Vote based on the issues important to YOU. Romney Vs. Obama : TAKE THE TEST!! | |
| Artlicious (OP) User ID: 16923663 10/11/2012 05:05 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I had an idea for a site. Quoting: Artlicious In my ideal site visitors would be given a series of questions based on laws/bills that were voted for or against by politicians. The site would then tell you whos voting record matches your ideas most closely. Well I found out there already is a site like that! It's pretty cool, check it out. [link to www.selectsmart.com] ________________________________________________ Answer the questions and find out which candidate most accurtaly reflects your opinions or stance on hot topics. If the response is not who you are actually going to vote for, you might want to ask yourself why I am really voting for this person??? It's a push poll for Obama, and if you don't realize it, you're about as dumb as they come. Whats a push poll for obama? You think this is rigged for obama to come out ahead when a majority of the people that posted results have Obama lower on the list? Ditto! I admit it needs to be tweeked a bit and expanded upon, including as much voting record history as possible, but it is a start and I don't think it is biased for one candiadate or the other. And if you think it is, then help me find one that is not??? please! Check out my artwork! www.Artlicious.com |

Which statement regarding GOVERNMENT JOBS--which are taxpayer supported--would your ideal candidate say? Quoting: CygnusXI "Congress should pass a bill to help states put thousands of teachers, firefighters and police officers back on the job." America needs fewer fire fighters, fewer police officers, fewer teachers. "It’s time for us to cut back on government and help the American people." Neither Thats the 3rd question. I know Im nitpicking but the choices are limited and not worded well, as in many polls/questionaires. How about a 3rd option..? --- Teachers, firefighters, police and other essential services should be de-(government)unionized due to a conflict of interests and the ability to put citizens at risk when they strike. ...or some such. ^ I agree. Terrible question. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24708460 10/11/2012 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nah. Im educated enough to see its rigged from the get-go. Id rather see the bullshit on the ground and avoid. Instead of ignoring the crap and picking out the good pieces (as you suggest). No, its not just "different." Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24708460 The explanations are worded with emotionally charge and slanted in favor of what answer they want you to pick. There are no questions about reform or modification, which is a viable option for a number of issues This is not an objective test. The wording of the questions is emotionally charged and heavily slanted. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24708460 Dont trust it ... They could be worded differently but no matter how you word the questions, people will have a problem with it. Which is why I will be finding as many of these sites as possible and comparing the results. Well if that's the way you see it then hopefully you are educated enough to look past the wording and choose the answer that best describes your stance on the issue. And if you still think it's misworded, then exclude that question from the results. Also, I'm still looking at it, but I think you can choose different questions/issues and copare those as well. And finally, if this site is worded in a way to favor one candidate, which I think is not the case, but if you feel so, then hopefully we can find one worded the opposite way to favor the other candidate, then we can all see the results of that test as well and compare them. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24420062 10/11/2012 07:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It listed my ideal candidate,and its someone I wouldn't even consider voting for. Ron Paul. The trouble with this test is the format encourages you to give "idealist" answers.....even if you think idealists are fundamentally unfit to hold the office of President. I want someone can represent my views and the views of those I disagree with. My problem with Obama isn't that I disagree with his view of the world, its his inability to respect , or even listen to, the opinions of those who disagree with him. Ron Paul is just a mirror image of Obama , while the test shows that I agree with 68% of Ron Pauls views ( and only 15% of Obama's ) I don't want another idealist in the White House That is an unpardonable character flaw for a President. |

Interesting, but I really don't feel the answers for the questions are broad enough to align you with a proper candidate. For example, with many tests I take, I align well with Gary Johnson and Ron Paul. In this one I was 74% Ron Paul, but Johnson was around 40%. #2 was Santorum? Thanks though. |
