Who’s Jim Gilmore?

Look’s like I’m stuck with Ron Paul no matter how many quizzes I take.

Bill Richardson, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich are my top 3. Then a bunch of other democrats- Hillary Clinton is dead last of the Democrats. Then of the Republicans, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are at the top of the Republicans. Fred Thompson’s on the bottom of the Republicans.

Well, I’m an Obama girl..but you won’t catch me shaking my stuff on youtube.

This says Giuliani is my top feller. How interesting. Shows how into the issues I am.

Didn’t work very well. Except it did put Hillary and John Edwards at he bottom. That part was right.

Well, if Number 9 and John and I aren’t telling, then I won’t either.

I will say that Fred Thompson and Rudy came in dead last for me

That test is wrong, at least as far as the top is concerned. I think it was wrong as far as the candidates on issues. I put that I disagreed with a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and it said I disagreed with Fred Thompson who is also opposed to such an amendment. It did have Hillary last, so at least it got that right. I disagreed with her on every single issue except marriage. It should be noted though that it was Bill Clinton who signed DEMA into law. So I wouldn’t trust her on that issue.

Dr. McCoy:

“You can’t argue with a damn machine”

The questions were mostly of the “do you still beat your wife” sort. Having said that I was happy to see that Ron Paul was the only Reptilican who scored higher than 21 (he got 26) and that Tancredo, Thompson and Duncan Whosis were tied, at 3, for last.

“Reptilican”

And the hits just keep coming!

Is the opposite of Reptilican a DemoCat?
As long as there are no “LOL’s inserted in the latter, I could live with that one.

It also had Fred way near the bottom with me. Reference post above about me and issues. I love Fred. Hilary was way down there as was Mitt.

I put that I disagreed with a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and it said I disagreed with Fred Thompson who is also opposed to such an amendment.

Fred Thompson has at various times both supported and opposed the marriage amendment. It depends on who he thinks the audience is who is watching that particular interview.

Dolphin, you are wrong. Fred Thompson opposes the amendment on the basis of federalism.

Mine alternated almost all the way down. the number one on my list still had several areas where we disagreed. And maybe that’s one of the problems. Maybe we all have too many things we’re overly concerned about and things would get better if we could just lighten up.

Naah. That’s silly.

Glen, I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess I follow gay marriage news closer than you do:
Thompson would push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage

In the time I spent searching I couldn’t find the transcrup of the actually CNN interview, but here is the question and answer as quoted on numerous other sites:

Fred Thompson was asked Friday by CNN whether, as president, he would “actively push a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.” Thompson responded “Yes.”

ahh, found the video:

Thompson on gay marriage.

Well it thinks I’m a tad more liberal than I really am, but that’s always the case with these quizzes that eliminate important matters of context and nuance.

It picked:
Kucinich, Gravel, Dodd, Biden, Richardson, followed by a three way tie between Giuliani, Clinton, and Obama, then Edwards, Paul, and Romney, with the rest of the Republicans rounding out the bottom with Tancredo and Huckabee dead last — it definitely got that part right.

Whereas I would pick:
Gravel, Richardson, Paul, Kucinich, Obama, Romney, Edwards-Clinton-Giuliani, and would write in Eric Cartman below that.

^Kickass.

see, i always thought that elections for everything ought to include a “none of the above” candidate. if “none” won, then the election would start all over again but no prior candidate could run. at worst, it would just paralyze government. or is that at best….

Holy crap, Jim, what a great idea.

Your right Dolphin. I have never seen that video.

Based on that video and everything else he has said, what do you think he would really do?

Holy crap, Jim, what a great idea

yeah, I know. *blush* the only problem is getting the votes on it…

Crap.

I feel like the kid in Peanuts who gets a rock in his bag for haloween.

I got McCain as my #1.

I liked this one better:

http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html

It correctly identified me as a left-libertarian, placing Kucinich and Gravel first and second, but Ron Paul third — and Hillary dead last among Democrats before the list switched to the non-Paul Republicans.

Based on that one Joe, the candidate the other one said I should vote for ended up seventh.

Jim and Ivy -

I remember a SciFi story from years ago that dealt with the topic of presidential elections. The candidates were chosen by computer and anyone could nominate anyone, including themselves. A questionnaire was filled out and the computer chose the President based on its instructions to find “the best qualified candidate.”

One election year, someone added a comma to the sentence guiding the computer in its quest. Choosing “the best qualified candidate” became choosing “the best, qualified candidate” - two VERY different propositions.

The country came away confused and leaderless when the computer refused to choose anyone because there were NO qualified candidates at all for it to choose.

I’m not sure that would be a bad thing …

Based on that video and everything else he has said, what do you think he would really do?

Repeat the GWB presidency for 4/8 more years.

I really, really don’t (heart) Huckabee.
