I am 78% with Hillary Clinton and 73% with Bernie Sanders

I'm still a hard core Bernie Sanders supporter. Gotta go with who I think will be best for the country.

Pragmatism. It works to elect the lesser of 2 evils. In my current opinion, I am done with it.

...after dinner. Which one of them will rise to help you do the dishes?

Carry on.

I am among those who will never forget his prominent role in the confirmation of the worst US Supreme Court justice ever: Clarence Thomas.

Biden also voted FOR the IWR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Resolution#United_States_Senate). So if you hold Hillary's IWR vote against her, you should also hold it against Biden.

Although I don't really believe that Biden has a prayer in 2016 (he hasn't given any serious sign that he will even enter the race), and I truly do not believe that he is anywhere near the foreign policy "expert" that many believe he is, if he does by some miracle become the Dem nominee in 2016, I will support him - just as I will support whoever becomes that nominee.

with Hillary, Biden, and surprisingly Webb in the 80s.

Basically this quiz is "are you liberal" vs. "are you an asshole"

It was pretty straight forward.

For example, that question about Social Security.

The two non "no opinion" choices-- one included raising the age for qualifying for SS, while the other included considering privatization.

Pfffffft

Hypothetical scenario...

Imagine someone knocks on your door and you answer. They have a stick in their hand and say "Would you rather I shove the left end of this stick up your ass or the right end?". Do you take a look at it and say "left end please" then drop your pants and bend over?


Id rather do everything I could to take that stupid stick away and not got fucked by either end.
