Whch would you choose?

[Guest]

This is an interesting test. Gives you quotes from Obama and McCain on various issues, you choose which quote is closer to your beliefs and then lets you know for who you picked as your candidate based on those quotes. I believe it was very even-handed.

Redwitch, I just received that in an email from a friend.....it was very interesting and I my chosen candidate did come up the winner.

[Guest]

Hi Red,
I also posted it this afternoon under the thread Quiz: McCain or Obama. Interesting !

[Guest]

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'

* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School, you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as an excellent community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 3 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who ga ve up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.


OK, much clearer now.

My sister sent me this today....I found it remarkably true.

[Guest]

[Guest]

That was cool!!
I did it........it sure was correct! I was 100% McCain !!

At least I'm voting by the issues and not emotion.

Immigration? I had about 5 for McCain guess that's why I am a not one of those liberal democrats.

[Guest]

In this household, I scored 12 out of 13 for Obama. And vetman (gasp) scored 8 out of 13 for . . . (drumroll) Obama! Hahahaha!

My Repub hubby was shocked! :1rotfl:

[Guest]

Great quiz. I wish every potential voter could take it. Then they'd be voting on the actual issues instead of emotions. My quiz results actually tallied with my candidate of choice.

[Guest]

8 to 5 Obama; I though it would be a larger difference, but that may mirror my suburban lilly white youth adjacent to the Mayor Richard J Daley's 21 year Big Machine.
