Take a quiz and see who is your canidate...

[quote name='Hex']I have a dislike for Paul because he wants to give as much power to the states on every issue that he can- and to a degree, that's okay, but in some cases not at all-[/quote]

But at least he believes in personal liberty and that the government shouldn't interfere with people's relations.

[quote name='Hex']my biggest issue obviously being gay marriage.[/quote]

Obviously? How did I miss that vampire horses are the new symbol for supporting gay marriage? Maybe it's just obvious to people who know you better.
 
for the Ron Paul supporters, check out this site

His supporters are planing a Mass Donation Day for Nov 5th. Their goal is to have 100,000 supporters donate $100 each in one day. I just signed up. Right now they're at 8,000 signups.

Anyone?
 
Hm, strange. I got McCain with 32, followed by 31 for Ron Paul. I expected Ron Paul to be first...

Anyway, Hex, there's a much better solution than making marriage a federal issue: Get the government out of marriage altogether. I think you would be all for this, as gay marriage would be legal (it wouldn't even be a question of legality). Essentially, you and whomever you chose to form some sort of union with would declare marriage, and if anyone has a problem with it, they can't really do anything. There's no reason that the government needs to have any say in marriage, at all.

Oh, and if people insist on letting the government get involved, then I'm all for gay marriage. It's not like it's hurting anyone.

I like Stossel's opinion on Gay Marriage which is pretty much like you said. Basically we do away with marriage in governmental sense and turn the term to Civil Unions, leaving the title of marriage to be left up to Churches to grant. I'd like to see the Religious Right try to deal with the shitstorm of marriages granted by Liberal churches. Let's see them try to block all those, they'd probably go bankrupt trying.

Works for me. I certainly hope he beats out every other republican, in the least.
 
Here's a different candidate quiz I just found from USA Today. It's interesting the way it breaks it down and shows you in detail why each candidate is your ideal one. Then you can adjust how much each issue matters to you.

Mine came up as --
Ron Paul
Fred Thompson
Rudy Giuliani
Mitt Romney/Duncan Hunter/Hillary Clinton
Bill Richardson
With all the rest clumped together followed by Biden and Obama down at the bottom...

Evidently this one gives me Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson. At the bottom are Biden, Dodd, Obama and, to no surprise, Kucinich.

much better quiz than the first one.
it gave me Tom Tancedo who im not too familiar with so i guess ill go read up on him.
 
I like the second poll much better, the first was too black and white. For example, I wouldn't support an ammendment for or against gay marraige, I don't think government should be involved in marraige (I agree with prmononoke), but the first poll's options don't reflect the variety of views.

The second poll is better, you can even balance out the relative importance of each issue, but it's not perfect. It gave me Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, then Tom Tancredo. Ron Paul is already my first choice. Reading through Romney's opinions I wouldn't vote for him, I think he is too moderate in changing our tax system.
 
I like the second poll more as well. I got pretty much the same results though: 1.Kucinich, 2.Obama, 3.Clinton
 
Did anyone else notice the conspicuous absence of a question akin to "Would you vote for a sleazeball lyin'-through-his-teeth crook?"

Seriously though, the mainstream media has very little credibility (i.e. CNN or FOX News) and I wouldn't trust the results of any quiz. I am going with what I know is right.
 
i had this forwarded throughout my coworkers, maybe itll light a fire under those that are not involved in our countries political climate.
 
Wow, i got Dennis Kucinich. I'v been leanign towards paul, but it seems we disagree on almost everything.

At least his wife is hot, even if he looks like an dwarf compared to her.

Gravel, Paul, Dodd. The closest 3, and yet I never matched more than 3 issues for any of them. And I still can't wrap my head around Ron Paul despite doing some research (something seems OFF.)

All I fucking want is heathcare that will look at the underlying cause of my illness instead of the end effects, insurance that will cover my real problems instead of taking care of some stupid dick (HA!) who can't get his already lackluster boner up, and promote alternative medicine instead of synthetic half-assed drugs with worse side effects than the problem.

I seriously doubt any of that can happen in 4, 8, or even 12 years.
