Your Presidential Canidate test

[GrantDawg]

This little test helps you pick which canidate is closer to your political views. Check it out at http://www.presidentmatch.com. It was pretty interesting. My results were:

1 Bush				Score: 100%
			Party Republican Has Held Elected Office Yes Served in the Military Yes Compare with other candidates
2 Edwards				Score: 89%
			Party Democrat Has Held Elected Office Yes Served in the Military No Compare with other candidates
3 Kucinich				Score: 80%
			Party Democrat Has Held Elected Office Yes Served in the Military No Compare with other candidates
4 Sharpton				Score: 78%
			Party Democrat Has Held Elected Office No Served in the Military No Compare with other candidates
5 Kerry				Score: 77%
			Party Democrat Has Held Elected Office Yes Served in the Military Yes Compare with other candidates
6 Dean				Score: 71%
			Party Democrat Has Held Elected Office Yes Served in the Military No Compare with other candidates

Weird that Sharpton was so high, and I can't believe Bush was 100%.

[Chubby]

Bush didn't serve in the milatary. He was paid by the military, big difference.

Why did my test come back with Carrot Top at the #1 guy?

Whoever is highest is 100%, then the other candidates have percentages based off of that. Basically it's scored on a curve.

So those currently in the NG or Army reserve aren't "serving?"

No, I'm saying he did absolutely nothing related to the military. his name was in the books, he got paid, he never went cause of Pops.

[wig]

1 Carrot Top Score: 100%

2 Fritz Score: 100%

3 NoMyths Score: -84%

[clintl]

Kucinich 100%
Kerry 94%
Sharpton 93%
Dean 87%
Edwards 82%
Bush 8%

They got Bush right for me. I would really be unhappy with Kucinich or Sharpton as the Democratic nominee, however.

Get your facts straight. He flew a f-102 in the Texas Guard and did so for two years. He also served 36 days active duty time at the end of his term to get out 8 months early to go to Harvard Business.

And your basis for this is what? His service record?

I really don't get this whole attack on his millitary service. I mean we know he didn't go to Vietnam, but he did serve in the guard. Is Michael Moore's credibility really worth defending? I can see no reason that this is even an issue. If he had actually done anything wrong there would be a paper trail 30 years old. A while back I said I considered Howard Dean a candidate of demagoguery, now I am starting to see why so many rank and file democrats initially supported him.

[Masked]

Kerry 100%
Kucinich 95%
Sharpton 95%
Dean 94%
Edwards 89%
Bush 17%

[Wolfpack]

Bush 100%
Edwards 49%
Kerry 46%
Dean 42%
Sharpton 30%
Kucinich 19%

I think I entered exactly the opposite answers Chubby did.

Can you post a roadmap for this reply?

[Chubby]

You know, Bush supporters are so testy it's almost like you feel like you HAVE to legitimize his presidency... I mean, it's not like the only reason he won was cause his brother cooked the ballots in Florida... oh wait...

I'm not a Bush supporter, but it should be pointed out that several major news organizations pooled their resources and did yet another recount, and they came up with a Bush victory as well.



Chubby, in general, you've been a world-class dick lately. Thought you should know.

It's just so easy to get Bush supporters going. "WHAT???? He did this this this and this!!!!!" "WHAT??? We don't cave to big buisness. Oh here's another tax break or contract to our buddies." For all the stupid crap they put everyone through trying to fulfill a vendeta against Clinton, Repubs get everything they have comin to them.

And it's much better news people do recounts now than an actual one that would have mattered no?

I didn't cheat, so how could I be mad about it? especially when I advocate that it be available for all to do, but sure if you think so.

I guess when you have views that aren't defined by politicians running for office, you can't expect any meaningful result.

I got 100% Sharpton. Yeah.

[Chubby]

It's all good, besides, he'll be a 1 term Prez just like his dad.

Go to war. check and check
Suck up to big business. check and check
Have no clue domestically. check and check
Get his rear handed to him in bid for reelection. check and ...

I expect you to call his campaign office in the morning and ask to help out

[Ben E Lou]

Thanks

So, should I take this to mean that you are trying to be a world-class dick?

[Mustang]

Kerry - 100%
Bush - 96%

Glad my choice is so clear cut...

[Chubby]

Actually I'm not but if you want to define being a world class dick as defending ones self when they are called a cheat yet didn't do anything wrong.

and/or

slamming bush, up to and including making random shit up to piss off Republicans.

then I guess by that definition I am since I have been nice and discussed things in a professional manner as long as others act the same. And if making random shit up to piss off the other party classifies me as a world-class dick then I guess every registered voter of either major party could be defined as one along with Fox News and every other news outlet which has an obvious bias towards one party or the other.

Your wife* said I scored a perfect 100% with her last night, so I'll just go with that.

*Insert most appropriate term for max effectiveness on the zing here: wife, sister, daughter, dog

[Coffee Warlord]

Even with the stuff I am dead set against and Bush supports, he still came out 100% on me.

Still the lesser of 2 evils, which is what every government election boils down to.

Yup. Same here. I'm really hoping that Dubya will have Georgia in the bag. That way I won't have to hold my nose and vote for him.

You're kidding, right?

While you're at it, don't forget to ban/close basically every other thread on here for trolling since "technically" it isn't Front Office Football discussion . Especially that new thread killer thread that was started up then closed.

You want pick a fight with me, that's fine. Remember who started this, you. You want to have a pissing match fine, I'm surprised to see that you want to do in it public but hey w/e.

You disagree with my political or religious views, fine. You want to take shots at me, fine (I am a world-class dick according to you afterall). You want to ban me, fine. I can't stop you. I'll tell you the same thing I told VPI, don't take shots and not expect me to fire back. You have a problem with me, I'm not hard to get a hold of but evidentally you want to do it in public and/or try to make an example of me.

Go ahead, name where I've been a dickhead. I was going to let it slide but forget it. Post links to threads, you made it public not me. I'm a dick becuase I defended my actions? I'm a dick for thinking Bush is a putz? I'm a dick for basically saying 1 thing to get a rile out of people yet we have news channels (of both sides) pulling shiznit (don't want a swearing warning now do i) out of their behind on a daily basis.

edited for sucking at spelling

[Easy Mac]

I concur with Chubbs, or else you'll have to ban Bubba Wheels for all fo his posts... I'd say those are meant to rile up those who lean to the left and some weren't even in "political threads."

[Chubby]

Sheesh, wig will be next for making up his poll results. Like I said, if there's an issue feel free to PM me like anyone should.

BACK TO THE TOPIC

As a Dem noone really stands out to me, I haven't taken a side for which candidate I support and I really only support Kerry because it looks like he has the best chance to beat Bush. My views do fall in line with Kerry so I have no issue voting for him.

This is one of those polls where it probably also says 5% margin of error

And I probably shouldn't bring this up GrantDawg, but I seem to remember this being brought up at least 2 other times on the board already. One was in one of the Democrat threads and another was in a thread that was cut short and pointed to it (unless I'm hallucinating which is possible).

SI

Huh. I am surprised by that result a bit. I am guessing that I was too middle of the road in some of my responses. I guess it is also possible that I am just all over the place politically. I also wonder if this site isn't slanted somewhat. I mean one of the questions lumped economy and the environment together. I don't think it is really reasonable to combine them.

Ditto. Singling Chubby's remark out for a troll warning seems odd, especially considering that nearly every political thread around these parts has at least one similar inflammatory post.

And I'd assume Chubby didn't write them all.

Here I am making the point that Chubby is full of it. Well at very least doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I really don't get this whole attack on his millitary service. I mean we know he didn't go to Vietnam, but he did serve in the guard.
More of the same, really. Chubby has stooped to making things up, so I am just pointing that out.

Is Michael Moore's credibility really worth defending? I can see no reason that this is even an issue. If he had actually done anything wrong there would be a paper trail 30 years old.
This issue was came up because Michael Moore called the president a deserter, and Wesley Clark caught flack for not distancing himself from Moore and his unfounded comments.


A while back I said I considered Howard Dean a candidate of demagoguery, now I am starting to see why so many rank and file democrats initially supported him.
Here I am saying that Dean was a candidate of demagoguery, and that most of my fellow democrats found that appealing because they would rather give credence to unfounded claims than seriously consider the issues at hand.

I am also certain I didn't type "Chubby is full of it" enough times during this post.

[Chubby]

To be quite honest, I don't pay a ton of attention to all the hoopla going on right now. I find I get burned out by the time the general campaigning begins. As long as there isn't some oddball reason to hate the Dem candidate I trust the party to get the best guy in the general election (well except for '88...) I just figured that if Repubs can take baseless shots at Dems then we can do the same and I heard something about it on the radio today hence it was the 1st thing to come to mind.

[Buccaneer]

Hmmm, I tried to answer libertarian as best as I could but ended up keeping most answers to no opinion. The few that I did have an opinion on gave me this results:

Bush 100% (hmmm)
Kerry 40%
Edwards 38%
Dean 25%
Sharpton 19%
Kunicich 11%

Since a Democrat will not win Colorado, I'll be gladly voting for the Libertarian candidate, whoever the hell it is.

I think one conclusion from this is that the opposite of Libertarian is Socialism and reading the questions and looking at the multiple choices, I see a lot of socialistic-centric solutions which I assume heavily favors any one of the Democratic candidates and thus, the final score.

[Celeval]

Kerry 100%
Bush 45%
