Dangerous Resource

My friend sent me this Survey to see "which candidate should you vote for?" After filling out the survey with the answers that I support, which happen to also be Ron Paul's platform, I was astounded to see that I only had about a 40% match with Ron Paul... and my top 2 candidates were Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee!

After browsing through the candidates "answers" regarding the issues. I found that many of Ron Paul's supposed answers were contradictory to his voting record and his platform.. After looking at the utterly false "Ron Paul's answers" section I browsed over the the "Ron Paul's Stances" section. Where the information was more accurate, and directly contradictory to his "answers" section on the same website!

The site is at:

Warn people about the invalidity of this survey!

This quiz was woefully

This quiz was woefully stupid. Some questions and answer responses demanded a response that precludes any real libertarian/small govt answer. I suspect that these ppl have a serious liberal agenda. I agree with RP 80%, but according to this piece of shit I only match up 60%, which still put RP at number 1, but Alan Keyes at a close second, and I hate that crazy fucker.

I can know of no greater functional movement than a 600lb deadlift. Except a 700lb deadlift. Cuz when you are that strong, it's functional.

wonder who designed it?

somebody paid to have it written and ikt seems to definitely have an agenda besides truth.

My sister took this one

and it took me 5 minutes to turn her around again. It actually told her to vote for Rudy. I had to explain that Rudy=police state and more wars. It gave me a chance to give her more information on RP, now she is a solid RP vote.

The website is obviously

The website is obviously still incredibly biased and geared toward endorsing particular candidates... most of the questions are tainted anyway, but when you put up false information as with many of Ron Paul's supposed answers... It obviously becomes an agent of agenda.

BTW. Good job bringing your sister into the fold!

Ron Paul came in first for

Ron Paul came in first for me but I had to put no opinion on quite a few things as the answer was a lot more complex than yes or no.

Yeah, thats about the only

Yeah, thats about the only way you're going to get a legitimate answer is by leaving many of those blank... some of them that appear to be wrong are right and some that appear to be right are wrong.

For example "More Federal Funding For Health Coverage" says that Ron Paul "Strongly Approves!" which is utterly ridiculous if you know RP.

Health Coverage...?

It does!!!!

I strongly opposed that one too! I thought that one was an obvious no.
