Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) 79.75% match interesting. i hadn't considered voting for him. my other tops: Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) - 60.78% Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) - 59.80% California Representative Duncan Hunter (R) - 58.82%
Christopher Dodd, 92.5%; but I'm unsure about most of the issues. Couldn't help but notice, no affirmative action question. I guess because Congress, particularly a Democratic one, would never touch it; just let courts and states handle it. Anyone know Obama's stance?
I cry foul on this "calculator" -- would not trust or recommend to anyone until the full algorithm is disclosed. My "results" make no sense at all.
Just about everyone I know (on the left) is getting recommended to obscure people like Gravel. He was my #1. Thompson was in my #2, and I'm a "flaming lib pig" if ever there was one. In looking at Thompson's website, I don't agree with hardly any of his policies. It just seems like it's tweaked, that's all. I'd love to see the algorithm. My political beliefs line up with Kucinich almost 100% (according to his stated policies on his website), but my overlap with him was "11%." Not to be paranoid, but wouldn't it be cool to distribute a tweaked "candidate calculator" that confused the party you oppose? Maybe I'm crazy, and Thompson is a flaming libpig like me. I think he'd be surprised though. Also, maybe I can't use a mouse and I clicked the wrong answers in every case. That's very possible in my current state.
Pretty funny. I have Rudy Guliani at 73.68%. Fiscal conservative, social liberal (other than illegal immigration). Of course I would never vote Republican.
