Title: Who do you side with?
Post by: GeorgeCook on October 06, 2012, 12:01:59 PM
This is a fun quiz that matches your answers to various political candidates positions on the issues. You can select the stock answer or add your own. The site is well done and it allows you to post your results to social media sites like Facebook.

I matched up with Gary Johnson (Libertarian) 94%, which wasn't a surprise to me. But what was intersting was the break down by party and by region of the country. I suggest all give it a try.

Romney- 92%


I was surprised to see that Der Leader, his esteemed high and mighty BHO and I agreed on a whopping 31% of items (he was 4th down the list), and surprisingly, those were all in the environmental category.

Go figger.   :-\

So how did your views compare to the rest of GA? My views mirrored 49% of FL.

93% Johnson, 67% Romney, 5% BHO

78% Libertarian Party,  70% Republican Party, 2% Democratic Party

47% Ohio voters, 45% American voters.


Not to surprised about the results....except that the percentage of Ohio voters and American voters was that high.

What did surprise me is that they knew I was from Ohio.  Either I have some other association with that site or they can locate you by your incoming IP address?

They know by your IP address, or more technically correct the IP address your provider chooses to broadcast to the world.

97% Gary Johnson.  IMO a vote for him is a vote for Obama.  Can't afford to split the vote and allow the assclown to be re-elected.

Well, I side with Gary Johnson (L) 89% of the time, no shock there. Apparently some guy I never heard of called Virgil Goode, 79% (I'm almost afraid to google him), and Mitt and BO were neck and neck at 74% and 75% respectively. A solid c for both, thats fair, but generous ;).  As for Florida, shockingly I agree with 64% of the population. Maybe there is hope for us here in the iguana lattitudes. I will note that I didn't mess the the intesenity scale on the questions, just went with yes or no.

45% to the rest of Georgia..... also surprising to an extent. Even though over the last few decades Georgia has flipped to a majority Conservative state, I guess Atlanta, Columbus, Savannah, and Macon are enough to keep the balance beam from tilting completely toward the rural areas.



*Went back into history and found the page with the breakdown:

Candidates you side with...
92%-  Mitt Romney, Republican
on social, economic, domestic policy, immigration, and environmental issues

84%- Virgil Goode, Constitution
on economic, social, domestic policy, science, and environmental issues

69%- Gary Johnson, Libertarian
on economic, foreign policy, domestic policy, and science issues

31%- Barack Obama, Democrat
on environmental issues

45%- Georgia Voters
on domestic policy, foreign policy, and environmental issues.

42%- American Voters
on domestic policy, foreign policy, and environmental issues.

Who you side with by party...
95%- Republican
57%- Libertarian
31%- Democrat
11%- Green

Interesting poll..
Romney 90%
Goode 69%
Alabama 45%
US 39%
Republican 94%

I suspect I scuttled my results somewhat by adding my own answers about every third question.. I'm a hard head like that, or so I'm told..

You sided with Romney 99%? You must be out of breath from changing your positions that often, hell, that's got to be a great workout, "just a step to the left, then a step to the right". ;D

I am surprised to see the agreement with the Democratic party and BHO is as high as it is by those who posted those numbers.

I would have thought the Democratic party and I had more in common than 2%, but not much more.

I guess 5% in common with BHO might, somehow, be acceptable.   We both breath, so we agree on that, although I don't support him doing so.

96% with Romney...

33% with my fellow Oregonians on foreign and domestic policiy-thats a VERY good thing! ;)

39% with American voters on foreign and domestic policy-blame it on my military service and letting politicians run wars.

Civilian control of the military should consist of sending a note to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs:
"Country X, Call me when your done".

97% for Attila the Hun.

3% Mittens.

I'm voting for Mittens.  He's as close as I'm gonna get to what I want this time around.  At least we'll get rid of Odamna (I hope and pray).
