If you vote for a president without taking into account your results for this quiz, you aren't making an informed vote: www.dehp.net/candidate/index.phpI got Kucinich with a score of 82, but I already knew he was the right candidate for me. I did this in school and I'm home now, so I don't remember EXACTLY the order of candidates or their scores, yeah, there it is. A very handy device for those of you who don't know too much about the candidates out there. |

I'm surprised, I too got Kucinich with 51... guess that's who I'll be voting for, I really wish my states Governor, Bill Richardson was doing better. I'd love to vote for him in the actual election, he did a LOT of great things for New Mexico.

It's faulty.
The stances of the candidates are misrepresented here.

I got Hillary. Seeing as though I completely hate her, this is definitely wrong.

For some of the candidates it says they support a war with Iran, when they don't. It says they support NCLB when they don't. It shows they support immigration policies that they don't.

Just as I suspected... I'm not really in-line with many of the candidates because I don't really think that any one issue is "key" for me to vote for/against an individual candidate.
30 - Paul
Disagreements: (8) Death Penalty, Embryonic Stem Cells, Assault Weapons Ban, Guns - Background Checks, Iran Sanctions, Minimum Wage Increase, Same-Sex Marriage, Universal Healthcare
Unknowns/Other: (1) Same-Sex Civil Union
-------
As of right now, I will be voting for Ron Paul.

It's mostly correct, the information was collected a few months ago. But honestly, would you want to vote for a candidate that changes their opinion that quickly?
Plus, if you're complaining about false information, it means you know the candidate, which means you know if they have different views now, which means you should be able to figure out the difference.

No surprise on mine. I'm a huge supporter of Kucinich and that's what it came up with.
I think if people took the time and dissected the issues, rather than just vote according to what party they represent, this country might not be so shitty and people would realize the imposters they have put into power.

I apparently should vote for Romney...but I won't.
Also, anyone who would vote for an increase in the minimum wage needs to have their head examined. Economically speaking, it doesn't matter. An increase in minimum wage effectively increases the costs of every good available for purchase because it now costs much more to produce each good, completely nullifying the increase in minimum wage.
It doesn't help...it hurts. It's simple economics.
