    Funny thing here is, I've been a huge Barack supporter, and he was #4 for me.

    I don't understand what most of the things (e.g. Tax Reform) means, but I'd quite like to take the quiz. Anyone wanna give me a brief description of each? [​IMG]

    Tax Reform.

    The US tax code is 800,000 plus pages. Very difficult to understand - though for most people, it's simple enough to fill out the 1040ez form (it's like one page).

    The idea of tax reform is to scrap the current tax code and implement something in its place that's easier and makes more sense. Like a national sales tax or a flat tax.

    I think that would me more like the UK, 17.5% VAT on everything, plus different taxes on different goods. E.g. petrol is something like 200% :S

    Apparently, I'm a republican.

    Now give me my gun and get your mexican ass off my lawn. oh wait, what's that? you're not done watering it? well, then finish off and get your ass off my lawn.

    i guess i value experience too much to be a Barack fan.

    #1 - Chris Dodd
    #2 - Barack Obama
    #3 - Mitt Romney

    But most of the issues didn't mean that much to me. I tended to vote for things the way I'd want the UK to be, or what I like about the UK (e.g. NHS), but I had to adjust some sliders purely to make sense of it all. For example, I value experience, but don't mind between House of Reps, Senate of Governor. I just don't think being in the military or running a business ought to make you a good candidate for President. More than anything, though, I value good Education for the most powerful person in the world. They should be able to pronounce E-CON-O-MY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Looks like I'm really strongly in favour of Obama here, as the attachment shows

    In the second candidate match game, I was easily an Obama guy. I only agreed with McCain (on the topics covered at least) on taxes; and only sort of concurred with him on an "undefined" withdrawal in Iraq (I still wouldn't have ever gone there in the first place though).

    I also don't support Global Warming, but both candidates are in favor of it.

    Too bad Gravel isn't running as a 3rd party candidate. He'd get my vote.

    He & Barr were up for the Libertarian nomination. Neither IMO are are Libertarians, so, i don't know who to vote for.

    I'm tempted to write in the ticket of Stewie Griffin/Eric Cartman.
