81% Stewart Alexander (who?)

39% Ron Paul

25% Mitt Romney (wait, I agree with Ron Paul more than Romney? WTF? Didn't expect it to be this low)

95% Ron Paul. I'm guessing I only differ with him slightly on Foreign Policy. 93% Libertarian. I feel bad for you green partiers. Cynthia "Caught red-handed aiding Palistinians" McKinney? Really?

I gotta say that reading through these responses, there seems to be some inconsistency in the findings for the percentages on state and national numbers. Some of them just don't add up.

Who?

Apparently I side with the Green Party. WTF? I probably do agree on a lot of points, but the focus of my concern is probably not the same as their's. The environment is hardly my key issue.

I also find it very interesting how some people on this board will be really close to the same for siding with Rep and Lib with a low score for Dem, and others will have very similar scores for Dem and Lib with a low score for Rep.

I 100% agree with this.

If this happened, I'd be elected......and be the first president on live broadcast with a 30 second delay by the FCC....But I won't go into that rant.

This does show that for the most part(aside from the major party issues) both sides are in agreement.........yet not much gets done......

92% Ron Paul
92% Gary Johnson
85% Mittens - that was a surprise, and I'm not convinced
4% Obama

I don't think it identified me with any of the other candidates at all. Overall the results were what I expected, though I don't think that much of Romney.

96% Romney (more than I suspected, but not surprising)
85% Virgil Goode (who?)
85% Ron Paul
12% Obama

96% Republican
82% Libertarian

I do think the questionnaire was lacking in fullness...

I took this yesterday, I think I was 85% Jill Stein, 81% Obama, 76% Johnson, 60-something% Paul, and 20-ish% Mittens. Not too surprised by that, as I consider myself a moderate Libertarian, and the GOP has gone berkeleynuts crazy over the course of the past Dozen years or so. I think most of the people here who are getting Stein as #1 are just pro-science and rational thought, and she's the only candidate who seems to consistently acknowledge such things in her positions. I like a lot of Johnson's positions, but someone needs to remind him that states' rights can't trump human rights (and also remind all libertarians that there is a point past which the limitation of government produces less liberty rather than more, because we end up with a government that is unable to protect those citizens whose rights are violated by others).

It said I'm more of a Libertarian, then Green, Republican, Democrat. It also gives me Gary Johnson at top. Interestingly, it put Jimmy McMillan above Obama and Romney. Does than mean I should grow out his beard style, wear black gloves, and start complaining about rent?

Gary Johnson 86%(is it wrong that I've never heard of him?)

(shrug) He was in the first few rounds of the debates. Very logical, straightforward dude. He made a pretty funny jab at that mouthbreather Rick Perry. I really liked him, but the libertarian party needs to find someone who's not a whiney pu$$y or borderline whack-job as their poster boy. Maybe we're just all berkeleying crazy though.

FWIW, I voted for Newt in the primary. He would have absolutely berkeleying destroyed Obama in the debates.

Barack Obama - 30%

Kentucky Voters - 80%

American Voters - 87%

Rep - 96%

Lib - 82%

In general, not too surprised by this. Now, if everyone just thought they way I do, everything would be great!

What's funny is, I got 82% Obama, 76% each Johnson and Ron Paul, 71% Romney... and I'm with 91% of American voters (and 95% of Ohio)

Either something adds up to way more than 100%, or we've got a whole John Jackson/Jack Johnson thing going on here.

Agreed. I saw him in the first debate and really liked him. But I knew he would get no where. Too logical and not enough of a "fall on one side or another" kind of guy to get voted in.

That's what I'm talking about. It doesn't add up.

I think it IS because you have a John Jackson/Jack Johnson thing going on, there's a lot of overlap that makes it possible to get these weird numbers.

Mittens 96% (WTF?!?!) Johnson 90% Paul 82% Obama 57%(enviroment only? I said more drilling shiny happy people) 97% of Hoosiers 88% of America

96% Ivory Producers(yes, lift ban on hunting elephants....I need new ivory grips for my Colt) 86% The party that keeps getting shot down 57% Jackasses(they are donkeys, right?) 43% Communists(isn't that what the green party is?)

Honestly, I identify as an independent and will vote for whomever seems right for the job......generally, in years past, it seemed like one cantidate wanted to be in office just to be there, and the other just wanted to be of service to the nation. This hasn't been strictly to party lines either. Leave parties out of it and vote for who actually wants to help.

<------Also sick of negative attack ads......leave my tv, newspapers, email, facebook, doorbell, and radio ALONE!!!!!!!!!!
