I\’ve been avoiding talking about the political landscape lately, even though I have plenty to say. Part of the problem is that I haven\’t had much time in general to devote to the site; that much should be obvious by my complete lack of content. Still, I couldn\’t stay quiet after reading the following article:
It says that if we consider all the candidates, and all their stances on all the issues, that 57% of all voters (emphasis mine) will be most compatible with Dennis Kucinich. It links a site (which I\’ll link below) where you can rate your position on issues (and weight their importance), and it\’ll tell you who\’s the best candidate for you. Yep, I ran it for myself. Yep, my top candidate was Kucinich. And it wasn\’t even close.
Much like the author of the initial article, I\’ve found myself being interested in what Ron Paul has to say lately, and like the author, found him to be lacking, but still interesting. After reading up a bit on Kucinich, I\’m prepared to say that I\’ll be registering for the primaries to support him. No question about it.
If you\’d like to take the candidate test for yourself, that link is right here:
If you\’d like to check out Kucinich\’s campaign site, that\’s here.
Two bits of information in closing. Of the \”mainstream\” candidates, the highest ones listed for me were Obama and Clinton, pretty much in a dead heat, which is what I\’d expect. And I\’m going to go on record right now as saying that when the 2008 election finally does roll around, I\’m voting on the issues this time. Last time I voted for Kerry, even though he was a limp noodle, just because he wasn\’t Bush. This time I\’m voting with my conscience.
I\’ll have more to say as the months go along. Stay tuned.
P.S. If you take the test, please feel free to post your own results and opinions in the comments.
