I side 88% with Mitt Romney

I suppose those are my results and quite frankly they're absolutely wrong considering the one taking the quiz generally has only 5-9 multiple choice positions to take.

I find my political opinions to be more than a single sentence "abc" option. I don't believe an intelligent individuals political view on an issue can be summed up in less than 20 words...

IMO, the calibration on the quiz makes libertarians look like anarchists.

I'm not sure how it could make libertarians look like anarchists, when there are no anarchist candidates for it to suggest.

It seemed to pin me quite correctly, with 98% Gary Johnson.

Fun, but I've heard these are rigged. At least it came down for the candidate I plan to vote for: Romney, 95%; Johnson, 85%; Goode (Who?) 61%. Other Illinois voters: 53%. (How did they know I was from Illinois??)
 
I was 90% with Gary Johnson. Oddly enough though I was more aligned with MA than I was SC.
 
Gary Johnson or Jill Stein? wut?
 
98% Gary Johnson ( I already knew that)
73% Mitt Romney
73% Virgil Goode
65% Barack Obama


sounds about right to me

The provided answers are too one-dimensional for me.

I just chose the closest to what I believe, however some of the answers are not what I believe.

For example - I believe the the notion that I support global intervention via domestic threat is somehow a republican idea - however that doesn't make me a republican - at least not what is presently considered a republican.... I don't believe fight or flight is a political issue.....

LOL Goode is the Constitution Party Candidate. I think it would be so funny if we won because the elite press corps would jump out the window just to keep from having to hear his accent everyday

I'm 88% Romney, 84% Johnson and 24% Obama...

91% republican and (oddly) 68% libertarian, 25% democrat..

I suppose I was not satisfied with the options for the questions - I have/had an alternative answer for 90% of the questions (which I wont to elaborate on because it would be a waste of time).

I think all the issues addressed in the "exam" are certainly relevant and definitely a concern to many, however the issues and their premeditated answers are unfair.

Maybe it's just me but I cannot "somewhat" agree with an issue - I do or I don't - no gray.

Look, if someone want's to go to Taco Bell and I know one has to make a right to do it, I'm not going to say I "somewhat agree" with making a right - I will say "make a right and I strongly agree" so I find such a "1-10" system completely stupid.... Well at least I know my position on the issues and it's not gray.

I side with Mitt Romney on most issues in the 2012 Presidential Election.
Candidates you side with...
92%
Mitt Romney Republican
on domestic policy, environmental, economic, foreign policy, and immigration issues
91%
Gary Johnson Libertarian
on domestic policy, healthcare, environmental, foreign policy, science, and economic issues


1% difference-about the same. But since Gary has no chance of winning Romney is the obvious choice for me

Does anyone else think that Virgil Goode, the constiutional candidate, looks like Saul Goodman, the constitution spitting lawyer, from Breaking Bad?

Better call Saul!

In another such test I am basically 100% Milton Friedman.

We have pretty similar results. Cant say I'm shocked considering I agree with most of your opinions on the issues.
