Who is your perfect presidential candidate?
Seeing as US Presidents like to think of themselves as the leaders of the free world, despite not being accountable to the majority of it, we might as well know whose the most compatible US President to our own views.
Select Smart has a good list of policies for you to agree with or disagree with and it'll give you the most compatible presidential candidate from most of those currently standing plus all the democrat hopefuls: http://www.selectsmart.com/president/ For me: Quote:
Anyway, go Ralph Nader! If you were a woman we'd be a perfect match I imagine hehe

It is futile; the US will never allow Europe to vote alongside them, even though it would greatly benefit the feeling of "one big world". And besides, we've got our own fish to fry Getting Balkenende out of office, for instance

Who's number 15 on your lists? Never heard of him.
I started reading question 1 but it sounded too much like a party political broadcast on behalf of every party. So I lost interest.

How amusing... my top rated candidate was Dennis Kucinich. It's funny because I was running a camera when we broadcast his visit to UCSC, so he's the only candidate I've actually seen speak in person. Nice guy, good ideas, but he doesn't have a prayer come electiontime

I'm a little disturbed to find Sharpton coming in at #2. What could possibly be wrong with me? Don't answer. The forum server would crash under the load.
Actually, my ideal is William Henry Harrison. Quote:

1. Your ideal theoretical candidate. (100%)
2. Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat (83%) 3. Socialist Candidate (75%) 4. Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat (74%) 5. Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat (70%) 6. Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat (68%) 7. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (63%) 8. Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat (60%) 9. LaRouche, Lyndon H. Jr. - Democrat (49%) 10. Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat (48%) 11. Libertarian Candidate (32%) 12. Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat (27%) 13. Bush, President George W. - Republican (26%) 14. Phillips, Howard - Constitution (10%) It's too bad that none of the Democrat candidates are particularly charismatic. Let's face it, if you don't have as much money as your opponent, you're need to be made-for-TV. Kucinich is a very charming guy, but not charismatic. He's too quiet and friendly. Howard Dean scares me. Al Sharpton makes me laugh. Wesley Clark is clumsy, almost like he's deliberately mocking himself. I think John Edwards is actually the only one with some charisma, but this is cancelled out by me being totally neutral towards what he has to say. Oh, and I hate Joe Lieberman, especially after the things he said about video games, so the test got that right. |

Unless this is a fault of the website or it is propaganda, what kind of trend is that? In the last elections, and up until now, about 50% of America has supported Bush. Yet everyone I know (becuase I live in New York City), and all of us, are against Bush. Is it something about intelligent web users? Or adventure gamers? Any comments as to why we are all liberal? And does everyone you know (within the US) hate Bush? |
