Political views
Posted in Life, Politics, Religion, Teaching on 11/28/2007 12:55 am by KatieI took this survey here: http://www.dehp.net/candidate/index.php. The candidates are ranked by how much I agree with them, and then the policies that I disagree with the candidate are listed next. Frankly, I think that if Dennis Kucinich and I disagree on No Child Left Behind, we cannot possibly be friends. So I’ve bumped myself down to being a Gravel supporter. Take the test, let me know what you got. Oh, and let’s all pretend that we’re shocked that Mitt Romney is my LEAST agreed-with candidate. *eyeroll*

Romney -70Okay, here’s a really simple way to find out which candidates share your views. This script is composed entirely of data collected by www.2decide.com. Enter your choices below and hit GO to rank the candidates.
Here’s how it works, if you want to know. If you agree with a candidate, he gets point(s). If you disagree, take point(s) away. Unkown/other results in no points. The number of points given or taken depends on the weight you set. “Meh” is worth 1 point, “important” 2, and “key” is worth 5. The items you disagree about will be listed directly underneath each candidate (if they score greater than zero).

You don’t like Ron Paul? I’m disappointed.

I’m not sure if you’re joking or not. *peer* But here, this writer summed up why I don’t like Ron Paul:

Also, y’know, I’m not a Republican, so…
