    ABC quiz to find out which candidate best matches your views

    They cut down the number of candidates in this little quiz to see which presidential candidate you match up with the best but it was a decent little quiz even if I didn't like the limits of some of their choices.

    I came out very strong for Ron Paul, Perry and Gingrich tied a distant third. I mean they were way way back in the pack in comparison to the Ron Paul score. Kind of tickled my giggle.

    I wonder which stances they used for Mitt and Newt, the ones from a few years ago or the current ones?

    Mine were Romney, Newt and Huntsman. As I stated I'm not sure which stances they used for Mitt and Newt the new or the old ones . Regardless I wouldn't vote for either despite what ABC thinks or says. I guess Huntsman could possibly get my vote considering what little I know of him, but even he isn't my first choice at this point.

    I'm not sure I'm so against his foreign policy (IMO much of it is bound to happen at some point) but his way of expressing is completely off from how he needs to sell it.

    I can agree to greatly reduce overseas troops. I can agree to rein in CIA and others to not interfere in most cases. There are some things we just cannot ignore. Iran is one, their supreme leader wants to use nukes to bring the hidden Imam back. He is going to use nukes if he gets them and has said so.

    Red face

    1) O'bummer
    2) Huntsman
    3) Romney

    It would be nice if they had more candidates from the Left to choose from, these things usually match me with Ralph Nader on top.

    No just some questions I was comfortable with more than one answer.

    Surprise Ron Paul was my first choice.

    2. Newt Gingrich
    3. Michele Bachmann

    No way am I voting for Newt. I don't know a whole lot about Bachmann.

    That is about what I think though I wouldn't vote for Huntsman either.

    I agree with you here. I think as far as Ron Paul forign policy goes I don't like it. How ever I belive it is bound to happen one way or the other. I also belive that it is the lesser of two evils we have to cut back significantly or there will be no US left at all when we go broke. his problem is expressing that. Every one just loves to call him an isolationist which he isn't. I have not heard him say not trade and lets just close our boarders like midevil Japan. What I hear is a not interventanalist policy of not playing the worlds police man while significantly cutting back our commitmints to save money.

    What is it about Huntsman you don't like? All I know of him is he's rather progun, probusiness, speaks Chinese (was Chinese ambassador) and anti federal right to abortion. None of those seem that bad. At this point I'd say he's my #2 pick out of a very weak field...

    1) Perry
    2) Paul
    3) Romney

    Paul and Perry were actually Tied and Romney was second.
