Re: Find your Presidential match

Hehe, it put me at 100% Ron Paul, then 60% was the next one down. I've never heard of him.

Yeah. The answers too (check #10)!

BTW, shouldn't this thread be in the sandbox?

Interesting phrasing in the questions for sure, do you want a president who promises to kill puppies, or do you think that puppies should be allowed to breed recklessly out of control until a breed of super-puppies evolve that will attack and eat our children?

Uhm, well, gee, I guess I'm in favor of a President who's killing puppies then...

If only Jeb Bush was running, the choice would be clear.

Re: Find your Presidential match

Interesting. 7 out of my top 10 were republicans, yet I agree with almost none of their alledged policies. I think the questions could have been worded better, a broader range of answers should have been available, and a "none of the above" candidate should have been included.

You should pick congress based on those topics since they make the laws, and the president on their leadership ability.

As long as there's no argumentative discussion, I'll leave it out here...

And yeah, some of the questions were pretty shady. I certainly wouldn't use this to decide who you're going to give your vote to...

Not surprising for me that McCain is so high. I have been a big supporter of him for a long time and I vote for him every chance I get. As for Hillary, I think she is too closed minded.

Re: Find your Presidential match

It'd be interesting to actually analyze our results and see if it accurately predicts anything. If the TG community is a generic cross-section of the country (which it probably isn't) then maybe it can be close to predicting the next election's outcome. We should keep track of this. Especially as the candidates narrow down to just a few.
