Not sure which candidates are on the same page as you? Try this:

Select a Candidate 2008

Please don't start political arguments and get this thrown in the Political/War Lounge, just see what you think and say if you think this works well or not. A lot of members never go to the PL.

And no, I had nothing to do with this, just thought it was neat.

That's a pretty cool website. I like how it filters the results and tells you what each candidate agrees or disagrees with you on.

Doesn't really matter to me since I'm not legally allowed to vote in this country

Good Lord. My "filtered out" candidate is one of my least favorites. I really question how that was put together.

Well at least this time Clinton and Guiliani have tied with 16.

Ron Paul moved up to 30 though.

Numero uno being Mr. Richardson, which I didn't expect but am not entirely surprised by.

I'd say it was pretty much on track for me- the 3 things we disagreed on - I didn't know much about. But the candidates it chose were who I thought.

The questions are slanted; i.e., poorly written!

As an example, on immigration there was no option for those who want to allow it without restriction.

It's possible to be here legally and not a felon and not be able to vote.

Then you shouldn't be allowed to comment on the candidates.

If you're not voting Ron Paul, you're a sorry excuse for an American.

I'm sorry, but he most certainly CAN comment on the candidates. He's entitled to his opinion, even if he can't vote.

My father has opinions on the candidates and he can't vote. Who are you to say who can and can't comment on the candidates?!?!?!??

I'd vote for him in a second if I weren't so annoyed with his non-Libertarian views.

As they should know better, I hold Libertarians to a higher standard.
