Re: Select a Candidate for 2008

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

I heard a segment on Friday on NPR about Guiliani, a former staunch advocate of gun control while mayor of NYC, he was giving a speech to the NRA about 2nd amendment rights.
These guys have no shame......... or principles that can't be bought for the right price.

biofuels -- we should definitely expand research, but production? As Kathy pointed out, they currently aren't petroleum saving. They will drive up the cost of livestock feed and other products, so they aren't a panacea, but they are a starting point.

more like require everyone to drive a 30 mpg+ vehicle.... ahem....

immigration -- enforce the existing laws and send employers to jail. Hmmm, that wasn't an option. This is a major hot button for me, but not because I blame the immigrants, I blame those who've exploited them.

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

Jeez,my TOP results were only 26 point match. I consider myself a moderate and an Independant.

This does not bode well for me in 2008. :unsure:

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

Hang on Big Davy G - I think we ALL agree we need to sort out the oil crisis, but America's not going about the biofuel business the right way. Corn - which is the basis of their research - is fatally flawed because it has a one-to-one conversion ratio (uses as much energy to make it as it gives out) and you'd need to convert four Americas into corn fields to produce enough to fuel america.

Sugar based biofuel is likely - so lets pour our gas money into the carribbean instead of the middle east and finally let them get rich off something other than tourism.

So being against federally funded biofuel ISN'T a bad thing - it doesn't mean you're against biofuel entirely - just the cackhanded US version of it.

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

I got Joe Biden, beating a joint second of Hillary!, Obama and John Edwards.

Although I don't particularly like Biden as a person (or his public persona, never actually met him)

This will be the first US election where I can vote, having got citizenship 2 months ago. Oh, and I'm registerd as Unaffiliated.

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

I was thinking the same thing about people that got scores in the 40's and 50's. My top few candidates were only 3 our 4 points difference, and my top 2 guys got 29 points each. One of the Republicans even got 17 points :unsure:

Congratulations. I just got mine a week ago. I registered unaffiliated too

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

Well my take was that anything that begins to take the US down that path can only be a good thing, despite the many potential short-term inefficiencies and issues.

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

well i got hilary and obama tied with 45

apparently I disagree with them on taxes and iraq

why can't we have a nice candidate who wants to cut taxes and leave Iraq asap?

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

It's use of the taxes they do get really.

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

... but it doesn't mean the test taker's going to vote according to the results.:)

Re: Select a Candidate for 2008
 

Kucinich at my top got 64 points; Dodd 62; Gravel 59. I'll bet the difference is "how strongly" you feel about each issue; I tend to feel fairly strongly and indicated that.
