But on paper he claimed to take positions very similar to my own.

These tests don't take character, leadership ability, etc. into consideration.

Of course it's way to early in the race to pick a candidate to vote for. But it will be interesting to see where the candidates in the final cut, placed on your list, if at all.

So far I've decided that I'm voting for Obama. But yeah, there's still plenty of time for the candidates to flip-flop and change their messages, say something scandalous...or just yell inappropriately.

xoxoxoBruce 06-28-2007 08:46 PM

Dennis still snuck in at #5 on mine probably based on the war.

Kent McManigal does decently on most peoples lists, apparently some of us like being free.

As far as my own candidacy goes let me paraphrase a politician whose name escapes me: If nominated, I'll run to Mexico. If elected, I'll fight extradition.

I wonder if they will redo the test now minus those who are no longer in the race. I would like to take it again under those circumstances.

That that not very rational creature Dennis Kucinich, of all the regrettable personages in Washington, comes nearest to the ideal for Piercehawkeye and Bluecuracao confirms my views about their common sense, their enthusiasm for democracy, and for other good things that make life worth living. No wonder we argue.

I wish Ron Paul would run as an Independent.

aimeecc 02-06-2008 08:52 AM
I don't know much on Ron Paul, but he always appears near the top of my list on candidate matches. Why do you like him?

My dislike is purely superficial - the name. Thought at first the transvestite Ru Paul was running as a joke. Then I thought it was the owner of the hair salon chain and I wasn't sure why he would run for office either. Its hard to support someone that I know absolutely nothing about and the first thing I think of every time I hear the name is the place where I used to get my hair cut (at least it was good haircuts, although pricey). Then I think of his photo, which isn't flattering either. Anyway, I digress. I see tons of signs for him (more than any other candidate). What do you see in him and not the others?

I can't speak for anyone that supports him here because they would be actual libertarians, which is what Ron Paul is, but most of the Ron Paul supporters I've seen don't know much about Ron Paul and are just caught up in the hype about him "saving America". They will be fed two or three things that they agree with and they think Ron Paul is divine. A lot of RP supporters are conspiracy theorists as well, which Ron Paul represents because he is small government.

Ah yes.

My roommate last semester was a huge pro-legalization (I mean huge by extreme) and all of the big cannabis culture sites are very pro-Ron Paul.
