Mitt Romney-- 7 of 10. That's who I'm voting for anyways, so it works out.

Differences:
Tax cuts, immigrants, and environment.

Wound up with Mitt Romney which I wasn't surprised by. Wouldn't vote for him though if I had a gun put to my head. I gotta cast the vote (should I not vote independent this time around) for a respectable guy like McCain if he gets the nomination.

No matter how this ended up, I just dont trust Romney. McCain will probably be my vote. My favorite is Huckabee, but I think he will be gone all too soon, and it becomes two man race between McCain and Romney.

I just for the life of me can't figure out why so many people in the republican party like mccain. He's a liberal in republican clothing. If he gets the nod for the republicans I'm voting independent this year.

Oh and my top was Romney...although I'm not overly impressed with him either.:(

He's a very moderate conservative. I wouldn't call him a liberal. He has some liberal beliefs and is good buddies with the Kennedys, but overall I'd consider him more of a right-leaning centrist than anything. And he's definitely a Republican. He's all for small government.

Now he's liberal compared to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity (and if you listen to either of those shows, you hear them bring it up from time to time), that's for sure, and I can't see him appealing to hard conservatives, but he leans more to the conservative side than liberal. Very conservative economically (wants to strengthen foreign trade, has said he's in favor of a flat tax, and encourages business), sides with the Iraq war, and supports all the current efforts to stabilize the border, but is more concerned about the environment than most Republicans (he's opposed to drilling in ANWAR).

He's painted as a liberal in some minds because of a rant against specific religious leaders, his friendship with several hard-leaning leftist Democrats, and his ability to compromise with those left-leaning Congressmen in a highly-partisan era, but that doesn't make him liberal any more than me.

heck, I am a conservative and even I am liberal compared to Hannity and Limbaugh...

I honestly would vote Democrat if their nominee was Edwards... but it will not be... Edwards is probably the best candidate out there... Hillary, Obama and McCain will polarize this nation even more... and none of them are worth their salt imo...
I am not even sure if I like Romney... but it will come down to McCain v. one of the other two so McCain will probably win out

9-1 Mitt Romney
8-2 Mike Huckabee
7-3 John McCain
6-4 Ron Paul
6-4 Rudy Giuliani
4-6 Hilary Clinton
3-7 Barack Obama
2-8 John Edwards

like stangRed, my favorite is huckabee, so my best hope now is that he and mccain join on the ticket (romney would never pick huckabee, and he isn't really as conservative as people are hoping him to be, as the alternative to mccain

long live the fair tax!

my best was 6 out of 10 with obama...


i have never considered myself a democrat or a republican or whatever - but after one of those comparisons i was most like all republican candidates, and now i get compared to obama, who is a democrat....

that being said...

do you guys think doing these candidate compatibility tests are a good way to pick who you vote for?

hopefully no one uses these to pick a candidate

it's just interesting to see how i rate against the candidates, especially the ones i already like

nobody agrees with their candidate 100%

it's about the best candidate, not the perfect one

what if you are totally uninformed about any of them (like i am) - and you take a few of these and one person seems to stand out and think the same way you do about a number of issues...isn't knowing that you have one person you agree with better than just flipping a coin when you're in the booth?

Like I said, I didn't necessarily agree with answers I had to choose from on some questions, so it was just choosing the one that may have been closest to what I agreed on.

I guess it all comes from perspective of where YOU sit. Just because McCain has views more liberal or less conservative than you does not make him a liberal. You gota see the diference between a Texas republican ( Extreem Conservative) and a California republican (Moderate). Like a California Democrat ( extreeme liberal) and a Texas Democrat ( Moderate).

Every time I've taken one of these, Huckabee has been at the top of my list, and I've read up on him and like him a lot...it doesn't look good for him though, so a VP nod is something I could definitely hope for.

The two to choose in November will be McCain with either Huckaby or Guliani as Vice and Clinton with Edwards or maybe Obama as vice. If you really think it will be a republican this time around I think your engaged in big time wishfull thinking. The Current administration (28%) aproval raiting has taken care of that unfrotuantly for McCain .

that means nothing... Bush was at an all time low when he won re election... The problem is that the Dems do not give a good alternative ( gore and kerry) which would have been like the Republicans running Quayle...

McCain is a better choice than the other two, imo, Edwards was the best candidate and he is dropping out...

Not to get too political but here's McCains record:

1. Voted against the Bush tax cuts.
2. Supported an amnesty bill for illegal immigrants.
3. Helped form a council with the democrats opposing Bush's Supreme Court nominees.
4. He paired with Joe Lieberman to try to force Bush to reduce greenhouse gases in compliance with the Kyoto accord. (and we know how well the countries that signed it are doing)
5. He's in favor of stem cell research.
6. He sided with democrats in McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform. (McCain-Feingold took away the rights of ordinary citizens to state the positions of politicians in ads 30 days before a primary and 60 days before an election by disallowing the politicians’ names to be mentioned.) (Funny how he doesn't want outside groups have any last minute information out there, yet he released an outright lie about Romney two days before the Florida primary.)
7. He collaborated with liberal Democrats John Edwards and Ted Kennedy on a patients’ bill of rights.
8. John Kerry considered him as a running mate in 2004.
9. McCain voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment.
10. In 2000 he called religious leaders Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell "agents of intolerance". (whether you agree with Robertson or Falwell or not, this is certainly not a conservative position)

That doesn't look very conservative or even very moderate to me.

why? that is relatively easy... the democratic congress' approval rating is an even lower %18... they have done nothing to fix the problems either...
honestly, I do not think that most of America wants us out of Iraq...
recession started as a result of Clinton ( Real Estate), problem was that Bush did not try to solve the problem and then oil got out of control... last two are to blame here... bottom line though... next President will get hit even harder... kind of like Hoover and Van Buren, nothing they can do

Now looking at an economic downturn. BTW its laughable to try to blame that on a president who has been out of office 8 years:rolleyes: . Hang back and watch. Its going to happen and I predicted it 6 years ago. all you needed to do is give it time.Some of Bush tax cuts were good. The ones for lower and middle class americans.

I know, it is getting close but Magic... what is happening in real estate right now? foreclosures... why? when Clinton was in office gaining real estate to build houses was easy... houses when up and mortgage companies skyrocketed ( Clinton is in real estate) now the market has crashed, Bush allowed this to continue... now the oil is out of control... these two add to recession ( basic Economics)... both are to blame...
the next President will only serve one term, recession will get worse, and they will have nothing to do with it... reason #1 why Edwards should get it since he has the only chance to really fix it... Clinton and McCain will probably make it worse, not sure about Obama...
this has nothing to do with politics, it is how it is... no party or bashing here...

BTW - Saying that you're content to be right months from now comes across as arrogant and condescending. I am not worried about how you take it but all Im saying is that 6 years ago I predicted all this. War would be going bad, economy would take a down turn, Senate and House would change hands, and Democrat would follow Bush because of it all. It has all happend that could happen except the democrat winning in 08. That is the only thing that has not happened. You feel free to blame what ever on who ever you like. Im just predicting what will happen and giving my reason. I will also predict once it happens the economy will turn around. May have a return to the mid 90s economy maybe not that good. I predict in 8 years very few people in this country will have no health insurance. Snyder will have won a state championship

Biden was my original favorite on the democrat side (i liked edwards in 2004)

however, the democrats didn't and haven't shown me enough to go against a mccain/huckabee duo

i ended up voting for bush anyway, and given the socialist views of the two democratic frontrunners i won't be changing any time soon

i consider myself a libertarian in most respects, but huckabee had some great ideas (lord please let the fair tax happen someday)


Obama or Hillary will lose by ten percent in a national election to john mccain. McCain isn't the best candidate, but once the republican machine gets behind him, there is no way a far left (and yes, i do mean 'socialism') candidate is going to win with republican support and older independents

no matter who likes it or not, that will very likely be the result this fall

I am a conservative and the Republicans win for one simple fact, the Democrats cannot give a better solution....
Edwards is their best candidate bar none, he could win the election easily... Clinton's and Obama will go back and forth and split the party...

on the flip side... I believe their will be a good chance that historians will compare Bush to Teddy...

Im sure the millionares think its "Fair":rolleyes:

Wondering where you get that Obama or Clinton would lose by 10% or at all in a national election to McCain??? Everything I have seen ( every Poll) shows Him losing by 12%-15% to either of them.:thinking:

1) I would not brag on being conservative . It is as bad as braging about being a liberal in my eyes. And as Far as Democrats not giving a better solution... I think I heard that argument was given 2 years ago before the Republicans lost both House and Senate.:rolleyes: You dont remember that talk two years ago??? But I like that you are so confident. it is one of the reasons the house and senate changed hands 2 years ago.

i am in the military, so i do not fall under the 'wealthy' category, but i am also a big believer in the free market

the fair tax is exponentially better than the tax system we have now, for all americans. unless we move to communism, there is always going to be a disparity between the rich and the poor. The Fair Tax doesn't mean the average american will have to work harder to become wealthy; in fact, it makes it easier


from realclearpolitics.com:

McCain/Obama
Rasmussen 01/25 - 01/27 1200 LV 47 41 12 McCain (R) +6.0

McCain/Clinton
Rasmussen 01/25 - 01/27 1200 LV 48 40 12 McCain (R) +8.0


those are the most recent polls available

This has gone on long enough. The bottom line is this:

4). No political/religious topics.
Political topics involving American political parties and their current candidates for office (or those already elected and/or currently serving) and religious topics are forbidden. Both of these generally invoke problems and sometimes cause hard feelings.

I know you guys want to talk about the race and the candidates, but you can't do it on this forum. Take it up in PMs since it appears it's only a few of you. You can send the same PM to multiple people at the same time! :)

:wave:
