Who do you support?

vote, you scum, vote!
Take this quiz from Glassbooth and see where they put you. Last time I did one of these it told me that Mike Gravel matched my issue beliefs best. This time it said Dennis Kucinich, though Gravel was only a point or two behind.
I wonder a bit about the trustworthiness of these things sometimes, but I suppose that at worst they're at least as trustworthy as anything we get from the News.

Does it seem to most of you out there that people treat politics the way they do entertainment? It would certainly explain a lot. Maybe people need to be convinced to treat politics like a health insurance policy, instead. Sure, they're all lousy (unless you're a politician), but you've got to look carefully and choose the one that meets your needs the best. Picking the one with prettiest brochure isnt going to do you much good at all.

Of course, as the Good Reverend pointed out, it helps to have good health insurance to recognise it.

Well, they pegged me as a Kucinichian. I guess that's right. I do believe in UFOs.

ryanshaunkelly sounds like me several months ago. "Bill Richardson shares a 83% similarity" with me. i have no idea what that means. i think the important part is what would he actually do in office.

Yeah, but while you have no idea what any of them will do in office, I willing to bet that at least half the people who vote for these clowns have no idea just what pies the clowns are throwing or how much of the pie the voters get in their face. The test helps a bit, so that even if you still have no idea what your clown stands for, at least when he hits you with the pie it might at least be a flavor you like.
