A fmr student sent out a mass email for people to get involved with voting (can you tell she was prob a favorite--but the more I think about it, the more they were all favorites, in one way or another...uh-oh, I think I might be getting the teaching bug. It's just all the excitement of Spet. As my friends start kvetching in November, I'll be over it...)
Anyway, here is the web address that allows you to match up your issues with the candidates:

I got an 85% match with....
Nader.
Been there, done that. Won't be wasting my vote on that megalomaniac again.
But it was fun nonetheless.
I got 75% for Nader. But almost 70% for Obama. Lowest was McCain at 36%. I expect my biggest difference with Nader was on the death penalty, because I totally support it, and think it should be used more often than it is. Oh, and while I don't support "No Child Left Behind" because it's a total waste of resources, I also do not agree with school vouchers. JMHO.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I got 83% Nader, 78% Obama, and only 27% McCain. I'm a little surprised by the degree, but not so much by the order. Like you though, Nader is a no go for me for various reasons.
ReplyDeleteI got 86%^ Nader but i think i might just take a shit in the ballot box this year, is that an option?
