[Ichingcarpenter]

1. 5/10

I can't tell them apart apparently........




LOL.....

[rock]

2. Certainly not when they're talking prattle

I also got 5/10.

[Dustlawyer]

19. Ditto!

[NM_Birder]

4. I went through and just chose Hillary every time regardles the question.

I got 6 out of ten.

[valerief]

10. Same here. They're like the Olsen Twins of politics. nt

[JackRiddler]

40. Ha! 7 out of 10.

John McCain would never say "raison d'etre." He ain't no Frenchie lover.

[earthside]

3. Hillary Clinton running to the right ...

... of Rand Paul.

If by some miracle Rand Paul got the nomination of the Repuglican Party, and Hillary Clinton is coronated as nominee of the Democratic Party, it looks like Hillary would be running to the right of Paul.

Yup.
That's what American needs ... a presidential contest between a Wall Street libertarian and a Wall Street neocon.

[dsc]

5. sure she would

she is to the right of him on gay rights, no wait that is bullshit. She is to the right of him on abortion, no wait that is bullshit. She is to the right of him on voting rights, no wait that is bullshit. She is to the right of him on climate change, no wait that is bullshit. She is to the right of him on social programs like food stamps, no wait that is bullshit. I could go on but I think I made my point.

[Dawgs]

8. You're arguing who's the least right candidate.

I think that should tell you something.

[A Simple Game]

13. Good point. n/t

[dsc]

14. No I am correcting bullshit

for the record, I have no idea who I am voting for in 2016, I am too busy with 2014. I can see scenarios in which I would vote for Hillary and scenarios in which I wouldn't. Not being psychic, I have no idea which scenario will play out.

[Dawgs]

15. Actually, you didn't correct bullshit. You just gave examples.

You just pointed out where Hillary is more to the left than Rand. I could do the same showing where Rand is more to the left than Hillary on certain issues. And, some of those are pretty big.. like her being more hawkish on war.

[dsc]

16. Go ahead and make your list

I absolutely guarantee that my list will be both longer and more substantive.

[Dawgs]

18. Doesn't matter.

They are both center right politicians.

Hillary is pro Wall Street, pro Lobbyist, and pro War. Rand Paul is worse on some social issues. So what? They're both terrible, and I think that's the point.

[dsc]

20. spoken as a white straight male I would be willing to bet

otherwise I doubt you would think the voting rights act, gay rights, and abortion among other things amount to so what.

[Dawgs]

25. Again, Hillary AND Paul are both terrible. We shouldn't accept either of them.

And, I'm against everything that Democrats once considered important; like worker's rights, peace over war, gay rights, abortion rights, civil rights, etc. That's why I support Bernie Sanders over any other candidate.

[dsc]

27. I am going to assume you don't mean what you wrote in your first sentence

but the fact is if you don't see a difference between Hillary and Ron Paul then you really don't hold those issues in very high regard and again, I suspect you have that position due to not really needing those rights all that badly yourself.

[foxface]

31. Do you

Rand paul is much better on foreign policy than the warmongerer hillary clinton.

[dsc]

32. which Rand Paul would that be

the one would would eliminate foreign aid from Israel or the one who has apparently claimed never to say that. Paul has a disturbing habit of saying whatever it takes to get people to vote for him.

[Dawgs]

34. Oops. Very poorly written sentence. Didn't mean it. Thanks.

I see quite a big difference between Hillary and Paul. I also think both would be very poor choices as President.

So, you're wrong, and I already told you that I hold all of those issues in very high regard. That's why I support Bernie Sanders, whom I'm guessing you would also criticize.

[dsc]

36. Aside from his gun position I have no problem with Sanders

though I have some doubts he is capable of translating his success in Vermont nationwide. I frankly think Sherrod Brown would be far more able to translate his electoral success nationwide and is as liberal as Sanders.

[Thinkingabout]

41. Where is your proof?

[saidsimplesimon]

28. thank you earthside, i agree

We need only look back on the policies of the big dog's administration for our clues to beware of the democrat wearing the cloak of the republican ruling class.

Repeating my current mantra: Let's do it to it in the 2014 elections.

After that, I'll entertain the next round of strategy and tactics to send every greedy politician home. They hate the talk of term limits. It would be a 50 state battle to limit their influence to say 3 terms max?

[progressoid]

6. You got 4 correct answers out of 10 questions

Damn.

[beerandjesus]

7. Got 5/10....

...but one of those I only got right because I couldn't imagine McCain using the term "raison d'etre".

[valerief]

11. Bwahahahaha!!!!

[Dustlawyer]

21. That's exactly why I chose Hillary on that one! Lol

[tridim]

9. Point made, I don't even need to take the quiz.

The fact that a quiz like this is even possible is reason enough that she should never be our nominee.

Progress, not regress.

[marble falls]

12. Scary, ain't it?

[MoonchildCA]

17. I got the one on ISIS right...

...because I couldn't picture John McCain using the term "raison d’être".

[Douglas Carpenter]

24. I suppose the notion that Hillary might know what "raison d’être" means is positive.

[saidsimplesimon]

30. "raison d'etre" didn't help Gore, nor Kerry

Thank you Mr. Carpenter for disabusing me of preconceived "notions". I've been waiting for a woman President since the days of Geraldine Ferraro. I'm still waiting for a real Democrat to emerge in 2016.

Bernie Sanders, I respect and support.

[frylock]

22. 6/10

knr

[AtomicKitten]

42. me too

that's some scary shite

[rocktivity]

23. Now, let's spin that oldie but goodie

...One's a trash-talking thug trying to stay one step ahead of the law. The other was played by James Gandolfini. Can you identify the speaker of the ten quotes? It's time to play Name That Goon! Rod Blagojevich vs. Tony Soprano

[AnAzulTexas]

26. 4/10

I would never vote for Hillary, but this is just another reminder that we, as a country, are broken.

[SpankMe]

29. 4/10

I didn't know that McCain was to the left of Hillary on these issues.

We don't have to agree on everything, though. If she's the nominee in 2016, she gets my vote anyway - regardless of who the Republican candidate is. She'd be the firewall that keeps the entire, hardcore congressional Republican agenda in check, even if she's not a liberal purist.

[Douglas Carpenter]

37. not being a liberal purist is to be expected - but is being essentially a foreign policy neocon

really acceptable?

[Douglas Carpenter]

33. knr

[TheKentuckian]

35. 6 of 10. She is hopeless

[betterdemsonly]

38. Good, The Nation, Mother Jones, and Liberal Radio are saying this

stuff so older dems that don't get on the internet, and who take landline polls are getting exposed to her garbage.

[JEB]

39. Neck and neck with senile reverse ace. Argh!

[Douglas Carpenter]

43. knr

[Douglas Carpenter]

44. another kick
