(13,933 posts)But since Kent Mesplay has the same chance of being elected as I do, I guess I'll stick with Barack.

(24,331 posts)I believe that this is a Paulbot site, designed to shove true liberals off to the "green" side while pimping for Paul.

(62,269 posts)The results are unusual, I think, but I don't think this is a Paulbot site by any stretch.

(29,047 posts)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.
blogslut
(37,997 posts)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.
