Select A Candidate
 

This has probably already been done. But, if you're interested, the link below is a quick questionnaire that helps identify which candidates share your views. After you submit your responses, ignore the advert and click "HERE" at the top of the page.

Apparently, my views are best represented by ugly candidates with little to no chance of winning.

Why does every time embryonic stem cell research come up, the only choice is how much the federal government should support it? How is this the role of government? (Much less the federal government?)

Because right now to me no conservative is putting forth a comprehensive plan that makes a lot of sense to me. Just goes to show how fractured the Republican party is. I listen to Newt all the time on various news/commentary outlets and tend to agree with him far more than any current candidate.

Re: Select A Candidate
 

I would rather the racist Don Imus himself run before Newt Gingrich. THis is my thoughts. Gore, Obama , Clinton. i wish Bill could run again and I know Gore has not official put his name in yet.

That's because the poll doesn't cover his crazier positions (gold standard, eliminate the income tax).

How do you answer this and get Obama/Paul/Kucinich. Three completely different points on the spectrum IMO.

Those aren't crazy. Keeping a counterfeit currency standard and an income tax are crazy. They are both terrible policy.

Re: Select A Candidate
 

Ron Paul 88% LDO.

Re: Select A Candidate
 

I would like to see your full list. I have to say I was surprised to see mine peopled with candidates I might not have otherwise thought about.

Re: Select A Candidate
 

Number 2 was McManigal, number 3 was Keyes. Beyond that I don't recall. Never heard of McManigal, and I think Keyes is a bombastic jackass.

It's not like the president can make the gold standard happen without the help of congress anyway, so that can be safely ignored.
