I side with Marco Rubio on 98% of issues in the 2016 Presidential election

[nashvillegoldenflash]

I thought I might side with Sen. Ted Cruz the most but after taking the 2016 Presidential election quiz, I found out that I side with Marco Rubio the most. Who do you side with?

I got Rubio with 99%. Makes me really suspicious of the site.

I side with Ted Cruz 100%. Rubio might make a good VP candidate, though.

BBJ, I still intend to vote for Ted Cruz but according to the quiz, I tend to side with Rubio the most. As a free-marketeer and constitutionalist, I believe I answered every question based on conservative principles with the exception of the following question:

Should internet service providers be allowed to give preferential treatment to higher paying customers? On that question, I chose not to answer it because I wasn't sure of the extent of the amount of preferential treatment they were referring to and how that would affect the basic service to Internet users. If the question was, should the Federal Communication Commission be allowed to oversee Internet accessibility for all consumers, without any "fast lanes" for Internet service providers to give preferential treatment to higher-paying customers?, I would have answered no because I, like Ted Cruz, am against the government regulating the Internet. I haven't kept up with this issue like I should have and because of this I just decided not to answer it without further clarifications. Now that I understand it better, I would have answered yes to the question, should Internet service providers be allowed to give preferential treatment to higher paying customers?

Yikes I got Rubio too. That poll has got to be crap.

I ended up with Bernie Sanders at 72% and Mike Huckabee at 70%.

Not surprising, as I'm pretty much in the center on most issues.

RaiderDoug, since Bernie Sanders is an admitted socialist, do you consider socialism the center of the political continuum?

Probably not.

My comment was more meant that I seemed to get a republican and a democrat with almost equal values, I find that both sides have good things and bad, and not necessarily an alignment with any particular candidate.


I seemed to get most of my Bernie Sanders points from his stance on the environment and immigration, not necessarily his social/domestic policies - which is where you'd think the whole "socialist" thing would come into play.

The "Republicans" should change their initials from GOP to FWP for Foreign Worker Party. With the class of corporate shill clowns they are throwing out there looking to send more American Workers to the wale-fare line, they make socialism look more appealing to the average american every day.

Flash, what did you think about Trump's announcement yesterday? Think he'll gain any traction?

 

[MidTnBlues]

Bernie is not a "socialist"; he considers himself a social democrat and there is a difference between socialism and a social democracy. Socialism is about collective ownership of the means of production and a social democracy means you acknowledge that the free market fails to automatically take into account certain goals your society might value. A social democracy combines capitalist mode of production with the belief that society should protect all its members from economic and social need.

FDR is a prime example of a social democrat ( New Deal, unemployment insurance, and Social Security), and it seems that Bernie tends to lean towards FDR's ideals. FDR felt that the free market failed to provide the country with basic economic security, or a decent job at a decent wage and felt that fair distribution of buying power contributes to a strong economy. Bernie also shares FDR's views on monopolies which you can get an idea here on how FDR addressed curbing monopolies.

No, because Trump is the most disliked Republican candidate (click web address below).

I tend to agree with that. Also, notice how Trump never explains "how" he'll accomplish his lofty promises!
