i'm only 88% bush. damn, must be my surprisingly liberal social views.

Well, if that electoral predictor is true, looks like you'll have another four years to have those liberal views, Papa.......

I was only 75% Kerry, Papa. It must be Republicanesque economic views.

Why at the end are crime and education lumped together? Is it a crime to get an education?

80% Kerry

I matched best with Kucinich at 78%. So much for my options.

Haha my best match was Kucinich at 71%, Kerry at 68%, and Bush at 22%

I was only 81% Kerry...but 87% Kucinich.

About 75% Bush...eep.

Actually, some of the questions we worded in a confusing way, for about 3 of them, I had to just say "no opinion."

I guess it's the social stuff that doesn't make me a total Republican.

this is the second time around for this poll. it made the rounds early this year in time for the democratic primaries and at that time i circulated it among my friends (of whom there are a lot more democrats than republicans). time after time they emailed me back to tell me that although kucinich represented their views that they could not support him as he "couldn't win."

87 Kucinich, 82 Kerry, 3 Bush.
Hmm...wonder who I will vote for...

y'know folks, it's not too late for the torricelli option...i think dennis would make a stunning candidate!

Posted: 8/31/04 at 2:15pm

papa - the Democrats proved this go round that having a perspective and running based on it is not their priority. It's always kind of been that way, but this time they went absolutely over the edge with it. When Clark and Dean were summarily dismissed out of hand, it was obvious that the only thing they were interested in was winning, and their strategy has been to be 'not Bush.' Well, when at least half the population is at least moderately satisfied with him, that really doesn't leave you anywhere to go. It's a sad state of reality when the presented candidate might as well have the name 'instead of.'

I'm pissed I got 2 percent for Bush. What did I do wrong?

Lady, it doesn't surprise me you got a lean toward Kerry. It's illustrative of a problem moderate Republicans are facing this year. The platform and candidate have moved too far away from what many moderate Republicans believe.

this won't come up on my computer -- must not be able to get past our firewall -- I am intrigues and will have to try it tonight....

Posted: 8/31/04 at 2:26pm

What the HELL is economy and environment doing in the same sentence? I mean, really.

And Zola, I didn't really lean toward Kerry...my Bush #s were just not as strong as I would have liked them to be. My Kerry number was much less than my Bush number...but not 2% or anything! Updated On: 8/31/04 at 02:26 PM

Guenevere.....How can you support Margaret Cho and BUSH in the same signature? What a contradiction you are.

[LadyGuenevere]

Posted: 8/31/04 at 2:42pm

Oy vey. Will I have to go into this again?

I am a Log Cabin Republican (fine, Jewish Nazi, you might understand that term since everyone loves it) and I support gay marriage. Many of my friends are gay. I do NOT support Margaret Cho's political views, but I liked that line, since I agree with that. Do I agree with her Bush-bashing? NO.

I support Bush with most of his political views. Except the gay marriage (and I am for arts funding as well).

If I am a contradiction if I find what a Democrat says funny, or if I support gay marriage, yet I still am conservative in numbers of ways, fine. Do you suggest that I stop watching Broadway shows- and maybe I'll just stop enjoying Avenue Q while I'm at it...I mean, really. Updated On: 8/31/04 at 02:42 PM

Wow - I got 66% for both Kerry and Kucinich. Hmmmm....

[M J R]

Posted: 8/31/04 at 4:10pm

I think Log Cabins are probably the WORST kind of Republicans there are....for exactly the wishy-washyness you mention. I have much more respect for someone who takes a REAL stand on WHATEVER they believe...not ride the fence.

[Millie42]

Posted: 8/31/04 at 5:01pm

Wow. Way to be rude.

Apparently taking a "real" stand means blindly following because I highly doubt most people agree with either party 100% of the time. You cant ignore points of disagreement. You have to work to change them.
Given that this country only has two viable parties (election-wise) it doesnt seem like LG has that many options to choose from! She probably feels that until there is a Log Cabin candidate capable of earning the votes to win an office, her vote is better off with the 1 or 2 parties she is most compatible with.

Really hun, and who would that be? You have no idea what you're talking about. The Log Cabin's are not a separate political party - they are republicans. And to identify yourself as gay AND republican is something that I, personally, cannot reconcile. And those who can justify both, at least the one's I'VE MET, are usually a little insane.
