Yep, me too.

Cindy McKinney? What?!?!? What the hell was she doing on there.

flatbutt 09-09-2008 06:48 AM

McCain, Clinton, Barr

Rick Lee 09-09-2008 06:51 AM

While the questions were obviously simple enough for a kid to understand, I still came up with Barr first and Obama last.

Ms. McKinney left in disgrace from Georiga politics. When she first ran, she was looked upon as a fresh and exciting new face on the political frontier gaining popularity amongst all in her District. Her own personnel agenda coupled with anti-Israeli pro Palestinian rhetoric helped turned the tide in her popularity. In fact the Israeli's contributed greatly to her opponent who beat her. Not be be outdone, she ran again and won by a narrow margin against an rookie and then gained notice when she had that stint with a Capital security guard. Although found innocent of all charges it was the last nail in her coffin. McKinney, who is a pain in the arsss, we thought was out of politics UNTIL THIS HAPPENED!!!! I am sure Cynthia will get some support on her ticket, but will she ever just give up and go back to teaching? God, I hope after this election, she will......

I certainly don't want this moron to be teaching kids anything!!! I say we just give this tool a nice retirment check for the rest of her life, so long as she promises to keep her mouth shut and never bothers us again! :eek:

Mc Cain, then Barr

What I find funny is that Gloria La Riva and Brian Moore, both enumerated socialists, scored closer with me (15% & 13%) than Hillary and Obama (10% & 8%)

speedracing944 09-09-2008 07:31 AM

Barr 45%
Baldwin 30%
McCain 28%

Speedy:)

Who the hell is this Barr guy? He seems to be at or near the top of a majority of lists, and I've never heard of him.

Rick Lee 09-09-2008 08:14 AM

Bob Barr used to be a Republican Congressman from Georgia and prior to that was a DOJ prosecutor or U.S. Atty. I forget which. He is a recent convert to the Libertarian Party.

onewhippedpuppy 09-09-2008 08:16 AM

Barr then McCain. Funny, even Nader beat out Hillary and Obama for me.

Nathans_Dad 09-09-2008 08:22 AM

McCain then Barr. Obama was about 2/3 of the way down the list. The last two were the socialist candidates.

I can sleep better at night now...

Thx.

Pazuzu 09-09-2008 08:35 AM

It's funny...here I am, an avowed Libertarian who finds Barr too restrictive. Yet, all you guys that have him poping up on the top of your list insist on calling me a liberal, commie, Obama apologist.

Funny.

FWIW, I had a 71% match to Barr in economics.

A GA congressman.

I had
Barr 43%
Baldwin 30%
Nader 28% WTF
McCain 25%

Obama & Hill last.

I'm confused. I don't agree with Nader on the color of the sky.

stevepaa 09-09-2008 09:09 AM

one certainly does need to read the definitions as the summary choice is not altogether consistent with the scoring definitions.


Clinton and Obama tie for first....Nader...McCain, Barr

tc-sacto 09-09-2008 09:20 AM

50% Bar...(44% social/ 54% economic)
48% McCain...( 31% social / 58% economic)
23% O'bama....(13% social / 29% economic)

Since I live in Califorina and it's a forgoine conclusion the state will go to O'bama I guess I can feel comfortable voting for Barr.

Sunroof 09-09-2008 10:16 AM

Barr from Georgia is as far to the right as McKinney is to the left! In fact I do think you can get any farther right then Bob Barr. Bob Barr makes Rush look like Kennedy!

Seric 09-09-2008 10:30 AM

McCain, Barr.

I don't think they were simple. for instance


"teach family values in school" is not about teaching honesty, courtesy but is about praying in school versus maintaining a secular viewpoint


"replace coal and oil with alternatives "does not mean nuclear power but is either approve Kyoto or say there is no such thing as global warming


"replace US troops with UN in Iraq" does not mean that. support means we consult with UN before we take action, almost implying veto power over our actions and oppose means we get out of UN


I guess this is just another example of simple questions and simple answers are not the solution.

But according to Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, "This election is not about issues."

Davis is absolutely right. If it were about the issues, Obama wouldn't have half the support he has, since he millions of mindless lemming followers whose only criteria are "change" and Obama. I doubt his followers are really dying for a tax hike or new socialist spending. My buddy who's voting for him can't name a single thing Obama is for. He just has a lot of white guilt all pent up.
