Ok, I have no idea how I managed to get this! I mean, John McCain in my top two? I'm not so sure about that quiz because the saliency of the issues I did not agree with him on were weighted heavily. And how does Huckabee even get that high on my list? I despise Huckabee's policy platform with a burning passion. Thank gosh he's not in the race anymore. :>

...I left two questions blank, and they simply seemed to leave the potential 15 points or whatever off the top...maybe if I had jumped for yes or no on the two ones that seemed to have only absolute answers I would have matched more with people...

Welcome to my side.... at least briefly.

[liveonearth.livejournal.com]

I really like Bill Richardson. How Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee are only 1% apart makes me wonder.....about the quiz, too...seriously now folks.

[liveonearth.livejournal.com]

Which side are you on?

[gavin6942.livejournal.com]

The Kucinich side. :)

[liveonearth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. That's not temporary. He was my candidate in the last presidential election....makes me proud with his impeachment effort.

[gavin6942.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. It's going to be quietly killed like his last attempt and will probably hurt him politically in the fall, but he made a bold stand that someone had to do.

It's a sad thing that "impeachment" is seen as a drastic measure when it should be considered a standard procedure of politics. Europeans (and others ) have no problem voting "no-confidence" on their leaders, but Americans seem to think the president is untouchable.

To impeach our president would be to admit our imperfection to the world. We can't do that. Yet. Maybe we'll grow up eventually.

Well said.
