Got to issues2000.org

this will show you who you should be supporting for president
I got
Bush 84%

after finding who you support, go to bottome and choose your political
philosophy.
They listed me as a right wing conservative.
seems pretty accurate.

I'm slightly harder-core:
Nader 91%
Gore 79%
Bush 16%
It classied me as a "populist-leaning liberal". I'll accept that.

They have a nice grid of political philosophies, based on whether you want
more government or less government on personal/economic issues.
Personal issues include things like abortion rights, religion in schools, etc.
Ecomonic issues include things like drilling for oil in alaska, etc.
Liberal: Personal freedom, economic control
Liberatarian: Personal freedom, economic freedom
Conservative: Personal control, economic freedom
Authoritarian: Personal control, economic control
So a Libertarian Liberal is probably around 50% on economic issues and very
high on personal freedom. A Moderate Libertarian Liberal is probably a
little lower on issues of personal freedom, maybe around 80%

I think the site's math is screwed up, but here's what it told me:
104% Bill Bradley (apparrently I agree with him 141% of the time on economics)
93% Ralph Nader (I told it I strongly support free trade, and it says I agree
with him 102% on economics)
79% Al Gore
74% Joe Lieberman
35% George Bush
31% Dick Cheney
It says I'm a "Moderate Liberal."

141% of the time on economics? That's an economic figure, alright.

Funny that no one has pointed out that one should also consider the
experience, previous contributions to society, wisdom and common
sense, intelligence, empathy, honesty, insightfulness, generosity,
learnedness, knowledge of government and society, and of science
and economic, etc, of a candidate.

yup. everyone should overlook the covering up of the shrub's dui conviction
as well as dick cheney's two convictions for dui. the american public has
no right to know about candidates who break the law.

(I would have preferred the choices about how to rank the strength
of the categories to be on one page so that I could see to what I was
preferring a particular category.)
(moderate conservative [surprise, surprise])
Cheney 56% Keyes 46% Lieberman 44%
Bush 41% Phillips 40% Hagelin 36%
Buchanan 35% McCain 33% Bradley 31%
Browne 31% Nader 29% Gore 28%
(too bad the actual prez selector is broken, eh?)

(how do you "flunk God," and how is that relevant to his secular leadership
abilities?)
I went and read up on the Natural Law party, which that quiz said I'd be most
compatible with. Bleh. I'm a Libertarian, dammit.

Gore flunked out of divinity school, he also bailed out of law school. He
also smoked marijuana, hasish, and laced it with opium. He enven smoked
during his first campaign.
DUI is a misdemeanor, use of the above are felonies in most states.
Now, admitedly, Bush didn't come out and say "Hey everybody! I do have a DUI
conviction!" But most people wouldn't come out and say it. When asked, he
told reporteres "I did not have a perfect record in my youth." This is as
much as saying yes, but not giving details.

Bru, you got proof of those accusations, right?
Anyway, Bush was grounded by the Air Force for refusing to take a medical
exam... one which featured a recently-added drug test.

Really? The story I heard was that the unit in Alabama flew a different
plane, one he wasn't qualified in. Of course, that was also about the time
he stopped going to drills, so we'll probably never the ultimate cause of
his failure to complete his Reserve duty. (The article I read over the
summer said that he *tried* to cram a year's worth of drills into a month
or two, after returning to Texas and just before asking for early release.)

The other question is that the record of his DUI was expunged. If it was
expunged, do you have to admit that it occured? When you fill out a form that
asks "Have you ever been arrested?" can yu LEGALLY say no?
Is the release of an expunged record a criminal act?

I thought expunged meant the record didn't exist any more.
