    Here's an interesting site. Answer 20 questions and it will show how you match with each presidential candidate including the independent parties (just use the drop bar on the results page to view the runner-ups).

    The Candidate Match-o-matic

    It's probably not completely scientific, but hey, its a cool waste of 2 minutes [​IMG]

    Anyway, I did get a kick out of it, when my Bush supporter friend matched with Gore [​IMG]

    I got Harry Browne (the Libertarian), but I only agreed with himon 30% of the issues. I guess there just isn't a candidate out there at all that really agrees with me.

    The scariest part is that Pat Buchannan, Al Gore and George W. Bush all had 25% agreement with me, and Ralph Nader was at 20%

    Very interesting ...

    Gore: 60%
    Nader: 60%
    Bush: 5%
    Browne: 20%
    Buchanan: 20%

    I ended up matching Gore because of weightings, I guess.

    I got Bush and Buchanan tied with only a 25% agreement on issues. I hate politicians. WEIRD!

    Pretty interesting, I thought I was more libertarian leaning then I ended up. In tribute to oilpere, I used to be libertarian-oriented republican (voted for the Bush in 88, might have voted for Paul the next election), then I opened my eyes to the real world.

    Gore 80
    Nader 80
    Browne 20
    Bush 10
    Buch 10

    Just what I expected--My views can't be boxed in by "Republican" or "Democrat," and basically, I'm not very agreeable.

    Pat Buchanon: 35%
    Bush: 35%
    Gore: 35%
    Harry Browne: 30%
    Raph Nadar: 25%

    Interesting.

    It is interesting how Bush&Gore agree on so many things. Their differences aren't too far off -- and mostly can be summarized by not whether an idea is good or bad, but whether the federal government should get involved.

    Bush: 85%
    Buchanan: 30% (I disagree, just out of principle.)
    Gore: 25%
    Nader: 10%
    Browne: 5%

    ------------------
    Stay Cool...

    Damn, you guys must have overloaded the server(or something) because I got to the last set of questions and clicked continue and got "Page not found". Then I went back and opened the link again..."Page not found"

    THANKS ALOT GUYS!!

    I took the test, and I am proud to report that I agree with Pat Buchanan on exactly 0% of the issues.

    By the way, RocketsPimp, I love your signature!

    Hey! Way to go Rocketman Tex! [​IMG] I think I unfortunately ended up with a 20% on Buchanan [​IMG]

    **hangs head in shame**

    I just realized that even though I posted the link, I didn't post my results. If I can remember correctly, they were:

    Gore 65%
    Bush 30%
    Browne 15%
    Buchanan 20%
    Nader 55%
