I had no idea who Jill Stein or Stewart Alexander were until this thread... lol, my sad apathy at this election.

Side mostly with Paul, but more Obama than Johnson. I'd love to see what answers trigger that.

I honestly am surprised. I think my positions are a bit hard to categorize though so maybe this isn't an accurate tool so much.

Here's the analysis:

Who you side with by issue...

More important to me
Healthcare
I side the most with Gary Johnson on 86% of healthcare issues.

More important to me
The Environment
I side the most with Gary Johnson and Ron Paul on 100% of environmental issues.

More important to me
Foreign Policy
I side the most with Ron Paul on 88% of foreign policy issues.

More important to me
Science
I side the most with Barack Obama and Jill Stein on 83% of science issues.

Somewhat important to me
Social
I side the most with Ron Paul on 65% of social issues.

Somewhat important to me
Domestic Policy
I side the most with Mitt Romney on 90% of domestic policy issues.

Somewhat important to me
The Economy
I side the most with Barack Obama on 82% of economic issues.

Less important to me
Immigration
I side the most with Jill Stein on 75% of immigration issues.

Not to say that there aren't religious people in the left as well... but its more likely that those people would remain independents or members of a different party as the party line for the left is heavily slanted towards secularism while the right is heavily slanted towards uniting a "Christian Nation".

I don't have time to debate this (I have a hilarious play opening tonight and have running around to be ready)...

But I take issue with every single one of those positions being a more religious one, one more in line with what we know of God's beliefs or wishes for us (whether there is a God or not), or one more in line with true Christian values.

- Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. And Jesus would not have locked up women or doctors for having abortions. The right is on the wrong side of Jesus here. And one can be anti-abortion AND pro-choice. I am an example of such a person. I feel confident Jesus would have been too.
- Being anti-gay is hate, not love. And gay sex is no more a Christian sin than masturbation, hetero blowjobs, or using rubbers with your wife. Jesus never said a word about homosexuality, but he did talk a heck of a lot about love.
- Evolution does not preclude Creation. The position of the right is to erase scientific findings (findings you'd have to expect God put there for us to find if you believe in God) from textbooks or to present them as equal to Creation, also a theory, and one that many theologians, including Christian ones, regard to be metaphorical and not literal, and one that many theologians believe to be consistent with what is lately called intelligent design. Those that are pro-evolution (which is only relevant in school textbooks, in what we teach children) are pro-science, not anti-God.

Jesus was what we would today call a liberal Democrat. He would be appalled by the religious right. They are not just not with Him; they are against Him.

Holy smokes Batman!

I actually agree with about 75% of a Batman Jones post.

[Refman]

I agree 84% with Ron Paul.

Out of the two candidates, I agree with Romney 76% versus 66% with Obama.

I know this is the case, but than just ask about abortus, and gay marriage.
What does believing in evolution have to do with any laws or how a candidate be president. the only thing i can think of is if they want schools to teach intelligent design. But I think that is more on the state level.

I just think it is a irrelevant question for us to determine which candidate would best represent our interest.

Right? I mean they don't mean "RINO's" like Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Bob Dole, Dick Lugar, Dwight Eisenhower, George Bush 1 or even 2, right? And they don't mean liberal Democrats like Abe Lincoln, right? They just mean lean dumb and crazy. Right?

[nba-fan]

Mine said 84% Romney-what the ....? 81% Ron Paul 81% Gary Johnson. But since neither Herman Cain nor Ron Paul will be on the ballot in November, I'm boycotting the 2012 election. I'll fly the Confederate flag on election day to protest.
