Weird, I got a 95.65% match TIE with the Fred and the Tanc.

[RockinRight]

Fred was second place for me. Oddly Tancredo was #1.

[girlscout]

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) 95.83% match
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) - 87.50%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) - 83.33%
Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson (R) - 83.33%

At least my guy came in second. I was worried there for a minute. hahaha

[The_Victor]

Duncan Hunter - 94.92%
Fred Thompson (R) - 90.68%
Sam Brownback (R) - 89.83%
Mitt Romney (R) - 88.98%

[Tatze]

Its not how they agree with each other, its how they agree with you. The could both agree with you about the same percentage of the time, but on completely different issues.

[jammer]

Kind of interesting. My [undisclosed] candidate turned out to be exactly who they told me I should support. Of course, all that means is that I evaluated the positions of the crop of creeps correctly.

Oh, heck, I guess it doesn't matter to tell you my candidate: Go Coolidge!!!!

[ozarkgirl]

Well this was a bit of a surprise but I suppose it’s ok.

Each Time I take this the numbers change slightly.. so obviously I didn't answer the questions the same way each time.. this time I wrote down my answers..

Duncan Hunter... 87.34%
Mitt Romney..... 84.18%
Tom Tancredo.... 82.28%
Fred Thompson... 72.15%

I find all these numbers very interesting.. I think to add more "validity" we should all post how we answered each question, this would really open ourselves up for some REAL discussions on the "ISSUES"

I will start....

Abortion Rights.......... No....High.... *LIFE of Mother ONLY*
Death Penalty......... Yes.... High... *Don't do the CRIME*
No Child Left Behind..... No..... Medium...... *we prefer to HomeSchool, but Homeschooling is not for everybody*
Embryonic Stem Cell Research..... No..... High... *Equal to abortion in my view*
ANWR Drilling......... Yes..... High......*Reduce reliance on Foreign sources*
Kyoto Protocol....... No..... High...... *Sorry not buying "Global Warming"
Assault Weapons Ban...... No....High...... *Any questions see 2nd Ammendment*
Gun Background Checks....No..... Low..... *Only to determine if prior conviction of felony, takes 2 seconds..* Support "SHALL ISSUE" concept for CCW
Patriot Act...... Yes..... High......*it's the REAL WORLD out there folks*
Guantanamo........ Yes.....High....* I assumed this is generic for holding suspected terrorist*
Water Boarding of Captives......Yes...... High.....*WHATEVER it takes to get the information vital to our NATIONAL SECURITY*
Citizen Path for Illegals.... No..... High.... *KEYWORD - ILLEGAL.. Citizen path for LEGAL IMMIGRANTS - ABSOLUTELY !
Border Fence....... Yes.....High... *BUILD IT NOW !! It's the LAW**
Internet Neutrality.......YES...Medium.... **keep the internet UNRESTRICTED..... No good argument to favor "regulation" of the internet at this time.. if your use does not affect my use than leave it alone**
Iran Sanctions...... Yes......High....a good start
Iran Military Action...... Yes.....High...... now that's more like it..
Support Iraq War..... Yes... High....central to War on Terror !! -- Baghdad is the key - make no mistake about it.
Increase Minimum Wage.... No... Medium.... State issue IMHO....
Same Sex Marriage....No......High.... issue is out of control.. U.S. Constitutional ammendment needed to stop the madness
Universal Health Care.......No..... High.... See Canada, doesn't work..
Free Trade...... No...... Medium.....I support FAIR TRADE to be exact.. see China for example of UNFAIR trade.
School Vouchers....... Yes.......Medium......Step in the right direction to reduce government CONTROL of our kids education..
Privatizing Social Security.... Yes......High......DO IT NOW

[davidosborne]

Remember there is more to supporting a candidate that just how High/med/low a particular issue is on your list.. that’s why I suggested posting your responses to the questions in order to get the heart of the issue debate..

[1Old Pro]

I got Hunter, too bad I won’t have a chance to vote for him.

[davidosborne]

The percentages seem to be vary a bit each time I take the test.... I took the test again, and answered all the questions the same way, and got the same basic order but different percentages.. This time I got..

Duncan Hunter... 92.41%
Mitt Romney..... 89.24%
Tom Tancredo.... 87.34%
Fred Thompson... 77.22%

[Sloth]

I got 100% with Tancredo. Using the opposite answers, I got 90% for Mike Gravel.

[davidosborne]

You mean the Global warming truther Mike Gravel.. ?? LOL.. I would be very interested in seeing your responses which resulted in 100% Tancredo.. Thanks

[dirtboy]

95.74 for Fred. Suprise.

[Sun]

“Romney 100% — Ouch

Hunter 85%
Thompson 85%
Tancredo 84%”

Keep in mind that you got what Romney SAYS he’s going to do now that he has declared, and not what he said he would, and did do BEFORE he declared.

[Sun]

I got 91% for Duncan Hunter!

[davidosborne]

Please post your RESPONSES that gave you a 95.74 for Fred... thanks..

Or at least post a few responses that differ from mine so I can figure it out..

[Sloth]

I would be very interested in seeing your responses which resulted in 100% Tancredo.

Actually, when I went back and used the high-medium-low priorities (I didn't the first time through), I still got Tancredo but only at 87% or so.

[davidosborne]

I would like someone who got over 90% for FRED to tell me where their responses differ from mine.. thanks..
