1. Bogus quiz! Takes into account issues instead of polls and money!

How can you trust something that rates candidates on issues and not poll numbers and magazine covers?

It's all hogwash.


anyway...

1. Kucinich 100%
2. Sharpton 88%
3. Kerry 82%
Last Place: Bush 1% I guess you can't disagree with someone all the time.

Hey that is exactly my top 3. before and after Iowa...


TWL


p.s. Yes I was being sarcastic at the beginning of my post :).

[sweetheart]

2. 100% match on Dennis

Then Sharpton!!! 88% kerry 84% dean 81% clark 81% edwards 76% lieberman 68%

That lines up with my "thinking" except sharpton is someone i seriously know very little about, though i respect him.

I hope he joins the administration that wins... if kucinich did not exist, Al might very well be my champion.... and in a way he is already from what i hear... he is a man of great integrity.

[xultar]

3. Wow, on things that matter the most to me Edwards and Dean

are more to the right.

Kerry was 100% for me
Clark was 97% for me

Muy interesante'

[maddezmom]

4. here are mine

1 Kerry Score: 100%

2 Clark Score: 91%

3 Kucinich Score: 91%

4 Edwards Score: 88%

[funky_bug]

5. Not bad... enlightening, in fact

100% match with Clark
93% match with Dean

Actually, I'll stop there. THAT, was the enlightening part.

Must be the love fest goin' on here at GD :smoke:

[Goldom]

6. not bad.

1. Kucinich 100%
2. Sharpton 90%
3. Kerry 88%
4. Dean 84%
5. Clark 83%
6. Edwards 76%
7. Lieberman 67%
8. Bush 3%

Pretty close to what I think. Cept I dunno what Sharpton's doing way up there...

[mlawson]

7. 100% on Kucinich, 94% with Sharpton.

This seems like a common result here. But I base my support on which candidate has best chance of beating bush, and IMO that person is John Edwards, easily.

[Clark4Prez]

8. Well what do ya know

Here was mine:

Kucinich 100%

Kerry 99%

Sharpton 95%

Clark 94%

Dean 89%

Edwards 83%

Lieberman 76%


If I was a betting man I would have said

Clark
Dean
Kerry
Edwards
Kucinich
Sharpton
Lieberman

Today's lession, never follow my bet! :crazy:

Thanks for the link.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

10. lol, who is your pick for the Superbowl?

Maybe I should bet on the other team? :P

[Clark4Prez]

16. Bet your check on the Eagles

Oh wait, never mind.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

9. Mine

100 percent for Sharpton and Kucinich

89 percent for Kerry

86 percent for Clark and Dean

75 percent for Edwards.

:shrug:

[elperromagico]

11. 1. Kerry (100%)

2. Kucinich (97%)
3. Clark (92%)
4. Sharpton (90%)
5. Dean (88%)
6. Edwards (86%)
7. Lieberman (79%)
8. Bush (14%)

I got 14% for Bush. I'm very upset about that.

[Clark Can WIN]

12. Clark 100% Kerry 91%

So that jives perfectly with my short list :-)

[THUNDER HANDS]

13. Lets Compare Kerry and Edwards

According to this the major differences between Kerry and Edwards are:

Edwards opposes requiring safety courses and licenses before buying a gun and Kerry supports it.

Edwards opposes allowing lawsuits against gun manufacturers (odd, for a lawyer, don't you think?) and Kerry supports it.

Edwards opposes cap payments to the wealthy and Kerry supports it.

(note - what ARE cap payments?)

that's all I could find between them. Sounds like they'd be great running mates to me. :)

[hedgetrimmer]

25. a cap payment means that wealthy persons only get x amount of s.s. $.

[DaisyUCSB]

14. Hmm, pretty right on, I guess I'm more moderate than most people here

Kerry       100 %
Clark        91 %
Dean         85 %
Edwards      85 % 
Lieberman    84 % 
Sharpton     84 %
Kucinich     80 %

[diamondsoul]

15. Kucinich 100%

Now THIS is a Presidential selector!

Kucinich 100%
Kerry 80%
Dean 77%
Edwards 71%
Lieberman 61%

The last two are pretty revealing about why some Kucinich supporters have such problems with them. 61%, Joe? Day-YUM!

[diamondsoul]

18. AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Ok, so I backed up a page and resubmitted my responses to include all the potential candidates- First that Bumped Dennis down to second place with 91%, Below Sharpton-

But the kicker was they put the Commander in Thief in there at the very bottom, but claim he scored 81% agreement with my issues- Uuuuhhh, can we say spin?!

[ThirdWheelLegend]

27. hmm

you sure you checked all the answers?

I wonder if it reset some of your responses when you did that.

17. My scores

1 Kucinich Score: 100%
I'm very surprised.
2 Kerry Score: 100%
I'm slightly surprised.
3 Dean Score: 94%
Hmmm...
4 Clark Score: 93%
Lower than I thought.
5 Sharpton Score: 91%
Higher than I thought.
6 Edwards Score: 86%
hmmm...
7 Lieberman Score: 77%
Much higher than I thought.
8 Bush Score: 16%
Embarassing. But I think it's artificially inflated because it claims Bush had military service, and I don't think deserters should be counted as serving.

[LWolf]

19. Kucinich 100%

Sharpton 83%

Kerry 77%

Dean 74%

Edwards 73%

Clark 69%

Lieberman 61%

GWB 5%

[Razoor]

20. 100% Kerry

interesting I am leaning towards Kerry used to be for Dean
but good to know i match him 100%
matched up with bush 17% :puke:

[adamrsilva]

22. Mine

DK
Al
Kerry
Dean
Clark
Edwards
Lieb
Dumbya

-Of course, I support Dean over DK and Sharpton for obvious reason, and Kerry because of the war vote. All in all, they were really close with the exception of Lieb and Bush.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

23. "Dean over DK and Sharpton for obvious reason" ?

I don't think it's obvious, why are you not supporting the candidate/s that best represent you?

:shrug:


TWL

[adamrsilva]

30. Cause 99% of America think they are completely

nuts.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

34. you're completely nuts?

You matched up with DK as number 1, are you completely nuts too?

:)

TWL

[plurality]

24. mine is ...

Kucinich 100%
Sharpton 88%
Dean 87%
Kerry 87%
Clark 82%
Edwards 80%
Lieberman 69%

also be sure and do the candidate compare, you'll see some interesting things.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

26. where is the 'candidate compare'?

thanks,
TWL

[diamondsoul]

33. When you get the results page

you can click a name and there's a link that says "compare to other candidates". From there it lets you select which candidates to compare and see how they categorize the responses by candidate.

[Ramsey]

28. Dean and Kerry tie

In my poll. Clark doesn't appear at all because I checked prior elected office essential. If I don't check that he comes in at number 5. That surprised me.

It actually has Kucinich matching me at 100%. Dean mainly loses points on my scale for his gun positions, but I don't care that much about that issue in the whole scheme of things.

Oddly it says Kerry "strongly opposes" the Patriot Act even though he voted for it, so I am not sure how useful this thing is.

I am happy to say that Bush gets less than 10% and interestingly Lieberman is at 65%, so maybe he' not all bad.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

29. Hmm so even without the gun issue, Kucinich is still 100%

Kucinich 100%, you brush that off to the gun issue. So even without that issue, Kucinich is still 100%. Yet you still brush him off? :)

Anyway I would think that it is more than the gun issue. How did you vote on NAFTA issue? Patriot Act issue? Troops issue? Military spending issue? Health care issue?

Kucinich and Dean differ on all those.

[no name no slogan]

31. Suprise suprise (well, not really)

1) Kucinich (100%)
2) Sharpton (90%)
3) Kerry (85%)
4) Dean (78%)
5) Clark (78%)
6) Edwards (75%)
7) Liebermann (65%)

I excluded the Repubs from my choices. I have NEVER voted for a Republican in all my life, and I see no need to break that streak in 2004 :evilgrin:

[lurk_no_more]

32. Yes!!

I'm a General and was a Nato Commander too, I'm a Rhodes Scholar and I am running for President....I am the real General Clark, the impostor everyone sees on TV is......nevermind.


And then there were none!
” JAFO”

[elperromagico]

37. Your impostor looked a little pale last night.

Send him out for a tan, please. ;)

[vision]

35. Kuncinich 100%

Kucinich 100%
Sharpton 89%
Kerry 82%
Dean 78%
Clark 76%
Edwards 71%
Lieberman 64%
Bush 0% :)

About what I expected on the issues.

[spooky3]

36. it's fun but not quite accurate on Edwards and probably not on others

"somewhat opposes" etc. is a matter of interpretation, for example.

But cool website!

[hippywife]

38. Just as I thought

Kucinich 100%
Kerry 95%

[youngred]

39. 100% match for Dennis Kucinich

5% for chimpy.

I match pretty well with my candidate I'd say.

But that quiz is kinda bogus as it has some old, unclarified positions for the candidates and there is a bias against non-office holders or military men

[Walt Starr]

40. Not even close

but I see this as an election of populists vs. corporatists.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

41. 100% Kucinich 90% Sharpton 81% Kerry 78% Dean 75% Clark 0% bush

Interesting but not surprising. Dean's my candidate and I won't vote for Kerry.
