2. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (94%)
3. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL - Democrat (93%)
4. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (87%)

I wonder what responses would bring you to "LaRouche".

Interestingly, I'm pretty flexible on some of the questions, so it's possible that if I took it again I'd get a different order.

10. That's how I came out too
I guess that I assessed myself pretty well since Dean is my top pick so far but that is not set in stone.

3. How can you trust some anonymous person's subjective measure of what
these politicians stand for when we don't even agree among ourselves where they stand on the spectrum of the issues?

And how do you know the person who made this thing doesn't have a bias that they want project on you under the guise that this is math and science determining the outcome?

8. You may very well be correct...
...for instance, hard to believe Larouche would score a higher match with me than Clark. There is more info, where they explain how they match candidates to positions though. Those without clear positions stated on many of the points get a "no vote", which automatically puts them in a lower match, but "always some" match, since it neither agrees nor disagrees with the postion you might have taken.

11. They must not have all the information on Dean and Kucinich,
Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 08:05 PM by BillyBunter
either, since they are, respectively, #s 10 and 9 on my real list. Unfortunately, their algorithm clearly has no component for integrity and substance, thus Dean slips by, and Kucinich and his semi-socialist platform appeals to me only slightly more than Bush's cater-to-the-fundies-and-big-business platform. Gephardt, whom I personally admire, but whose politics I do not particularly care for, would rank lower than Edwards and Kerry as well.

13. I got a 57% for Clark.
It is absurd; Clark is much closer to me than that. I have a strong hunch they aren't sure where Clark stands. Clark's issues are not on his website and digging up fragments which are supposed to denote positions is a laborious chore.

I doubt that Dean a self described fiscal conservative and I a very economic liberal would agree in the mid 90's on the issues.

Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 09:33 PM by burr
According to the descriptions of the individual candidates Gephardt, Dean, and Kerry have yet to introduce their healthcare plans..Clark is still a Republican considering running, and Edwards is still that liberal rising star from North Carolina.

58. I Can't Imagine the 2%

I prolly got the 2% cuz I am a "big" civil liberterian...

45. Close, but no cigar
1. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (91%)
2. Kucinich, Cong. Dennis, OH - Democrat (86%)
3. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL - Democrat (77%)
4. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (75%)

11. Libertarian Candidate (43%)
12. Bush, George W. - US President (11%)
13. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (3%)

I would consciously rank my choices like so:

1. Kucinich, Cong. Dennis, OH - Democrat
2. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat
3. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat
4. Moseley-Braun, Former Senator Carol IL - Democrat
5. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat
6. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat
7. Clark, Retired Army General Wesley K "Wes" Arkansas - Democrat
8. Gephardt, Cong. Dick, MO - Democrat
9. (tie) Libertarian Candidate - LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat
10. Lieberman Senator Joe CT - Democrat (65%)
-- Bush, George W. - US President Not even a choice!
-- Phillips, Howard - Constitution Who?

No flames, now -- I'd be delighted to see choices #1-3 in office, pretty happy with #4, satisfied with #5-7, disgruntled but could tolerate #8, scared to death of #9 (but either is better than *), and #10, well, I had to stick him somewhere.

46. The questions are too general...
Edited on Sun Oct-12-03 01:51 AM by Hippo_Tron
It says I'm 100% with Dean, Kucinich was second and I'm more with Bush than McCain or Gore, Clark wasn't even on there. For example, I put universal healthcare because I want all Americans to have healthcare but I don't necesarilly think that's the best way to go about it but I thought it was a better answer than "don't know".

47. A few months ago the results were better...
Edited on Sun Oct-12-03 01:55 AM by tokenlib
I only say that because when I first took the survey--Bush was in negative territory--below zero--a negative percentage. Now he scored in the teens with me. I am so ashamed...

And I scored 100% with Dean. Strange, last time I had to change the gun control question to supporting the NRA to get such a score.

I am a Clark supporter. I don't really like Dean that much. Kerry is my second choice. But I do agree that Dean on the issues matches me the most and Bush the least. Kucinich, Edwards, and Braun don't stand a chance.

Waaaaaaaaaa I am a Clark supporter, he's my guy and I only got 58% for him. :-( I guess ideally I am in agreement with Kucinich but being a realist I think Clark is the one who can beat chimp so I am still sticking with Clark. :thumbsup:

I am definitely in Clark's camp since I heard of his possible cadidiacy, and Kucinich has never been a possible presidential choice for me! (Although I like his ideals)

53. Wow I actually passed
and got the one I was supporting anyway.

Former Governor John Dean Clark Senator-General of Vermachusets. The only mixed race hermaphrodite that can lead the Democrats into the 21st century. John Dean Clark was in the military but didn't kill anyone. John Dean Clark attended a university that you approve of and is for everyone thing you are for and against everything you are against. He is for more rain but not on your house.

Support the only mixed race hermaphrodite because John Dean Clark is the only candidate that can actually go fuck himself.
