2008 Presidential Candidate Matching Quiz

Uh... who? Also, no wonder I can't choose who to vote for. Seems the only viable candidates at this point are Edwards, Obama, and Clinton for the dems, and Romney, Huckabee, McCain, and possibly Giuliani for the reps. I can't vote for a fundie like Romney or Huckabee, Edwards has a bit of a greasy trial-lawyer vibe to him, and Clinton seems like more of the same. Anyone is better than Bush, but I'm going to have to say it's Obama or McCain for me. I am liking Obama more and more lately, and I could live with McCain, which is more than I can say for the other two Republican front-runners.

When an argument started on a forum I frequent about politics, I typed this up as my reply:

All politicians are basically the same---power-hungry wolves who form packs to fight each other while oppressing the people they are sworn to represent. If they aren't telling you where you can and can't pray, who you can or can't hire, or what kind of guns you can or can't buy, they are telling you what kind of video games you can or can't play, who you can or can't marry, or what you can and can't do with your own body. The Republicans are just as guilty as the Democrats, and most of the minor parties are full of unrealistic, weak-minded idealists who would succumb to the wiles of more seasoned politicians if they were ever elected.

Looking back on it, I realize it might be a tad cynical, but this is really what I feel about our government these days. I can't stand most candidates; all of them seem to have a stance on at least one issue that is just so off-putting that I would feel dirty if I voted for them.
