Comparing candidates, Part 2

September 11th, 2008, by TheCrawfish

Today, I once again took the quiz of the VAJoe.com Candidate Calculator, found at CLICK HERE!.

While the number of issues discussed and their explanations is good, there is one disappointing aspect of this version. When you are complete, it gives you the matches with the candidates, but does not show how the candidates scored on each issue. You may have matched one candidate a lot on the issues that don’t really matter much to you, but the two or three that you really care about are non-matches, which would cause you to NOT want to vote for him/her.

Here’s how I voted and my percentage matches:
Do you support…..
Abortion Rights: No, Medium
Death Penalty: Yes, Medium
No Child Left Behind: No, Low (Education is not something the feds have Constitutional authority on)
Federal Embryonic Stem Cell Research: No, Medium (If this showed any real promise, the pharmaceutical companies would be all over it with their own money to be first to produce the medications)
ANWR Drilling: YES, HIGH!!!!!!
Kyoto Treaty: NO, HIGH!!!!!
Assault Weapons Ban: No, High
Gun Background Checks: Yes, Medium
Patriot Act: YES, HIGH!!!
Citizen Path for Illegal Invaders: NO, HIGH!!!!!
Border Fence: YES, HIGH!!!
Internet Neutrality: No, Low (keep the gummint out of it!)
US Sanctions vs Iran: Yes, Medium
Military Action vs Iran: No, Medium (not necessary at this time, but might be eventually)
Increase Minimum Wage: NO, HIGH!!!!!! (The federal gummint has no Constitutional authority to interfere in the private business contract between employee and employer!)
Same Sex Marriage: No, Medium
Universal Health Care: NO, HIGH!!!! (Its the Constitution, stoopid!)
Free Trade: No, Medium (Ross Perot was right on this issue!)
School Vouchers: Yes, Low (As long as the feds are involved, yes…but education is a state and local issue according to the Constitution, so kill the Dept of Education and federal regs on this issue!)
Privatize Social Insecurity: YES, HIGH!!!!! (End this unConstitutional Ponzi scheme! See my plan here: ATP Platform 2008 Part 2)
Fair Tax: Yes, Medium (The best way to get rid of corruption and lobbyist influence in Congress)
