How Close Do Your Views Match With The Views of the Politicians?
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 07:10 AM by Forever Free
Here's my score: I'm 75% in agreement with John Kerry's position, while only a mere 20% for Bush. I'm also in 60% in agreement with Wesley Clark and Howard Dean. However, I score even lower for Dick Cheney and John Ashcroft, at 15%.

This is a great site because you can compare your views to the 2004 Democratic primary candidates, Bush's Cabinet, the Supreme Court, Senate and House members, political celebrities, and even political philosophies.

Check it out!

1. only 43% in agreement with Kerry
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 07:28 AM by Meme
18% with bush. Well.. I have to admit that the number one reason I liked Kerry was because he wasn´t Bush. To be honest I didn´t really know what his opinions were. I did watch the debates to find out more about him, and I really did agree with him most of the time. So: according to this test it´s only 43% but I skipped some questions because I had no idea what they meant, so I think I might agree more with Kerry. But hey.. according to this test I still agree with him the most :D

2. LOL I knew this from earlier tests,,,,, It still rings true.
Nader policies & my beliefs are 80%
second for me was Cobb ~ who btw I've never read anything about
Kerry was third,,,,

Bush, of course, was at the bottom of the barrel.


during the Democratic Primaries ~

I would match Kucinich 100%
with Al Sharpton & Carol Mosely Braun scoring higher than Kerry,,,,


but I voted for Kerry and I support him!!

3. Hmm, 70% Nader... where's Walt Brown though?
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 09:09 AM by DireStrike
53% Kerry. Bush dead last with 8%.

Bush cabinet starts off with Colin Powell at 23%, and goes sharply downhill.

Apparently I agree with ALAN KEYES more than JOHN MCCAIN! Woah. The tipping point is in economics somewhere.

At the very bottom of my "political celebrities" list: Reagan, Bush2, Bush1, Quayle, Limbaugh, Ashkkkroft.

In the supreme court I start off with Souter at 25%... man, this is not my country.

EDIT: Seems like the "federal funding for health care" question is broken. I *ALWAYS* show up as having picked "strongly oppose" no matter what I pick.

Hmm... I went back and picked "strongly support", and left everything else as no opinion. On the analysis page, everything was no opinion - EXCEPT "school vouchers", which was "strongly support."

Something is cockeyed here.

EDIT2: I found out that voucher and health care answers were switched. Answered the same except switched those two answers, and then the "privatize social security" became strong support, despite me putting strong oppose!

This test has serious problems.
