[jefnvk]

85% Thompson, however, I don't like having to pick on each issue.  Woudl rather have a 'not important' choice

[Warren]

86.57 match to Ron Paul, so no suprise there. The next closest was 57% for Tancredo IIRC.

[CAnnoneer]

Thompson 75%, Hunter a close second (72%). Too bad neither would likely win.

[LAK]

Ron Paul. Hard to say whether that is 100%; I have not heard him say or read anything stated or written by him that I disagree with so far.

91% Tom Tancredo...

[HankB]

89.86% match with Tom Tancredo, with Hunter, Romney, and Thompson at 85.51%, 75.36%, and 72.46% respectively. (They must've based this on what Romney is saying today, rather than how he governed MA.)

The worst-ranking Republican was Ron Paul at 53.62% . . .

Twenty points down I see the highest ranking democrat was Biden (!) at 33.33% . . . Kucinich came in dead last at 10.14% . . . I've heard both speak, and wonder how either managed to score so high.

[GigaBuist]

A 97.3% match for Ron Paul.  No surprise there.

What's more telling is this:

Bottom of the Barrel

New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) - 25.68%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) - 25.68%

[Nitrogen]

No candidate matched me more than 40%.
I hated this quiz because the one that matched me the most was Joe Biden, who i'd never vote for, even if he was the last candidate on earth.

I just have to grit my teeth and bear the fact that if I vote for a democrat, I am voting for a gun banner, and if I vote for a republican, I vote for someone that doesn't believe in science, or other rights that need to be addressed.  I lose either way.

Out of the candidates that have a chance, I'd probably vote Mike Huckabee or Dennis Kucinich.  I really don't like ANY of the top tier candidates from either party.

Obama was 39.58%, but he's an empty suit.
Edwards was 35.42%.  I like the guy personally, but I don't think he's presidential matarial.  If I'm going to vote for a lefty, I want a real lefty like kucinich, not a Johnny-Edwards-come-lately.

Rudy and Richardson were both 33.33%.  I like Richardson's forigen policy experience.  I'd rather have him as a secretary of state, though.

[Firethorn]

90% Tom without getting into setting my 'priorities'.

86.27% for Fred Thompson setting priorities.

It'd probably change some if it had some questions on the drug war or the capability for more 'nuanced' answers.

[Brad Johnson]

Thompson and Tancredo, both at 87.5%.

[yesitsloaded]

88 for Paul, Huckabee second. Surprisingly (maybe not) Hillary came up before Guliani.

[The Swamp Fox]

Paul, Thompson, Tancredo, Hukabee. No one else was over 50%. Too bad all of them together don't have enough votes to beat Clinton.

[Regolith]

80% Tancredo
75% Ron Paul.


I kinda figured Paul would be at the top.  A little surprised.

The only thing I know about Tancredo is his name.  Anyone know what his politics are?

Tancredo's #1 issue has been dealing with illegal immigration.

Obviously pretty close to the same as yours...

Texas Representative Ron Paul (R)
79.51% match

Your Other Top Matches
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) - 77.05%
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) - 72.95%
Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) - 72.13%

Kind of surprised that Huckabee matched up so close to me according to that thing.  I'm not surprised that Thompson and Tancredo were close seconds.

[Werewolf]

Lots here coming up with Tancredo instead of Paul and surprised by it.

I'd guess that's probably because of Paul's stand on national defense and open borders.

My sense is most here are small L libertarians vs Paul who really is a true believer and is a capital L Libertarian.

Uhm, open borders?  This is from Ron Paul's website:

* Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.

* Enforce visa rules.  Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law.  This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.

* No amnesty.  Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.

* No welfare for illegal aliens.  Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules.  But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.

* End birthright citizenship.  As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong. 

* Pass true immigration reform.  The current system is incoherent and unfair.  But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation.  This is insanity.  Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

If that's an 'open borders' plan what the hell does a closed borders plan look like?

[Werewolf]

I stand corrected. Wasn't the 1st time I was wrong and probably won't be the last...

So Ron isn't a true Libertarian then? Can't be with that stand on the border.

[GigaBuist]

So Ron isn't a true Libertarian then? Can't be with that stand on the border.

His stance on abortion (he's against it) doesn't mesh with the Libertarian party either.

[Perd Hapley]

No, Wolf, Ron is a true libertarian.*  It's the Libertarians that are off the mark. 

*Or at least he's more libertarian on those two issues.

It's too bad none of my top 4 have a chance of winning in the primaries.  I'd probably be willing to vote for them.
