Title: Play the candidate match game!
Post by: bj229r on December 08, 2007, 08:14:49 AM: Interesting thing, Romney won mine, but these guys have a habit of saying stuff they don't believe (I guess that's a grand tradition though)

Post by: Coshy on December 08, 2007, 08:44:45 AM: My top 3 were Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul. Pity that none of them will win the Republican nomination.

That was my opinion too but Mike Huckabee seems to be coming on strong.

He's revised his 'border' stance last day or so

Post by: E25280 on December 08, 2007, 12:43:22 PM: It would be nice if you could rate each of the positions on a scale of 1 to 5. The way the questions are set, you either agree or disagree, period. But on several of the questions, I had one that was "the best" answer in my book, but several I could live with, and others I don't want at all.

One of the best examples was the question on taxes. I might want to scrap it entirely, but think the flat tax or making the Bush tax cut perminant would be good ideas too, but absolutely oppose raising taxes. The only candidate that will get any "credit" for that tax position is the one that matches exactly, and it rates candidates who want a flat tax, maintaining tax cuts and raising taxes are all the same.

Post by: lasersailor184 on December 08, 2007, 07:36:46 PM: Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and then Fred Thompson.

Though there were several questions that I would have rather not picked an answer for.

Question #4: Kick them all out with prejudice was not an answer.
Question #5: Ditto, plus fine them tens of thousands of dollars each, as well as charge for any welfare received on top of that. Then, begin to consider applications to get back into the country, but actually only let their applications process if there are no other immigrants who haven't entered illegally applying.
Question #6: By realizing it's not the government's responsibility.
Question #7: Ditto
Question #8: Abolish it entirely.

So my results may be skewed considering they didn't have the correct answers for 5/11 of the questions.

Post by: clerick on December 08, 2007, 08:52:47 PM: Fred Thompson. Not a surprise since i am able to research on my own. How on Earth Hillbilly Clinton can be in this thing is beyond me. She waffles so much its amazing that she doesn't show up as everyone's top pick.
