+1, furthest from Obama.  My girlfriend doesn't understand why Obama is a bad choice and plans to vote on him "because he seems the most qualified"

You need to get her ass too drunk to vote come election day, then sneak your ass out so that your vote counts twice as much.

Is this website independent?
Yes, the content is made by Kieskompas BV, an independent company. The Electoral Compass uses scientific methods to position the candidates, without favouring any of them. The political positions of every candidate are completely transparent and can be checked by every user. Simply click on any candidate in the graph and you will see all documentation for every single position.


Yeah, well I checked and the conclusions are erroneous (unless weighted in some hidden manner)

BULLSHIT SITE!!!

Closest to Ron Paul, furthest from Obama.

But next to RP on the republican side, I am closest to Rudy Giuliani.  WTF?

I notice Duncan Hunter isn't on there, another name that pops up for me on many of these things.

The conclusions. I posted the individual percentage matches along with the average, and that did not agree with their "prediction" that my views coincided with Romney. I have no doubt that as the year progresses we will see more self-described "independent" websites popping up with "unbiased calculations" to tell you which candidate is aligned most closely with your views. With this site, that is not the case. Mind you, it is not grossly off (YOU ARE A HILLARY SUPPORTER!!!) but I have little doubt that shill sites would steer people towards a candidate who (the opposition feels) might be most vulnerable. Remember that Soros et all are still out there with billions ready to buy an election any way they can.

Plus I don't trust the Dutch. Sorry DK_Prof.

The site seems pretty spot on to me.  I have always been a moderate conservative, and this site puts me close to Giuliani and McCain.  I don't like Giuliani's views on gun control, and I don't like McCain's views on immigration.

Decisions. Decisions.

Possible political bias of the wording aside; it was a sovereign nation with a recognized government. To send troops to it constitutes an invasion.
