I just took the 'test'
here, and it pointed me towards McCain as the closest candidate.
Of course, I don't think that it was a very good test, as a number of options were nearly identical.
For example, question 5:
What do you think should be done -- if anything -- in the wake of the near collapse of companies specializing in subprime mortgages, and the foreclosures of homes?
Among the various answers, here's two:
Nothing. The Federal Reserve Bank shouldn't be "bailing out" mortgage lenders.
The Federal Reserve Bank shouldn't be "bailing out" mortgage lenders.
on firearms, two answers that I think are a little close for a simple true/false measure:
The Second Amendment is primarily about tyranny and self-defense, not hunting. Citizens must be able to defend themselves from government, if need be, and from all threats to our lives and property. I oppose gun control based on geography. I opposed banning assault weapons and opposed the Brady Bill.
I believe law abiding citizens have the right to keep and bear arms. I oppose bans on assault rifles, ammunition and ammunition magazines. I oppose litigation against gun manufacturers for crimes committed by third parties. I support background checks at gun shows. I believe that gun control is a proven failure in fighting crime.
While you can object to the background check part of the second measure, to be honest it's a minor issue to me, depending on how it plays out. Something like having a FFL perform quick checks via the existing system* even for private party sales wouldn't be too hard.
Also, there's nothing on balancing the budget, fiscal restraint, etc...
*Yes, NICS can and should be improved in speed, reliability, accuracy, and ease of making corrections.
