I’ve never considered myself to be very political. I can hold an intelligent conversation on the primary candidates that are vying for their respective parties nomination, but only if I’ve perused cnn.com or msnbc.com about 30 minutes prior. Craig very well versed and breaks it down in layman’s terms about who is in favor or against what and what it all means for us as tax payers. Still, there are times when I feel like I’m back in Pre-Calculus, just trying to understand how we got to the bottom-line. I mean I see what you are saying, but how did we get here?
Thankfully, there are a number of websites that can help. I now know what the hot button issues are and even better, can recall them with some degree of accuracy. I’ve learned that my views skew more in line with someone from the Republican party (hello!) and that I’ve got the makings of a Conservative Libertarian (who knew?!).
When I should have been sleeping (see my previous post on why I’m so tired in the mornings), I went to the Select a Candidate quiz, which is more like a quizzlet. I went to a site that boasts of a quiz to help you pick choose the best 2008 candidate for president. I even went to a site that calls itself the World’s Smallest Political Quiz, and seriously, it is only 10 questions broken down into two 5 question blocks. Nice!
Are you an elephant or a donkey? Who cares! The better question is, which candidate is more in keeping with what is most important to you ? Take the quizzes I listed above and see. The answer may surprise you.
