Find out who your candidate is...

A website, based on your inputs and weightings, claims to pick the candidate you should follow.

I have to admit I hadn't heard of the candidate it said I agree most with.

After I completed the questionnaire and hit "GO", I received a cannot find server message.

What a great experience for you! Hmm... it worked for me...

Well I just installed FF today, and I just had a 404 with a different link in a different thread, I'm wondering if that's got something to do with it.

off topic: I may loose power any minute, there's tornadoes in close proximity. : /

The only thing I apparently have in common with Republican candidates is that I am opposed to abortion.

Ok well it worked this time. Hmmm

I came up with two number ones, McCain and Obama. Apparently I agree with them both equally. Hey, maybe we should have two presidents in office at the same time? Hmmm.. have to think on that one.

BTW,

"To the right of each candidate is a list of the items which you and the candidate explicitly disagreed upon and a list of the items that you expressed support or approval of but for which the candidate's position is unknown/other."

What the... ?

In reality, however, I would vote for Paul. So, I'm not sure what that tells me about this exercise, but, it certainly seemed interesting.

Obama for me.

Paul
Kucinich
Obama
Richardson
Clinton
Edwards

Romney found himself at the very bottom. Right where he belongs.

Clever use of argument framing. Could be used as an intelligence litmus test. If you can't see the argument framing and take the test, you fail the intelligence test.

I noticed it before I even started answering the questions as I studied all the questions first, but I decided to take it anyway out of boredom. The presentation of that first one is a real doozy.

You really ought to study philosophy, Atom, you have a very good mind for it.

Well, I don't know, John, I think if I did I may end up with a similar irritation as you experienced in trying to get through Mine Hemp, or w/e the hell that Hitler book is called, lol. Honestly though, I don't believe that I possess the self discipline that I think would be required to advance in such a field.
