What Candidate Matches Best to Your Beliefs

Teddy Roosevelt

 

1. Obama 4/11, 56.9 percent
2. Paul 4/11, 52.4 percent
3. Huntsman 3/11, 50.1 percent

I'm going to shoot myself now.

 

I got Obama the first time I took it, before I messed with the sliding scale on the left.

 

Oh, that was after I messed with the sliding scale.

 

Obviously, it's less than scientific. If you're a socially liberal republican, it throws it off considerably.

 

I got Obama overwhelmingly, but he'd lose a lot of support if they included a question like:

QUESTION: What is your preferred method of negotiation?

A. Stand your ground on a principle that never existed in America in the first place until the last three years, and don't let anything happen ever.
B. Identify the most important priorities and allow some give and take on the fringes.
C. Say you're the big strong man and the adult in the room, and then fold whenever trouble presents itself.
D. Give in, give in, give in, and then to get the deal done give in some more, and sign a deal that puts the country in worse shape than if you had just done nothing.
E. None of the above.

 

All of the answers are loaded to the right. What a crock of shit.

 

That's because all of the candidates except for one are Republicans. So most of the answers have to be right-leaning. And our president is a moderate.

 

Obama 9 out of 11
Paul 2/11 (Defense spending, gay marriage)

 

Obama 6/11
Huntsman 3/11
Perry 2/11

Perry?!?!??? MF'ing Perry??!

 

Huntsman 51.2%, 5 of 11
Obama 49%, 3 of 11
Bachmann 36.3%, 2 of 11

There were a couple questions where my preferred course of action weren't options, though.

 

1-Obama 7/11 (68.8 percent)
2-Huntsman 3/11 (45.9)
3-Mittens 2/11 (41.8)

No surpise. At all. (Other than Mitt showed up in my top three.)
