Hillary: 18

Gravel (who?): 17
McCain: 16
Huckabee: 11
Paul: 7

Funny, cause I will vote for McCain. Of course, part of that is because I really believe he will do what he says.

I guess it's accurate in showing that I'm not in total agreement with any candidate out there.

One problem I had with the poll was that I agree with McCain on immigration but it said that "Tighten security first. Then provide a path to citizenship for those here" (or something like that) was against John McCain. That's not my understanding.

Clinton: 35
Obama: 34
Gravel: 28
Romney: 17
McCain: 13

Obama's still got my vote though.

I've taken this one before... Don't like it though... Half the questions I didn't really know what to answer. Obama wins in any case, but I think this is one of the less accurate ones... Also it doesn't ask enough questions about the economy, which is my most important issue. Obama and Hillary (who was 2nd) certainly don't agree with me about that. Immigration is my second most important issue, and neither of them agree with me about that either. Sooo I don't like this test. Generally the longer, more detailed ones are more accurate.

I think this is the first time one of these things has actually matched who I was leaning towards voting for. I was also pleased to see Huckabee ranked last.

John McCain Score: 33

Mitt Romney Score: 23

Barack Obama Score: 19

Hillary Clinton Score: 19

Mike Gravel Score: 18

Mike Huckabee Score: 13

You know what? I like Huckabee. I haven't decided if I can bring myself to vote for him but I like what he says, and his economics are almost spot on.... If I could just reconcile myself with his theocratic tendencies... I'm a little frustrated.

That last bit is the problem for me. His political leanings aren't the problem so much as the fact that, at heart, I know he's a Baptist preacher who would get in the national spotlight and deny basic scientific principles because the Bible tells him so.

I also kinda fear him giving christianity a bad rep by trying to force non-believers to obey his beliefs... That's not the way to come off.

Well he couldn't force anything... I mean, think about how much power the President actually has..

As far as him not believing in scientific principles, well I dunno how that relates to anything he would do as President. I don't care if the president believes in creationism or evolution or what. That's a non-issue for me.

I think it is just the image that would be plastered on Christianity of Huckabee starts trying to get biblical law written into the constitution, like he said he wanted to do.

As far as scientific principles, I think it just shows a bit of the person's belief system and character. But I agree that it's not a big deal.

What right has any politician to try and implant their beliefs on a country.

It would discriminate against anyone who isnt Christian, or non believer.

Well it's all kind of moot, because the President can't change the Constitution.

No, but theres one up the road from you who ignores it regulary.

Well it's all kind of moot, because the President can't change the Constitution.

They can't pass laws either, but they all go around acting like they do, and we all vote for the ones that pretend they'll pass laws we like.

That's pretty much it... Issues like abortion are the "big issues" when selecting a president, but the president really doesn't matter much on that front.

I also kinda fear him (Huckabee) giving christianity a bad rep by trying to force non-believers to obey his beliefs....

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Gee fucking whiz.

We certainly wouldn't want THAT to ever begin to happen in America.

:rolleyes:

Ah....I see.

So it matters nothing to you whether the leader of the most powerful nation on earth is a superstitious imbecile or if he recognizes hundreds of years of accumulated scientific knowledge and research.

Theists don't seem to understand that, in science, a theory is the highest possible status that any explanation can have. In laymen terms a theory is a 'guess'. Evolution is not a guess. It is the sum of a mountain of evidence collected over many, many years, and there is zero evidence for creationism except in pseudoscience.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Gee fucking whiz.

We certainly wouldn't want THAT to ever begin to happen in America.

:rolleyes:
:lolhit: Yeah I'm pretty sure it already happened.

As far as evolution goes, yes, I know how well-documented it is and I know what the scientific definition of theory is. However, what does believing in evolution have to do with being President?

Nothing per se, but even so, do you want the leader of your country saying ignorant things in your name?

However, what does believing in evolution have to do with being President?

For me, it has to do with whether or not they are sane.

Those people who, with all the scientific evidence we have at our disposal in the year 2008, steadfastly maintain that creationism is a better, more coherent, more plausible explanation for how human beings came to be on this planet are --in my view-- suffering from a form of insanity.

It is one thing when some 85 year old woman with a second grade education who belongs to the ** First United Apostolic Church of the Believers of the Son of The Lamb and Holy Spirit of the Gospel Missionary Temple of the Redeemer**and who lives in rural Gumbo, Alabama is unshakeably convinced that almighty God reached down 6000 years ago and took a rib out of Adam and made a woman with it on the spot.........it is quite another thing when the leader of the most powerful nation on earth is convinced of such a preposterous fairy tale.

As far as evolution goes, yes, I know how well-documented it is and I know what the scientific definition of theory is. However, what does believing in evolution have to do with being President?

Well, the type of person required to disbelieve evolution is not the type of person I would want to be president. It means this person is willing to interpret a 2,000 year old book and believe so fervently in his intepretations that he is willing to disregard the centuries of scientific research that have built evolutionary principles. In other words, he prizes faith and "gut feelings" over expertise and research....I really am not ready for another president like that.

Beyond that, it validates the "creationism" point of view. This is a serious problem since a substantial portion of our country already views creationism as something that should be taught in science class. To me, that is a serious national problem - that we are confusing religion and science.

How do these people talk away dinosaur fossils?

How do these people talk away dinosaur fossils?

Well, there was a "science" museum built by religious founders recently which features exhibits of dinosaurs living side by side with early man (by "early," this museum means no more than a few thousand years ago).

There's also the belief that God made the earth with fossils already present...Afterall, God can do anything he wants.

zzzzzzzzzzz right-Im sorry I asked-thanks.
