I want a "none of the above" on ballots.

Then move to Nevada.

So you want no one. Interesting choice.

I want the option of officially stating that if people find the choices unsatisfying it becomes officially recorded and if enough feel that way we get to have different choices.

While there were no surprises in the quiz results I find the questions annoying from a couple directions. I am pro gun rights but the question concerning gun rights asks not it I support gun rights but if I support the positions of the NRA. I think the NRA are a bunch of nutjobs, not because of their stand on the 2nd Amendment but because they are so weak on the rest of the Constitution and happily support anti-constitution candidates. So I had to select "other" for that question. The quiz also unnecessarily limits the choices such as wrt healthcare. Obamacare or not Obamacare status quo excludes possibilities from single payer systems to radical free market approaches.

The quiz is deeply flawed. Most of the questions were shamelessly false dichotomies. Having a "Neither" option doesn't instill any confidence in the ability of the quiz to accurately account for views which don't fit the moronic pigeonholes presented.

Oh no. How could such a thing happen.

I was shocked, shocked to find a disingenuous quiz on political issues!

I guess folk just have no damn personal shame anymore. Now what on earth can I do to fix that. Hummmmmmmm?

OK all you assholes who participate, push, and gloat over the results of such quizzes are a totally and completely brain dead bunch of assholes, and a generalized embarrassment to the whole human race. Please all take some time out, go to the corner with your dunce hats on, and spend an hour feeling the real shame you've brought upon yourselves. And do it now, you fucking bunch of idiots.

Of course the "quiz" is flawed. It's about politictis, is it not? Remember I said:

"Here's a fun little quiz to match your views with those of one of the candidates.

Enjoy."

Did you at least try it to have some fun?

Okay, either this poll is really flawed or I have to go hide in a closet now for the next 15 months.

I tend to agree with that. Some of the questions did not give enough "choice" to make it accurate.

 

[a777pilot]

Good Lord, people, this is suppose to be fun. Of course the quiz is flawed. It's about politics so there is no way it could not be flawed. Just take the quiz and see what some one else thinks of your choices (as given).

My top choice was Newt. LOL! There is no way I will support him for the GOP nomination.

Never heard of this guy. Goes to read about him.

"Fun." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You are probably right.

[Schadenfroh]

Looks like Newt Gingrich at 79% is my leading candidate, followed by Rick Santorum (77%) and Wayne Allyn Root (77%).

The test is off...

 

[CPA]

newt first @92%
obama last @15%

 

[sportage]

This quiz must have been from long ago. Picking very liberal viewpoints, it gives you Obama. Hardly the correct choice. Not the Obama of 2011. Maybe candidate Obama of 2008, but not the Obama of 2011. I truly believe Obama regrets his healthcare reform he got thru back when. If it were today, Im sure Obama would have lost interest and scrapped his healthcare reform all together.

My first impression turned out to be right. When Obama first got started and Hillary was thought to be the likely candidate in the end, then Obama won Iowa, I thought at the time Obama shouldn't even be in the mix. Now even Dick Cheney agrees with me.
The tragedy was where Obama fooled so many people back then as candidate, knowing well he had not the motivation to follow thru. Hillary should be sitting president, she should have won. She was the real thing if you're a liberal, progressive or independent. Obama turned out to be all smoke and mirrors.
Hell... even Joe Bidden would be light years better than Obama for the democrats.

Neat. Looks like none of them match up very well. It's a good thing I don't vote.
