I already know who I side with, so I don't need some website telling me.

96% jary johnson

62% rock anderson, jill stein, mitt romney

54% barack obama.

also hi, im new here.

and i guess i should clarify that 54% obama, im not really ideologically libertarian. more like a utilitarian liberal who thinks more liberty is the right way to go for now. ive been reading the free "economic sophisms" by bastiat on my phone and i definite like alot he has to say so far.

I'm glad it helped me pick a Senate candidate but I wish it included local elections. I've been admittedly lazy with researching them. :(

99% Gary

1% Obammy

I found that a few of the questions lacked a snarky ancap view under "choose another stance", but it does FAR better than most other political quizzes in that regard.

A child becomes an adult when he leaves home and is able to support himself; a freshman becomes a member of the academic community when he figures out how to manipulate the TA...

I sent the link to my TA for my class "intro to college", saying this looks like a useful tool. He asked me whether he could forward it to the entire class and I laughed as I typed out my reply, because THAT WAS MY INTENTION ALL ALONG!!!

Makes you wonder how impartial the quiz is. . .

Either this is a strange quiz or Gary Johnson has strange stances on issues.

My answers were pretty statist all in all (no to illegal immigration, yes to government science funding, no to drilling etc.) and Johnson still came out ahead with 83%. To be fair, Jill Stein came in second at 73%.

Wow.

You know, this is why I've lost pretty much all faith in the Libertarian Party. Konkin was right, it really is just the statist way of convincing people that "liberty is limited government."

Oh yeah, that too.

Isn't it amazing that people as creepy as ~~Darth Vader~~ Charles Krauthammer (who looks Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels all rolled into one) is, he's treated with anything other than contempt and disgust? Since 9/11 it's been like watching the Nazi party unfold before our very eyes.

Don't forget about his position on the whole Kony 2012 BS campaign and his endorsement of "humanitarian wars."

The quiz seems to rank agreement according to which candidates you have the least amount of disagreement with. I clicked on Johnson and his position on drugs was "legalize tax and regulate marijuana" (not eliminating all drug laws); his position on global warming was to "provide incentives" for clean energy (not keeping government out of it altogether); he favored "reforming" medicare (not dismantling it).

Basically, he is the "least offensive" of the 5 candidates.

"What's this 8% Obama agrees with me on, drug legalization or ?"

I think you can click on the candidate and it will tell you what Obama would say on each of the questions vs. what you said.
