Candidate Match Game (Did Every One See and/or Take This Test?)
USAToday (Title/Link Only) ^ | Recent | Multiple

Posted on 12/15/2011 9:56:17 AM PST by Why So Serious

Did you take or see this quiz? I did and my winners were Bachmann, Paul, and Santorum [in that order]. I would say that Newt was on my radar screen, as was Bachmann and Paul. Santorum never even entered my mind. I would have thought I preferred Paul over Bachmann [test says, NO!].

Every person on my desk took it and none of them came up with Romney

Bachmann does break that rule. I will also add that if Reagan was ever wrong about anything that statement was the one he was most wrong about.

Here in Illnois our Governor [before Rodster] was a Republican named George Ryan [ a piece of poo, I might add]. Even with the democratic slime out of Cook County we managed to have a Republican governor from 1977-2003. It was George Ryan [a Republican] that nobody was supposed to say was a piece of poo, because we don't say things like that about other Republicans that caused us to lose that seat.

I will say that unless you have something to say that will expose a candidate for some flaw in their personality that will affect their ability to do the job or represent the party well, then you should just stick to selling yourself. And the only time you should reference another Republican is if you are comparing your record to theirs'.

I see now.

I was looking in the usual places the posting software places links.

Those fields most folks fill out when posting threads.

Per the prompts.

You know.

Those places. ;-)

Mine was Perry, Santorum, and Bachman. I’m surprised at how many results came in for Gingrich and Paul on this site.

The test is not really BS. I think it takes your answers based on the severity of your answer and the more severe your answer the more severe the candidate that it assigns. I believe that in their hearts MOST voters feel very strongly about a couple of things that Ron Paul feels very strongly about and that scores him.

Most of us attempt to find the candidate who we agree with on the most issues. The more issues that you agree on the less severe the agreements will be. If you take your five most important issues and attempt to find the candidate who agrees the most with you on those five issues your candidate is generally going to be different that if you dilute your issues severity so as to include more issues. That is how I read it! Most of us believe less government. Reagan did, Paul does. If you believe less government somewhere in this test Paul is coming toward the top.

I got Paul at 89%...then Bachman and Perry tied at 43%.

Too bad Paul has a very bad foreign policy stance regarding Israel and terrorism.

This quiz would be MUCH better too if they threw a few more questions in there about that issue...and abortion/right to life...etc.

Indeed not!

For with stout heart, firm tread, and resolute mind, I WILL go to the polls next November and proudly "vote" AGAINST the stain.

'nuff said.

Gingrich, Perry, Santorum in a virtual tie - same number of issues agreed but to a varying degree. Bachmann slightly behind, followed by Huntsman and Paul. Romney and Obama sucking hind tit.
