Who Do you Agree with?

I had a Big Mac attack!!! :D

BMT

Only one I picked that Obama said and I agreed with, was that marriage should be left to the states; besides that, all McCain.

Zoiks...
 

I agreed with Senator Obama on two points--universal health care and immigration.

What a revolting development this is.

I'm with Johnny Mac... "all the way"!

The RIGHT!
 

McCain.

RF 1

I sided with McCain as well. It was hard to pick from a "first look" perspective because I could hear Obama saying "When I become President, I will.." and so on. Like Rush Limbaugh has said before, Obama is more focused on "I" while McCain's statements tend to start with "we". "I" tend to agree with him.

I think this was a good test for me. I never listen to their speeches so I dont really know the quotes. I got McCain on all but 3, didnt check which ones.

3 for Obama......I can't believe I did that:(

I got three for Obama as well. This quiz makes the big assumption that the candidate in question will be able to accomplish the goals in their quotes. Bottom line is Obama shouldn't be trusted with a pen flare.:p

Who do you agree with?
 

I got two for Obama.

Green House gas and the last one.

The last one is a Red Herring. I agree with Obama about what the President should bring into the office - I just disagree with who he thinks has what it takes.

I had a difference of opinion on the Immigration question but the rest was McCain across the board.

answered 1 under economy for BHO... the rest for McCain

That's a very good quote

Agreed, however how does it apply to this thread concerning one's political opinion?

Jamber97 - no fair
 

Jamber97 - no fair - you didn't put your score out.

I watch and read quite a bit of the political coverage so I couldn't go through the selections without being biased. I was able to choose all Obama and all MCcain quotes. I tried to be honest on a third pass and I was about even, leaning slightly towards Obama.

I had one for Obama on immigration.

This wasn't that great a "test" to determine where you stand.

Some of the quotes were barely discernible, despite the fact that the actual polices advocated to carry out their goals are generally speaking, significantly different.

I will admit, I simply cannot comprehend a vote for Obama. It genuinely puzzles me.

I could lay out why a vote for Obama will yield the best long term results but I would probably get banned.

From looking at your profile I'd say you're about 21 something, and yes, I really don't want to hear your view on politics, especially concerning a senator that's been in office less than half a year.

I'm also sure you understand the reason why a dimocrat dominated house and senate can get nothing done or why the current congress has the lowest rating in American history.

Spare me your theories. :rolleyes:

BTW, I'm real sick of giving non-working people handouts and I don't care what color their skin is.....

I'll lay out such a conditional case.

In the event that b-ho comes to power, and there wasn't irreparable damage done during his tenure;
the resultant train wreck would motivate voters to keep the dims out of the oval office for some time.

It would be kinda like jimmy carter followed by the 80's.

IMO, such a path to "best long-term results" isn't worth the risk.

I was with McCain on everything except carbon emissions and abortion, which was pretty much what I expected.

100% agreement.

I'm embarrassed to say that I got only 6 for McCain. Perhaps that's because I don't listen to much of the political posturing.

I wonder what those who want government subsidized (hence controlled) health care will say when rationing starts? And it will start; to get a vision of where that path leads, simply seek a general care doctor who accepts new Medicare patients.

As I have said before, obama would make jimmy carter look like RONALD REAGAN!!!

I ended up with 2 in the Obama column and the rest in Mccain's.....

Laughed at and pitied, more likely. Out of morbid curiosity, what possible good could Obama bring to my country?

I wonder what ABC think's of the poll result's?

BMT

Well Ill tell you what, if you want to give it a go, Ill hear you out...just as long as we stick to a couple ground rules...

There is such a thing as right and wrong, the law of non contradiction does apply, the English language cannot be rewritten to mean what ever you want.

Agree to those terms and Ill be happy to debate the issue...what say you.

We can go topic by topic. Or if you feel more comfortable, send me a private message.

All with McCain, except #7 on border security - which I believe is one of McCain's "blind spots"

SnT

John McCain hands down....

almost an even split 8 obama 7 mccain, kind of how i have felt all along.

Given the quote you use, I am a little confused by your candidate preference.

Exactly.

Obama's background, his political views, and his socialist, pacifist agenda are the very antithesis of Heinlein.

TR

On this one I took it and got two for Obama. I can't remember which ones though. On some of them it was real hard to figure out what they were really saying....wait, that's kinda like how it is all the time.

All this talk about Heinlein is making me want to read Starship Troopers again :D

well jamber...I'm waiting.

Dont worry I got approval..you can speak your mind...lol

My being a fan of Heinlein literature doesn't necessarily make me think all of his ideas are right, just a fan of classic sci-fi writing I suppose. Much like the current candidates I find neither of their ideas entirely appealing mainly due to the party lines they are forced to adopt.

For example the Obama campaign's stance against nuclear energy(well sort of He has said one thing but has Pelosi on his ticket and that says something else).

Or Mccain's ideals on abortion equally stemming from the christian base of the party.

I find the absurd amount of partisanship in the electoral process to be severely handicapping the democratic process. We are frequently forced to pick a "lesser of two evils" candidate and it makes it impossible for an independent to ever have a shot at the executive branch due to the massive inertia of the two parties.

Three for Obama. One on taxes because, well, my grounding in economics isn't terribly strong. One on gay marriage because leaving it up to the states strikes me as more of a small government conservative idea than a liberal "the federal government must fix everything" idea. One on immigration because I disagreed with both and just picked one at random.

Oh jamber..."just as a female"...a-hem...am curious as well. Is it Hussein's foreign policy, or Tax-initiatives that you find so endearing? Perhaps it is his good-looks that real you in??? Just asking...:rolleyes:

Holly:)

McCain of course!
:D

2 for Obama but they were on ones that the answers were unclear
