Pick Your Candidate

Repress. It translates into "gays can't marry."

Good, good. I chose correctly then.

**Sasaki Kojiro** · 10-11-2007, 23:54

I got obama and clinton (Apparently they hold all the same positions).

**Louis VI the Fat** · 10-12-2007, 00:03

Tied at 48 points for these four : Edwards, Obama, Clinton, Richardson. I knew I prefered Clinton or Obama, in that order. Never heard of Richardson.

Highest Republicans were Romney and Giuliani. I don't know Romney, but before the quiz Giuliani was my favourite Republican. Good quiz then, apparently.

I don't know if you guys have seen this before, but there is a similar thing here:

Not as well set out and done quite differently to this one, but the idea is still there. I got Kuchinich in that one.

In the one you posted I got 66 for Dodd, only disagreeing on Immigration and I got 64 with Kucinich, only disagreeing (And then slightly) on Iraq. I had Hillary, Obama and Edwards (Who I prefer out of the three top runners) tied next on 59 - all of whom I disagree with on the Death Penalty. Hunter was last on 7 - only agreed with him on Energy.

I only disagree with him on immigration, apparently, and the options on that topic all seemed too anti-immigration for my tastes, so I am not sure that counts as I did not want to pick any.

I was in the same conundrum.

Dennis Kucinich - 56
Chris Dodd - 51
John Edwards - 46
Barack Obama - 46
Hillary Clinton - 46

Disagreed with all of them on Iraq; Obama and Clinton on Immigration and the Death Penalty.

The immigration question was so hostile to immigrants, it was funny. Why did they not just ask you to choose:

Option 4: Embrace the wives and daughters of illegal immigrants, hear their women wail, crush them and have them flee before you.

Seriously, what was wrong with:

That was beautiful and also, I think, one reason why America became the greatest nation on earth.

Oh please, Econ. We had much stricter immigration laws back when that was put up. And immigration should not be a general opening of our doors to a bunch of people fleeing a crappy country to our south and costing us billions of dollars (illegals cost LA county about $1billion a year. That's one county).

Anyways, I got:
John McCain
Score: 51

Tom Tancredo
Score: 50

Duncan Hunter
Score: 43

Fred Thompson
Score: 43

Which is odd, since I would much, much rather have Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson over Tancredo or McCain. Thompson is my choice right now, edging Duncan mainly because of name recognition.

FYI, I got 8's for Edwards, Obama, and Clinton, and 3's for Dodd, Kucinich, and Gravel.
