Yikes Hillary was 4th! She supports the illegal war and she's 4th?

"Your political philosophy is Hard-Core Liberal." Yup, that about sums it up, so why is Hillary #4? Are they going by what she actually does or the crap she'll say to win an election?

No surprises there.

Nearest presidential candidates were:
Nader
Cobb
Edwards
Kerry

Nearest senatorial candidates were:
Jim Sykes (Green)
Tony Knowles (Dem)


** was at the bottom of the list with a 5%. I'm trying to figure out what on earth we agree on 5% of the time.

ed. OH -- I just noticed I could pick from all 100 senators and not just from my state. Guess I'll take the senatorial part again.

Wellstone, Dayton, Clinton, Boxer, Durbin
Allard from Colorado on the bottom -- I never heard of him.

31. Nader: 56% & 58%. Kerry: 75% & 42%.
The other candidates are as follows:
Cobb 43%
Edwards: 50%
Camejo: 43%
Badnarik: 38%
Cheney: 18%
Peroutka: 18%
Bu$h: 13%

There weren't very many questions in each category, and a single "wrong" answer could have a measurable effect on the final score. I took the test hastily (and somewhat absent-mindedly), and almost certainly marked at least one contrary to what I had intended. But it's really pointless taking this sort of test over. I'll STICK with Nader & Kerry. (At least it wasn't Cheney or Bush ---- or LIEBERMAN).

37. I think there's a glitch. I check strongly support more federal funding
Edited on Mon Dec-12-05 01:19 AM by Czolgosz
for heath coverage, but when I check click here for analysis and explanation, it says I strongly oppose such spending. Also, it says I strongly oppose spending resources to stop global warming, which is wring and I don't think that was even a question.

Oh, well . . .

Also, the graph indicates that populism is the opposite of libertarianism:



I'm not sure I agree with that suggestion.

39. NO surpises there
Edited on Mon Dec-12-05 01:47 AM by ProudDad
Except that NO-One comes close to me.

Barbara Boxer, Russ Feingold, Paul Wellstone (The Buddha give him peace).

Since it's not a weighted survey though, my unwavering opposition to the spread of corporate Capitalism wasn't represented by anybody...

Update:

In pres. candidates, Ralph Nader first (of course), Michael Peroutka and gwbush LAST!

40. Interesting... Hillary is my #1
Edited on Mon Dec-12-05 03:50 AM by last_texas_dem
(This was just including Senators.)

75%- Hillary Clinton
73%- John Corzine
70%- Dick Durbin

Feingold (woo hoo!) was my #4 at 68%.

2000 Presidential race is interesting:

73%- David McReynolds (Socialist candidate)
70%- Ralph Nader
48%- Bill Clinton (not sure why he was included since he wasn't a candidate; I scored 43% each with Bradley and Gore)

and 10% with Lamar Alexander and the Shrub... oh yeah!

42. Dodd/Akaka/Wellstone...how about the 3 least compatible matches?
The farthest match from me was Inhofe; tied for 2nd to last were Jim Bunning (thank god), Don Nickles (hell, I didn't even realize he was still in the Senate), Larry Craig, and Lindsey Graham. I was most compatible w/ Russ Feingold in the social issues portion; economics resulted in a tie between a number of Senators.

43. The site is a little behind the times
Try matching yourself up with the cabinet. It still lists Colin Powell, for example. Don Nickles retired last year and was replaced with Tom Coburn - who is probably worse than Nickles in many respects...

50. My "10 worst matches of the 100 Senate incumbents"
fascinating, they're all sterile-looking white guys. Reeps, of course.

My best matches, btw, were a tie between Richard Durbin and Barbara Mikulski, both at 55%.
