GrimTuesday:
Another person from Washington? Wow, we have somewhat similar scores.

Well, it's always nice to know that I'm chiefly a product of my environment. :)

Katatori-kun:
Presumably they didn't mean the racist Ron Paul, but the modern, squeaky-clean version who doesn't talk about the past.

You do realize this throws about half the modern politicians in the bin of racists right? People like Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater?

Oh? Has Ronald Reagan published racist newsletters or been in charge of newsletters that publish racist stories? Is Barry Goldwater's name attached a to any document that say things like: "Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for that pro-communist philanderer, Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a congressman. What an infamy that Ronald Reagan approved it! We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day!"

I mean if they have, it's no skin off my nose- I've never thought much of either. But I'm not going to just assume every famous conservative is quite so reprehensible as Paul is without some evidence. Frankly I find I disgusting the way Paul's supporters have tried to pretend that whole sorry episode of Paul's life never happened. Even if he didn't personally write the passages, it seems quite clear who knew of their content prior to publishing and intentionally left them in as a strategy to boost the sales of his newsletters. Anyone who thinks saying, "Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal," is acceptable if it will raise profits is a pretty horrible person. And I don't think much higher of someone who wants to pretend those things never happened just so they can support a guy who sometimes talks about legalizing pot. Some things are more important than getting high.

Huh, I support Jill Stein. Who's that?
*reads wikipedia.
JILL STEIN IS AWESOME! How have I not heard of this lady before? I literally want her to run EVERYTHING!

The only thing that surprises me is that I apparently agree with Obama so much. Then again, I always said he had good ideas and that he just needed a backbone.

I kind of hope Seekster swings by so we can see his results. I'm curious. :p

He told me he is taking a break from Escapist. Said he is "tired of the bullshit".

Heh. It'll be a bit boring around here without him. So few debates coming up nowadays on this forum. I guarantee if he took this quiz and posted it, he would probably get flamed to oblivion for something. Can't blame him for that.

I'm probably closer to Seekster than most on these forums so since he's not here I offer myself to the pyre.

Romney 86%
Ron Paul 84%
Gary Johnson 82%
Barack Obama 21%

I didn't respond to the importance of the question except for the first few questions.

Stagnant:
I do find it interesting that I agree with 66% of American voters, and around 78% of Maine voters, when I am in fact pushing for a very, very liberal agenda. Kinda bizarre, when you think about how "we're a center-right country" is thrown around so casually.

66% of american voters who took the test, plus not all people who took the test are american, so results on that part are iffy at best.

Seanchaidh:
Who the hell is Virgil Goode, and why is he so wrong?

Virigil Goode is the head of the Constitution party, they adhere to what they call "Paleo-Conservatism" which is supposed to be more original Founding Father-esque stands on issues. For example they're isolationists in foreign policy. Otherwise they're just a right wing party with an ideology born out of the Cold War.

I thought it was interesting that there was a candidate for President who I disagreed with on 95% of the issues:

http://www.isidewith.com/results/31375574:7750797

Then I realized that Virgil Goode doesn't want evolution taught in public schools and wants to increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders and wants to outlaw abortion. I didn't think anyone who thought such things could even position themselves to get on the ballot as President.

I sided with Jill Stein 85%

85% Green
70% Democratic
44% Libertarian
7% Republican

Never heard of Jill Stein until now. I wish that she actually had a chance in the elections, because then America might have a leader who isn't an idiot.

http://www.isidewith.com/results/25859343

I guess I'd be fairly liberal if I didn't want to abolish the very concept of authority.

http://www.isidewith.com/results/32602974

I seem to side with Obama and Jill Stein the most. Not surprised that I hardly agree with the representatives of the insa...... I mean republicans.

Seanchaidh:

I seem to agree with Jill Stein a lot, but about things that I don't care about that much. So that's why Obama gets the higher score.

http://www.isidewith.com/results/26164496

All i gathered from reading about Virgil Goode is he's an utterly brain dead fuck-weasel. Every stance he has on everything is basically utterly contemptible. If this man is ever elected president i'm voting the first prime minister who wants to go to war with America into power. Eugh.

I like this Jill Stein. Her policies are really good! Shame shes green. That kinda throws her out of the running. At least Obama is a good approximation of the more important things.

Well I am Canadian and all, but what the hay. :)

I never thought I'd see a Canadian side with Romney more than Obama.

Yeah, this guy seems to be the manifestation of everything that's so utterly wrong with American Social Conservatism.

I sided mostly with Ron Paul. Not terribly surprising, Kinda sad he dropped out of the running since I dislike both of the candidates right now. Obama is not doing a very fair job and Romney's policies are not appealing to me very well.

I'm actually a lot more on board with the Dems than I thought. Kind of disconcerting.

About the -only- thing he and I agreed on was on Government being allowed to police the internet:

Virgil Goode:
No, and enact legislation preventing any level of government policing the internet

Your similar answer: No

But..thinking on it a bit further...I only meant no in the sense that I still think it's a good idea to devote some resources toward combating paedophilia, fraud/scamming etc. on the internet (though maybe this falls to law enforcement rather that the government itself, though they still need to pass those kind of laws first don't they?), however, Goode seems to be indicating he wants the government out of the internet period.

I want to mention that the site has added some new question to the survey. I can't remember all of the new ones, but I know that one of them was along the lines of "Should the US continue to use the death penalty?"

Feel free to take the quiz again to see if your results changed. As for me, my results changed a bit, although my top 4 candidates (Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Barack Obama, and Ron Paul) remained the same.

Well, if Whitby and Scarborough ever becomes a US state at least I know that I should be voting green.

Yucky, dirty Green.

Ew.

Stop necroing threads. We chose the Paladin for a reason.

99% Gary Johnson
97% Ron Paul
65% Stewart Alexander
31% Mitt Romney
17% Barack Obama

I can't say I'm surprised. I am glad that it said "No Major Issues" for agreeing with Romney, since he's a pretty giant douche.

Well this is hilarious, 58% of people in my state of Idaho would favour Gary Johnson but the majority as a whole have support for the democratic party. And I personally side with Jill Stein. Now I feel bad that I don't even know who she is.

The irony there is painful.

Not a US citizen, but apparently my choice is Ron Paul. However, no one in US politics is a close match for me:

http://www.isidewith.com/results/55146928

Here's my results. I was a little surprised. I thought I was less in line with the top candidate in mine.

Most Canadians are not "left" "right" voters (although sadly its becoming more common). We actually think for ourselves and don't feel the need to align with what one party says.

I sided most with Ron Paul, followed by Gary Johnson.

This comes as a big surprise to absolutely no one.

I found a few of the questions dumb and many of the answers either redundant or sorely lacking. The test twice said "instill" instead of "install", and another two questions (minimum wage and national parks) offered both a "let the states decide" option AND an answer that was functionally identical.

Stagnant:
Green Party. Why am I not surprised? Those guys are, you know, not crazy.

Only on personal freedom issues that aren't gun-control.

wintercoat:
Edit: Who the hell is Virgil Goode and why are his policies so bad?

Seanchaidh:
Who the hell is Virgil Goode, and why is he so wrong?

What part of upholding the Constitution, securing the border, energy independence, totally scrapping our 17,000-page tax code and replacing it with something that's not a pile of horseshit written by corporations for their own benefit, bringing the troops home, and Congressional term limits do you disagree with?

Bassik:
I got like, 95% Jill Stein.
Is that good? Who is she, and why does she agree with me so much?

Trasch17:
Not American but whatever...
http://www.isidewith.com/results/26849030

Who the hell is Jill Stein?

She's just some socialist whore pretending to be important.

Bassik:
Hey wait, she sounds great. Why don't people vote for her instead of the same liars we always get?

Because people smart enough to hate "the same liars we always get" are smart enough to be Ron Paul supporters.

pyrate:
For example, Ron Paul does not actually want to legalize marijuana, the Constitution has nothing to say on the matter so he wants it to be left up to the States. It is the same with abortion, a Libertarian would allow abortion, Ron Paul personally wants to ban abortion

Not quite. RP really does believe that marijuana should be legal for all. Libertarians are divided on the matter of abortion. RP is personally pro-life but politically pro-choice.

JET1971:
Another problem is the electorial colledge, that shit was designed for telegraphs and people running the result from the machine to another person who relayed it as well. today where we measure comunication time in miliseconds that crap is just stupid.
...

Electorial colledge is designed for the 17/1800's and a 2 party system, today it is not the best solution and actualy hurts the country.

Wrong. The EC predates the existence of political parties. The problem is not the EC; rather, the problem is with the popular vote. The President is supposed to be chosen by the state governments, with each state government getting a number of "votes" equal to its representation in Congress. This is a VERY GOOD IDEA, because each state has a vested interest in allocating its votes to a candidate who won't shit all over states' rights and the Constitution. The concept of holding a popular vote, and assigning each state's electoral votes according to the popular vote in that state, is the part that fucks everything up, and it fucked things up just as badly in the 1800s as it does today.

Warforger:
The last Pragmatic president we had was Clinton and before him Nixon

Nope. The correct answer is Grover Cleveland.

Doitpow:
Huh, I support Jill Stein. Who's that?
*reads wikipedia.
JILL STEIN IS AWESOME! How have I not heard of this lady before? I literally want her to run EVERYTHING!

Maybe you should move to Cuba or North Korea first to get a taste of what a Green administration would be like.

Newby_Newb:

No, she's quite an idiot.

Elect G-Max:

Not quite. RP really does believe that marijuana should be legal for all. Libertarians are divided on the matter of abortion. RP is personally pro-life but politically pro-choice.

No, he's not pro-choice. Or rather, not "pro-choice" as it's generally used.

He's for states deciding for themselves, which - given many Republican-leaning states would heavily restrict or ban it outright - means Paul is happy for many women to be denied choice.

Apparently i'm a democrat and green. Hmm didn't expect the "green" one.
