Well McCain isn't doing it for me, because of his votes on various issues, though I've decided I could vote for him if he's the nominee.

Romney, well as I've said, I'd like to like him, but I don't. Too smarmy and he's like the right's John Edwards with hair and all.

Here were my results:

83% John McCain 82% Mitt Romney 77% Fred Thompson 75% Mike Huckabee 67% Tom Tancredo 63% Ron Paul 61% Rudy Giuliani 52% Bill Richardson 43% Hillary Clinton 40% Barack Obama 40% Chris Dodd 39% John Edwards 29% Joe Biden 29% Mike Gravel 24% Dennis Kucinich <a href="http://www.gotoquiz.com/candidates/2008-quiz.html">2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz</a>

Social I'm a quasi liberal, against discrimination, for pro life.

Economically, I'm capitalist-it's our crossover. ;)

Internationally, I'm for carrying a big stick and using it when the situation warrants.

my personal socail views are conservative but with respect to how i view or if i would legislate social issues the answer is no.....i don't think the govt. should legislate social issues.....as i have said if it is not an economic, infrastructure or international issue the govt should stay out of it.....

Basically for the social issues, should be determined by states, not fed. IMO

I'd assume that IL, as currently politically determined, would allow abortions, perhaps even 3rd trimester.

abortion is a social issue and it should be neither illegal or legal....it is a medical procedure that a doctor can provide or not...same as a DNR or assisted suicide....they are social issues....govt should not be involved....

Unless you believe that abortion is homicide. Kind of difficult to argue that government should ignore all homicides.

I wasn't implying that you said either of those things.

However, if you think that abortion isn't homicide, it follows logically that you don't believe a fetus to be a human being.

a fetus is a human being ...... just don't see abortion as homicide .... see it as bad choice that the govt. should not legislate ..... i don't see assisted sucide as homicide either .....

If a fetus is a human being, how can abortion NOT be homicide? Your post is self-contradictory.

I really like Chris Dodd as a person, he would be the one I would vote for on the Democratic side.

Everyone knows im for McCain, I don't need to take a poll to tell me who I support. I would like to see Senator McCain take Duncan Hunter as his Vice President and let Hunter handle the Immigration problem. :salute:

I've taken a few of these for the fun of it. This is the first time I've done one where McCain came out on top, probably because too many of the questions were one extreme or the other with little in the middle. Tancredo is usually my number one on these. Of course, as always, Kucinich is last.
