A Candidate Calculator

On the VAJoe.com web site I took the candidate calculator questionnaire which gauges how close you come to a presidential candidates stance on issues. Below is who I match closely with. I suggest the reader take the questionnaire too.

Mitt Romney (R) 89.66% match
Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R) 89.66% No amnesty for illegals.
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) 89.66% No amnesty for illegals, and no IRS.
Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R) 86.21%
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R) 86.21%
Businessman John Cox (R) 72.41%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) 72.41%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) 72.41% Wants the FairTax.
Arizona Senator John McCain (R) 72.41%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) 62.07%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) 34.48% Say what? This is Oprah's candidate.
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) 31.03%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) 31.03% Egad, no!
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D) 31.03%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) 31.03%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) 24.14%
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) 13.79%
Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich (D) 6.90%

John Cox calls himself a Progressive Conservative. He believes in "solutions that use the free markets, competition and the human drive to solve problems that government cannot." He is a CPA and investment specialist. On issues he is pro-life, fiscal conservative (original member of the Club for Growth), wants a strong military, and is in favor of the FairTax. Nothing specific about the War on Terror.

Ron Paul is not bad. He wants to get rid of the IRS too like Fred Thompson and is for home schooling. He's naive about the War on Terror though.
