Take this quiz and find out which candidate you agree with most.  It's just a fun thing.  No ads.

An extremely flawed survey. First, question #4 says "government spending should..." increase or decrease. That implies that some programs cannot be cut to fund others, such as slashing the bloated Pentagon budget to pay for things like healthcare or other social programs. It's not about "big" government, it's about "good" government.

Second, the results say that Obama is my match - but where's Kucinich in this survey? Or Richardson? Cynthia McKinney?

Question #9 is similarly flawed, as is #5.

I recommend that people ignore the survey.

It's too linear of a quiz and isn't really thorough on anything, not like other ones I've taken. But just for the hell of it guess who I agreed with most?

Ron Paul: Agreed 8, Disagreed 2

compared to...

Hilary Clinton: Agreed 1, Disagreed 9

It said I agreed with 6/10 in common with Obama. I would never vote for Obama. Mike Gravel is my candidate, although I also like Ron Paul. This quiz is too small to make a candidate match and needs more candidates for matching. These are better candidate match sites:

This thing is outdated.

1. Was invading Iraq a mistake?

From CNN.com: "Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said she is not sorry she voted for a resolution authorizing President Bush to take military action in Iraq despite the recent problems there but she does regret 'the way the president used the authority.'"
(link)

Clinton said:    No

Clinton flipped and now says it was a mistake........

selectsmartmart matched my selection about as well as a quiz could. The good ones will at least put the ones you actually considered in the top tiers.

5. Ron Paul 3-7

i think survey is quite silly though,,, as for real me, i ideologically agree with liberal democrats but will think twice whether i want those to lead my country.
