I answered like I normally would. Came up with Thompson then McCain.

Answered as if I were a liberal female. What’s a Gravel?
Interesting, there was no rating for Thompson, he was below the scope, as it were.

Thompson - 57 (disagree on Iraq and Energy)
Duncan - 57 (disagree on Iraq and Energy)
Giuliani - 28 (Yikes! Much worse than I thought)
Obama - 7 (Should be ZERO)
Clinton - 7
Edwards - 7

OMG, how’d O, C & E get any points at all? I’m ashamed of myself

It works....I am a Fred supporter, but what shocked me was that Fred and Duncan Hunter got 59 points in a tie. So I guess Fred & Hunter in 08....

Because, like all liberal Democrats, they lie about supporting the death penalty.

I was shocked that they got 7 points from me, too. I would cut my throat over a bucket before I'd vote for any of those toads.

Thompson and Duncan tied at 57 for me too.

Tancredo
Huckabee
Brownback
Gilmore
Romney
Giuliani
Paul
...
and a distant Biden
...
then Richardson, off in the distance
...
then a tie for the complete losers,
Obama
Clinton
Edwards

I got a 48 on both Hunter and Thompson, and I’m for Thompson so that works.

Got a 3 for Hillary. How the heck did I happen to get a 3 instead of a zero?

A quick flaw I just noticed. If you click on a question there is no was to then skip that question. While you can change your answer, no matter what that question will have an answer once you click on it.

Well, those three all got five’s with me, because apparently they all have said they support the death penalty in certain circumstances. So their scores result either becasue they’re lying about it, or the “certain circumstances” is gun ownership or opposition to globalization or universal “health care” (so they really don’t agree with me at all, even on that issue).

I need to wash my keyboard: Her Thighness scored six points. Gravel and Kucinich each got one.

She apparently scored by virtue of Capital Punishment, which is what we’ll certainly get if that hyena somehow fools enough folks.

I left out a couple of questions that I don’t feel strongly on, or am undecided. I guess that’s why I only got a 48 on Fred.

Fred Thompson at the top...but I don’t get why I have Immigration in the “disagree” column for Fred, McCain, AND Hunter...but in the “agree” column for Tancredo.

Odd test.

What is interesting to note are the candidate photos. A rule in people photos is shooting down on a subject implies a submissive subject. Shooting upward implies a powerful subject. Shooting straight on is neutral in power. Not one photo of a republican is in the power position. Hillary and Edwards are give the most powerful angle. This tells you something about the author of the test which I believe to be a poll.

Call me a cynic if you want, I'll agree.

My bet is that they are keeping their options open for the “certain circumstances”. You know - for the common good and all.

There were actually two anti-illegal choices, the first and the third. The first says build a fence and deport all the illegals (evidently Thompson and Hunter’s position) while choice three says to fine the employers as well (evidently Tancredo’s position).

Same here. I have Hunter highest, but I’m going with Fred based on who I think has the best chance to win.

Of course, by the choice of questions the test is biased. I’d like to see the candidates take a stance on blasting Islam off the earth if there is another 9/11....

I think some of the questions were flawed. For example, I'd like to see vouchers (as a distant second to the separation of school and state) but the Feds have NO business passing crap like NCLB.
