Romney all the way!

For the most part, you agree with Romney's ideas. You consider yourself a Republican, and you're ready for the GOP to take back the White House!

I wasn't actually expecting that.  Of course, quiz has a few odd places where you are like, none of those options quite fit.

That's got to be a tough quiz to grade considering how often and how far Romney's positions move

[Martinus]

You lean left.

You might just be a Democrat, or at the very least an independent. You probably agree with most of President Obama's polices, and you understand the importance of government spending and oversight.

[Jacob]

Surprisingly, I'm a lefty and I won't be voting for Romney... which is very true!

When I saw the option re: China "Just nuke China already and get it over with" I thought of CdM.

Me too.

Is this some trick question where I am more conservative than massachusetts governor mitt romney, as conservative as olympics administrator mitt romney, less conservative than batshit primary mitt romeny and slightly to the left of presidential candidate mitt romney?

[Razgovory]

I found out that I was less likely to fill out an 18 question test to determine something I already knew.

[DGuller]

I'm both much more conservative and much more liberal than Mitt Romney.

Same result as Martinus.

Sounds right.

Riley had us take a quiz at Vote Smart. As Max said, it's not exactly nuanced, but it's still fun to see where you fall.

I got told to vote for Gary Johnson.

Though all were in a range of 10% from each other except whatever that Constitution party was (same % for Obama and Romney!).

One issue I have with quizzes like that is them updated your % of each candidate after each question could lead people to answer differently for balance.

[mongers]

I don't accept the premiss of the question, I don't think Romney is at all conservative in the sense I know the word to mean, speaking as a one nation Tory; Romney and his corporate raiding ilk have been prepared to tear down any long standing business institution or social compact in the pursuit of short term profits for themselves.

If anything I see them sharing some of the characteristics of the Khmer Rouge, rather than the centre right; And yet plenty of conservatives seem to have convinced themselves these are the guys to be trusted and elected as leaders.

Then this quiz wasn't for you.

Ok, now I'm going to take it for real.

WTF?  This makes no sense at all.  I wasn't trolling it.

Heh. I get 89% Obama, 72% Jill Stein (Green), and 70% Rocky Anderson (Justice??). Only 29% Romney, 23% Virgil Goode (Constitution Party), and 40% Gary Johnson (Libertarian).
