http://www.politicalcompass.org/usprimaries2007 For those of you in the US like myself or anyone else who is interested. That shows the nominees for the upcoming election and an approximation of where they would be on here. Ironically, I had to do a report for my government class last week about a nominee, my partner through out Ron Paul. I didn't really know anything about him, but we decided to do him. After doing the research I realized I liked him a lot, and after looking at this and my results I am almost dead-on with him. |

US candidates have always been slightly authoritarian. I doubt that Kenendy would've been to the south of the 0 line. |

John Edwards seems to be the lesser evil. I'd probably vote for him. |

I like how I'm no-where near the most politically liberal guy on the board. Me. The guy who protests. Remind me to run in the opposite direction if I ever see Wadj wearing a Guy Falks mask. :ph43r: |

He has no problem. And he also has no benefit. That's his problem. He's nothing. |

He's a Demopublican. Notice how he was right in that clusterfuck? He'll only hold the interests of the Demopublican Party. Posted Image Edited by Comrade Queen, Aug 13 2010, 04:27 PM.

So you're saying we should vote for big business rather than the middle road centralist candidate, because the centralists won't rock the status quo. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that, you know, the point of centralists? I have no idea what Ron Paul's policies are... but when we have two dollars to the pound (not to mention this) the big business candidate is not the one I'd be voting for. Frodo. Return to centre. Which, you know, is STILL right wing. |

Ron Paul is not the big business candidate. He has, throughout his tenure, fought for a economic sense and tried to prevent the decline of the dollar. |

I sure as hell won't vote for Ron Paul though. The fact that he's basically a large bird flip against the government can't convince me by itself, and his being so extreme almost automatically puts him at odds with my own philosophies, so whatever. As for John Edwards, meh. If he won I wouldn't care one way or another because I haven't been able to form an opinion about him. That said, I'd be hugely disappointed in the election because of lack of entertainment. Hilary. No. Just...no. Bill would be far more constructive by helping out people Carter style than supporting her in her election. Meh. The political extremists will lambast me for this I know, but I still have faith in Obama. Don't ask me why...its a gut feeling. I'm not touching the rest of he Republican candidates with a 30 foot pole, simply because I still don't know who the final nominees are (and spare me who you think they will be...I don't care yet). Thus far, only the Baptist minister seems to be of interest, and even then only a passing one. EDIT- As a centrist, I'd first like for the end the hyper-partisan shit because trying to do anything in that atmosphere is essentially pointless so long as you have that much poison in the air. Even if you accomplish something, the guy from the other side of the aisle will make it his duty in life to destroy it, thus making all the effort moot. |

Yeah... somewhere, something is buggy. Because you don't get that far right on the political compass without completely disagreeing with protectionism, market control and fighting inflation. If I could vote, I'd vote based on policies and nothing else. Seeing as I don't know any policies and have only the compass to go on... I'd vote for Edwards. |

As Quaon's stated, Ron is not a big business candidate. He's in fact, tried to fight for the economy where he votes against anything considered a waste of money (which, btw is the cause of the dollar decline—spending too fucking much of it!) and other things that blatantly ignore and/or contradict the U.S. Constitution. The Demopublicans are not centrists by any stretch of the imagination. They are the ACTUAL big business money-wasters that're wrecking the American economy. No good can come from any of them. And hippies? They waste too much money with their pet charity projects that they try to write into the Constitution. |

As I said: know nothing about each candidates policies. But you need someone to reel in spending, address social issues, for the love of god fix Nawlins and protect your civil rights. Whatever candidate does that, would get my hypothetical vote. Failing that, going purely by the compass (what I know about the test and assuming that the results posted by Paradise are an accurate indicator of policy) then I'd vote Edwards and murder Ron with a shovel. If what the Ron fan-boys are saying is accurate, I'd probably vote for him. |

Ron Paul certainly isn't a big business candidate. He proposes to get rid of all the corporate welfare payments the government makes out to big business. That's partly the reason why all the big media conglomerates are united in censoring Ron Paul from the mainstream media. Remember, Ron Paul is a libertarian, not a big-business state capitalist along the lines of Mussolini or the Bush/Clinton Administrations. The current center, the status quo, is intolerably similar to fascist Italy. The other reason the media is blacking out Ron Paul is because he wants to pursue an isolationist foreign policy - including cutting off aid for Israel - thus scaring the shit out of the media owners (Rupert Murdoch of "The Sun", etc.) who are uniformly Zionist. If you want a true big business candidate, vote for a status quo candidate like John Edwards who has given untold billions of citizen's hard earned tax dollars to his state's tobacco companies. |
