I wonder if this works...
Presidential Candidate Poll - Pick your choice for the 2000 Presidential candidate and give your opinion on ten important issues.

Victor Galis posted 06-04-99 09:36 PM ET
Excellent the Green Party is supported by 2.6% of poll takers.
My scores on the political quiz: 40/40
Spoe posted 06-04-99 09:44 PM ET
Never muchlikes this on:
Scored 70/40, which puts me on the border between left liberal and moderate. Not sure you'd guess that from the socialism threads, eh?
Victor Galis posted 06-04-99 09:50 PM ET
I don't read those much anymore. Though I did see myself as Left-Liberal not so long ago. My 40/40 is well under the 72/42 of the average Green Partyer.

Moderate. My philosophy agrees more with Authoritarians, though.
Koshko posted 06-04-99 11:24 PM ET
50/60 Moderate
This means that I find Liberals and Conservatives equally annoying.
Q Cubed posted 06-04-99 11:50 PM ET
Moderate.
But my philosophy is all over the board.
Which means, I am above it or below it, past it and before it.
Too bad it's not 3 dimensional.

Your Personal Self-Government Score is 100%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 0%.
I am a Left Liberal. About what I expected. Shame I don't get a vote because I'm from the UK.

100% 100% Always knew I was a libertarian.
DOn't want to go back the site now but who was responsible for the quiz? Given the high percentage for the Libertarians could it have been them? Hmmmm.

Who is Steve Forbes anyway? I've never heard of him.
Noisy

Son of Malcom Forbes, founder of Forbes magazine.
Ran in 1996 and had a fair to middling following. Big plank was privatizing Social Security.

"Big plank was privatizing Social Security."
Wasn't his big plank a Flat Tax?
Kefaed posted 06-08-99 12:12 AM ET
Both were, IIRC. Damn shame he didn't win.
I've turned out libertarian. Funny, I thought I'd be more conservative...
Victor Galis posted 06-08-99 04:53 PM ET
What!? If Forbes had won, this country would be screwed.
walruskkkch posted 06-08-99 05:05 PM ET
You mean instead of the White House Interns?
Valtyr posted 06-08-99 05:11 PM ET
I think one is preferable to the other, walruskkkch .

*snort* It pegged me as a Libertarian, too. I admit that if you hit me on the /right/ issues that makes sense, but I am overall definitely a moderate (though I used to be a screaming liberal, heh). I was wondering about the tons of ads for Libertarian stuff greeting this. Did those getting other categories get those? I bet not.
I think it would be /interesting/ if Forbes ended up as President, but I wouldn't vote for him. I sort of like the flat tax idea, provided it still involves a deduction system, but it's the /only/ thing he has going for him. I wouldn't vote for him. Probably.
I vote for anyone who is neither a Demopublican or a Republicrat, as a general rule, with a few exceptions for particular candidates (and when I don't have another choice). And I'm a rabid voter.
Ronbo posted 06-09-99 01:36 AM ET
90%/90%. Big Surprise as I am already registered as a Libertarian.
The 1996 version of Forbes was intriguing, but the 2000 version sounds scary, considering his aggressive attmepts to ingratiate himself with the religious right.
The last time I voted for a "big party" candidate was in 1988. I have voted Libertarian since then, since the Democratic Party's fiscal views repulse me, and the GOP's social views (at least from the right wing of the party) nauseate me. There are a few libertarians in each party (much more so in the GOP than with the Democrats), and I would support them if they ran in my district. Unfortunately, my district is so solidly Democratic that my congressman doesn't even campaign any more, as he has no opposition...
walruskkkch posted 06-09-99 11:56 AM ET
Ah, but which Valtyr?
HolyWarrior posted 06-10-99 01:23 AM ET
Hmm, I came out 60/60
and I'm supposed to be a social conservative...
Kefaed posted 06-10-99 08:14 PM ET
I think Forbes would've made a good president, though I'd say Bush is a good choice, considering I haven't heard Forbes' new platform.
HolyWarrior posted 06-15-99 10:48 PM ET
Anyone but Gore is a good choice.
4Horses posted 06-15-99 11:09 PM ET
60/50 Moderate
I picked Forbes because he wants to do away with income tax.
El Presidente posted 06-15-99 11:58 PM ET
Personal Self-Government Score is 90%.
Economic Self-Government Score is 80%.
political philosophy: libertarian
Victor: If Forbes had won the country would be fine. If Pat B. had won, the country would be screwed.
El Presidente posted 06-16-99 12:12 AM ET
Also, what are the Internet and Natural Law parties? I've never heard of either of them...
Victor Galis posted 06-16-99 11:05 PM ET
Forbes tax reform would have expanded the deficit. To get around this he would cut programs. I'm sure this can be done, but I don't trust a Republican to do it.

Looks like i am a moderate. To bad i can't vote yet.
Sethito posted 06-16-99 11:36 PM ET
