Azazello1313 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i like the theory behind that one, letting you assign the points and all that. but the output is a little retarded. i had mccain and huckabee at 74%, then romney and obama at 68% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveman_Nick Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 most similar with Huckabee at 79%. Second with Romney at 74%, and third with McCain at 71%. Wouldn't vote for Huckabee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I've filled out this site a few times and the results were puzzling to say the least. . .like my top 2 choices were Obama and Romney. . I've found other sites to be much more trustworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 what that thing ought to do is give a little extra weight to candidates who have particular experience or poll particularly well on a given issue. for example, i gave like 4 or 5 of my priority points to "iraq war and foreign policy", but this thing had huckabee scoring the same or higher for me than mccain on that issue. now i don't think that ANYBODY who prioritizes foreign policy is going to vote for huckabee on the basis of him being the best candidate on that issue. similarly, i don't think anybody who prioritizes pro-life and anti-gay is going to look at mccain as favorably as someone like huckabee, even though i believe they have a lot of the same stated positions.

polksalet Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Whenever I see civil liberties I believe if you wan a democrat you put in a hgih number, if you want no civil liberties you put in low number. Idiocy. It seems like the right to be born is a civil liberty but what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiocy. It seems like the right to be born is a civil liberty but what do I know? If there's one issue I wish would go away it would be abortion. And by go away, I mean I wish it would become statistically insignificant - ie very very rare. I've always been uncomfortable with that one. I'm not sure about legislation to ban it. I'm on the fence there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence there. it is odd that this issue is such an important litmus test for both parties. i understand why people feel passionately about it, but in the grand scheme it is a small issue which the president of the US has almost no power over whatsoever.

Bill Swerski Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Huckabee: 82% Romney: 79% McCain: 75% It's significantly flawed because it's not nearly comprehensive enough, but still interesting. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 wrong, president, congress, and senate could stop it. maybe you should take a civics class. 2/3 of the senate, 2/3 of the house, and 3/4 of the state legislatures could stop it. the president has no role whatsoever in amending the constitution.

I'm not so sure an amendment to the constitution would be needed. You'd just need legislation passed to ban abortion by the congress and signed by the President, and then a Supreme Court stacked with pro-life judges to back up that legislation as constitutional, right?

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 What happened to being for states rights? That argument is only used by Republicans when it suits their agenda. (And to be fair, Democrats occasionally as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
