That is BS in my opinion. So someone who wants single-payer health care can agree 100% with a social Darwinist on healthcare, as long as they both support weed and don't like mandates.

Thu Jan 26, 2012, 09:51 AM
Jan 2012

And lists stances provided by others that took the poll, plus it lets you write your own stance. On the one question I chose the stance that we should all have Universal Healthcare.

I look at the OP thingy much like that questionnaire everyone took around the time of the 2008 primaries. I sided most with Kucinich but I voted for and supported Obama. Just because this thingy tells me I side with Kent what-his-name doesn't mean I'm going to vote for him.

I'm voting for Barack Obama in 2012. Kent Green-Party is just going to have to deal with it.
