LOL. Gary Johnson.

Don't really care for the questions. They seem a bit slanted. Maybe because of the small number of possible answers.

That poll gave me a Johnson.

Unfortunately, the answers to most of the questions had a "yeah but" in my mind.

Like:
What should be the federal government's role in marriage?
A)The federal government should define marriage to provide a cohesive role across the nation.
B) Marriage is not a power granted to the federal government and is therefore left to the states.

The federal government needs either a working definition of marriage or to stop providing any and all marital benefits/detriments. (Example; see Wolfle v. United States) The fact that a gay couple can get legally married in NY, IA, et al and NOT have the US government recognize it is complete and utter bullshiat.

Highest: Johnson
Lowest: Santorum

Overall analysis of survey: many questions do not have exhaustive response choices, and as such may not have an answer for respondents. That being said, the field of Republican candidates doesn't adequately represent all voters, so there's that.

54% Gary Johnson. Wasn't aware he was even still in the race.

19% Bachmann and 15% Perry. I guess it's good to know I am still sane.

i think i was roughly 55-60% Romney and Huntsman. But i disagreed with them on almost everything except for immigration. However, since I agreed for laws at the federal level, it counted that as at least agreeing with them once on almost every question. Lame.

I think Mitt has changed his position on most everything since this poll was created.

The marriage and the abortion questions are poorly worded.

Marriage, for example, you can choose either

"The federal government should define marriage to provide a cohesive role across the nation"

and

"Marriage is not a power granted to the federal government and is therefore left to the states"

but not

"The Constitution provides that the Federal government ensures full faith and credit to be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings, of every other state; and the legislature shall, by general laws, prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings, shall be proved, and the effect which judgments, obtained in one state, shall have in another"...

which is kind of a third option.

He's not. Not in the Republican race anyway...
He quit the GOP campaign and is trying to run as the Libertarian Party candidate.

I think the answers were so limited because of they were based on the positions of the candidates rather than what people were likely to want to say.

/Got Santorum, by putting in what disgusts me most about Republican politics right now.

Morbid curiosity had me take this.

Johnston or whatever his name is was 50% and RON PAUL was 46%

I almost stopped though at question #2...

Should the federal government regulate abortion, or should it be left to the states?

My answer of "why the fark is government even involved in this" was not there.

hubiestubert: Johnson and Roemer. No real surprise there.

Johnson would've almost been a perfect match for me, but (a) I believe in science and (b) I'm apparently a bit of a hawk.

If you just answer yes to every question you get 88% Mittens.

For extra bonus fun, I changed 2 or 3 answers I was on the fence about (could go either way). One of them, for example, was the "waiting time" for getting a gun. I don't see why someone would need a gun NOW, but I'm not exactly against it, either. Comes with being a redneck, I guess...

My results were now:

Johnson
RON PAUL
Santorum!??!?!?!?

He's going to be the candidate. Everyone has known that for a year, or at least since whenever they started believing Gov. Christie's denials.

I'm more interested in who you get if you answer 'no' to every question. Someone want to try it? The article is blocked from my job.

I feel a bit dirty from the first two. Also, I'm pretty sure that Romney flipped on most of the things that we agreed on.

It gave me a tie between Newt and Mittens, with Santorum dead last. Sounds about right, if I were inclined to vote for a GOP candidate, I'd see Mittens as the best of them, or at least the least bad of them.

If I'd actually been able to give accurate answers to the questions instead of "pick the best of this stupid list" it would probably be lower (though I expect Johnson would still be at the top).

Why is "do you believe in the existence of global warming" a question? Why not "do you believe the earth is more than 6000 years old" or "do you believe the earth is round"?

This country has lost the battle against voluntary retardation.
