Candidate Match Game – answer issue-oriented questions and see which candidate most closely reflects your views. Our results were (1) Rick Perry (2) Ron Paul (3) Newt. Your mileage may will vary. Barack Obama finished last. Didn’t agree on one single issue. Shocking. Oh, here’s another one.

This thread has been dead for a month. Why are we suddenly getting posts again?
The 2 libtards above should explain that.
Gee, guess who came up first place for me. ;>)
Following Obama were Romney and Newt. (They were a VERY distant 2nd and 3rd.)
Lowest for me was, of course, Santorum.
Nothing to see here folks, just another troll..Move along after thumbing down. thank you.
The Troll Patrol
USA: Obama #1, everyone else = fail
ABC: Obama #1, everyone else = fail
If I had to vote for a Republican, I'd vote Ron Paul.... but I won't be doing that.
Bachman, 1
Perry and Santorum tied @ 2
looks like Santorum is closest candidate to me,
Charleston, South Carolina (CNN) - Rick Perry is telling supporters that he will drop his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday, two sources familiar with the plans told CNN.
Perry dropping out could help Gingrich. Maybe Santorum, though it looks like he's fading there. If Romney gets basically one on one with either Gingrich or Santorum, I think Mitt's in trouble.
The Iowa Caucus was certified today. Santorum won by 34 votes. What a bad break for Rick that Romney has been portrayed as the winner for half a month.
I hear Ricky is endorsing Newt.
Looks that way

yep.
From his mouth to God's ear!
Perry dropped out. I know rose is thrilled about that. ;) Suits me just fine, too.

You have no idea! Unfortunately, that means he will come home to Texas and start screwing with us again.
sometimes you gotta take one for the team...:)
Rose, I'm not being snooty just curious, you're there, who would have been better? Was it Kay Bailey? Seriously, I respect your opinion and I don't live there(I'm in Ohio for cryin out loud), who did you want? And again, that's not snark, I'm honestly asking.
I voted for Kay Bailey in the Primaries. There were a couple of options, so the vote was split and he got a plurality. In the election, I voted for a democrat. That's how desperate I was to get him out of office.

Recently an undercover Dem was sighted near San Antonio.
Dressed as a Zebra, the Democrat was captured on tape in yet another brazen attempt to redistribute the wealth. The unfortunate victim in the attack had utilized her wealth to invest in chips.
The driver was heard to say, why don't this neighborhood have no GPS warnin'?
About the only thing US politicians are good at (besides graft) is selling out.
Here’s the problem with these kinds of match games – the candidates say one thing when running, and do something quite different when governing.
Back in 2000, I had a 94% match with Harry Browne (libertarian), and about 86 or 88% match with George W. I would challenge anyone to tell me how W. gave us 91.5% (86/94) of what a Libertarian would have given us.
For the record, I agreed on 0 with the O, 2 with Bachmann and Romney, and 1 with everyone else, except for the 7 with Ron Paul.
Too bad Paul is a nut.
My matches were based on agreeing with only 4 questions out of 11, so clearly they aren't THAT accurate! And has been mentioned, if you don't like any of the provided choices, there is no option for none of the above.
"...Paul is a nut"
About the only consolation there is that if he did get the nomination, he'd be running against ol' Nutless.
Oh, absolutely! I didn't mean to imply that being a nut is necessarily a bad thing. If Ron Paul really got his agenda into all levels of the federal gov't, we could fill it with macaques and the country would be fine. Because the feds shouldn't be doing 95% (at least) of what they're doing.
USA Today: 1. Gringrich 2. Perry 3. Bachmann
ABC: 1. Gingrich 2. Bachmann 3. Perry
I'm begining to think I would like to see a Gingrich/Bachmann ticket on the ballot in November.
I am afraid that would turn into a McCain/Palin rerun. And we know how that one ended, he's in Hawaii now shutting down highways......
USA Today: 1) Bachmann 2) Gingrich 3) Perry
ABC: 1) Bachmann 2) Santorum 3) Perry
Who would've guessed? I am supposed to be a Bachmann supporter, LOL!
I think the questions are loaded to skew results. There were a lot of em that I would have answered differently in both polls, but had to choose the option that was mostly in line with my views. It gave me the Paul, Perry, Bachmann trifecta.
Certainly you are "forced" to choose an option that may not describe your feelings at all. That is the problem wiht tools such as this, and why one or two should never be assumed to be the gospel truth!
The problem with these polls is the same as with the election itself. None of the answers in the polls represent what we want. None of the above comes into play quite often. So I have an idea. Yeah, another one that will never happen, but we can dream.
On election ballets, there should be an option to vote for None of the Above. In None of the Above wins an election, they have to throw out all the candidates, (including the incumbent), and have another election.
