TREKBBS Game ... who should you vote for?

[T'Girl]

For President of the United States that is. Lot's of these quiz/tests out there, this one ask a couple of dozen questions, shows how your personal beliefs line up with the 2 main candidates, as well as 3 of the third party candidates. It does asks for a zip code, put down a fake if you wish. Later there a request for a e-mail, which you can skip. Those from outside America can play along too.

if you see fit to do so, post your results. These are mine.

Jill Stein ........... 82% Green
Gary Johnson ... 75% Libertarian
Virgil Goode ..... 58% Constitution
Mitt Romney .... 56% Republican
Barack Obama . 31% Democrat

I sent in my absentee ballot on October 19th.

 

[B.J.]

I can't get that to work. Just keeps sending me back to the zip code after the first question.

But I did have another link that gets into a lot of detail: http://www.isidewith.com/

[Spot's Meow]

Jill Stein - 61%
Barack Obama - 59%
Gary Johnson - 42%
Mitt Romney - 29%
Virgil Goode - 25%

My takeaway is that my political views don't really match with any of the candidates' so I'm not likely to be very well represented no matter who wins.

I also took the iside quiz that B.J. posted and got these results:

I seem to have higher percentages in the second quiz, but the results are pretty much the same.

 

[iguana_tonante]

I only marginally know who Jill Stein is, but I guess she must be awesome.

Obama looks like an acceptable substitute, tho.

 

[thestrangequark]

^She is pretty awesome, actually!

I did a different version of this test about a month ago, and got Jill Stein First and Obama second. This time around I got Obama first and Stein second -- a fluke of the test, as my opinions haven't changed since then.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Gary Johnson 87%
Jill Stein 76%
Barack Obama 65%
Mitt Romney 22%

That's what the last one I did came out as.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Wow, iguana_tonante, only 2% Republican! And I thought my 24% was low.

 

[iguana_tonante]

And even that 2% makes me squirm uncomfortably. Thankfully, I also was listed as having 0% agreement with Virgil Goode, which made me feel a bit better.

More seriously, the current Republican Party platform (social conservatism, libertarian fiscal policies, laissez-faire economics, neo-con foreign relationships, anti-environmentalism, etc.) is pretty much the polar opposite of what I think and believe, so no big surprise there.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I wonder why I got 22% Mitt.

It must have been wanting to drill for something. Yeah.

 

[1001001]

In the first one:

Obama 73%
Stein 69%

In the second one:

Huh. I guess I should look up who Jill Stein is.

 

[MacLeod]

Not exactly a great suprise

Obama 73%
Johnson 65%
Stein 57%
Goode 37%
Romney 30%

But then again by some countries standards Obama is centre/centre-right on the political spectrum, whilst Romney is more to the right.

 

[Amaris]

In the Telegraph poll:

Barack Obama 87%
Jill Stein 64%
Gary Johnson 55%
Mitt Romney 11%


In the ISideWith poll:

 

[smiki]

Okay, I'm not American but I gave this thing a quick go:

In the smaller poll it was:

Jill Stein 65%
Barack Obama 65%
Gary Johnson 62%
Virgil Goode 27%
Mitt Romney 24%

All in all, not surprising.

You know I can't but help notice a pattern emerging here, for those that have posted the results it seems as if this board leans blue (or Green)

You know how on Voyager they said that if you broke the transwarp barrier you'd occupy all points in the universe simultaneously? Well, Mitt Romney is like the transwarp of politicians. He occupies all points on the political spectrum simultaneously and can therefore pander to an audience from any direction instantly. So you're bound to have some things in common with Mitt, because Mitt will advocate for any policy known to man at one point or another if it gets him one step closer to the presidency.

Of course, one of the side effects of this is that you eventually turn into a horny salamander on a distant planet, so Mitt and his sister wives should be doing swell when they reach Kolob.
