Tie: Hillary Clinton & John McCain 81% Now I'm totally confused as to who I'll finally vote for. How in the hell could you ever come up with that results...dude you must have some way contradicting political philosophies... |

Scores were 9 / 4 / 9 / 10
Accordingly, I'm a Democrat
Mitt Romney was third with 77%
My political views are simple - I'm a cynic. I still say the only person I would whole heartedly support for President is David Walker, the current Comptroller General of the United States.

Conservative/Progressive Score 9 - Moderate Progressive
Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist Score 5 - Economic Moderate
Libertarian/Authoritarian Score 2 - Libertarian
Pacifist/Militarist Score 2 - Pacifist
I am a Libertarian.
Most like me is a tie between Barack Obama and Joe Biden at 88%.
Considering I voted for Obama and considered myself Libertarian, I'd say this is pretty much right on for me.

I can see that...i don't trust a single politician either...they are all in it for the money... I still say the only person I would whole heartedly support for President is David Walker, the current Comptroller General of the United States. Who? Ahhh...an ACCOUNTANT! |

Actually, Edwards was third on mine. Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich were 1-2. (Yeah, I know, way to pick a winner.)

Mitt Romney would be considered a conservative over here, but probably a relatively moderate one. Had you gotten Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter, you'd have had to question your sanity.  |

In just about every I take this like, I get Duncan Hunter near the top. After the first couple times, then I had to go look up who he was  |

politicalquiz.net/Go to this site and find out where you stand on the right/left spectrum after answering 24 questions with Yes, No, or Maybe/Don't Care. It'll give you scores in 4 categories and then give you the option of which presidential candidate (before all the drop-outs) you most align with. My scores were: Conservative/Progressive Score 11 Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist Score 12 Libertarian/Authoritarian Score 5 Pacifist/Militarist Score 3 Most like (wait for it, mft...!): Dennis Kucinich! (90%) Well Mr. Lawless, consider yourself blessed to be in the political company of Hegemony! My scores: 11-Progressive 12-Socialist 2-Libertarian 0-Isolationist I am apparently a "Hardcore Democrat" and most like Kucinich and Gravel (90%) with Obama in third at 81%. Maybe that is why I always preferred the CPC to the GWF. |

I'm not sure I even know what a "Neo-Con" is, LOL.
I suspect it is a label that liberals made up to describe conservatives.
I don't know much about Tom Tancredo. Honestly I had hoped that Newt Gingrich would have run, as I perceive him to be the most solid voice for conservatism in the political arena today.

I actually narrated one of Newt Gingrich's books for work (Winning America, I think it was called?). I did find myself agreeing in principle with some of the things he said, although we all know rhetoric and reality are sometimes far removed from each other on both sides of the spectrum. And I'm in the political company of Hegemony, huh? As if my credibility wasn't already strained.  |

I agree completely -- Newt Gingrich, to me, is one of the best, most honest conservative voices out there. I think his name has been slung through the mud, mostly unfairly, and that may kill any real future aspirations -- but he'd have my vote without reservation. |

The one thing I can appreciate about Gingrich over some of the others is that after his time being part of a divisive era (let's face facts, although both sides were responsible for the rancor), he's learned how to think in ways that can get at least some people who aren't always on his side to come together on compromises. But I'd still vote Obama over Newt.  |

Honestly, I probably would!
Just because I seem to agree with a lot of his policies doesn't mean I think he'd be the best president. I think President Kucinich would potentially go down in history as worse than Bush. Maybe even Nixon. That's just not the kind of guy you want running the free world. But as a thorn in the side of big business in Congress, sure, I'm all for him!

12 - Ultra-Progressive
6 - Economic Moderate
4 - Libertarian-leaning
11 - Militarist
Traditional Democrat
Joe Biden - 81%
Chris Dodd - 75%
John McCain - 75%
Barack Obama - 69%
Although I should note that the "militarist" score really came from my belief as a neo-realist in that the United States should go into countries IF they have a national interest there, not that they should take action unilaterally as they please. (Damn, I sound just like that Richardson article I read only today, but I swear that's what I've always felt...)
