Answer the 11 questions below to find out which candidates are most aligned with your views and opinions. You might be surprised. Most of us "think" we are issue oriented, but that's nearly impossible in this era of Reality TV Politics.
Dont remember the points, but John Edwards was allegedly my candidate.
I was uncomfortable answering the questions because they made the issues (to a large degree) black or white, when IMO they are not. Take Social security for example. The choice was to privatize or not. How about stop giving it away like its donated cheese irrespective of the recipient's contributions??!!
And re: schools, the choices were basically about the success (or lack thereof) of No Child Left Behind. Well, IMO a real solutions considers both the governmental and social causes of poor educational performance.
DV, maybe you should run b/c I clearly need a candidate who has the guts to say that things in America often arent "either - or." Every issue has gray area not captured or discussed in a 2 party system (or what might as well be a two party system).
What do you believe the role of government should be? Perhaps if you use that starting point for answering each question, you might find a consistency.
For example, the No Child Left Behind Act is patently unconstitutional. Not only does it violate the general principle of limited government, but the 10th Amendment clearly states that those powers not expressly granted to the Fed are reserved to the States.
Education has traditionally been one of the powers "reserved" to the States.
HillBill won with 17, then Chris Dodd and my man Obama was a 14. I echo RJEsq though in that the choices were really braod and for me there was some overlap.
"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."
Lord Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science On Society (Routledge Press: New York, 1951).
"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

RJEsq,
What do you believe the role of government should be? Perhaps if you use that starting point for answering each question, you might find a consistency.
For example, the No Child Left Behind Act is patently unconstitutional. Not only does it violate the general principle of limited government, but the 10th Amendment clearly states that those powers not expressly granted to the Fed are reserved to the States.
Education has traditionally been one of the powers "reserved" to the States.
On that basis alone, the Act should be repealed.
HillBill won with 17, then Chris Dodd and my man Obama was a 14. I echo RJEsq though in that the choices were really braod and for me there was some overlap.
Hillary, Damien?
Damn. I wouldn't have guessed that. You strike me more as an Edwards / Kucinich cat.
