Glassbooth.org: A \"What candidate are you?\" Quiz
 
Glassbooth.org

I saw a few quizzes in the past but not this one. It's a two-stage quiz where you put 20 points into what you value most (foreign policy, economics, health care, etc.) then it asks questions about how strongly you agree with certain statements. Plus, this one has a "skip" answer option [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] I'm not smart enough to know how accurate it is,

but I got:

73% Ron Paul
71% Fred Thompson
60% John McCain

One problem I found with this is that they consider opposition to NAFTA opposition to free trade in general. As far as I have learned NAFTA is not really free trade and puts in a lot of regulation. I like the idea of free trade, but NAFTA is not going to get us there.

I'm a little surprised that Thompson was third. I saw him on Meet The Press yesterday and he seemed like a standard neo-con. I think maybe it was just because of the gun rights stuff.

Ron Paul shares a 94% similarity with your beliefs

[/ QUOTE ]

Be careful; they have Dr. Paul's position on free trade incorrect. They have him moderately opposed to free trade; he is not. He completely supports free trade. He is however strongly opposed to "free trade", i.e. what is called free trade today, which is anything but (NAFTA, CAFTA, SHAFTA).

The more I think about, the more frustrated I become that McCain isn't a viable candidate. He's so much better than any of the other (conventional) Republican candidates.

This is an example of why polls like this are counterproductive. They boil down complex positions into soundbite-style answers so stripped of detail that they lose their meaning.

It might just be a display issue, since the test says that Ron Paul and I have 75% similarity in the area. Moderately oppose and strong support aren't really similar. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That is an important point. NAFTA is not free trade at all due to the regulations it creates.

The one-world-government types or new-world-order types (Bush41, and apparently Bush43 also) seem to love things like NAFTA that take sovereignty away from the USA and transfer it to unaccountable international organizations.
