"I side with....."

[FORD]

Heard Libertarian Gary Johnson plugging this site on Norman Goldman's show, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's connected to his party, though it claims to be completely unaffiliated with anybody.

Unlike some previous surveys, the wording of the questions don't seem all that biased in one direction or the other, and if you don't like their "either or" answers, there's usually a popup menu with some other options, which was a good idea.

Here's the URL for the survey: www.isidewith.com

And FORD's results: http://www.isidewith.com/results/47050341

Not sure why Rocky isn't on their damn list, but Jill is OK. Actually surprised to see that they think I agree with Gary Johnson 64% of the time though, and Ron Paul 57%

And who the Hell is Stewart Alexander???

[Dr. Love]

I knew there was hope for you FORD ... but your memory appears to be going!

[FORD]

Shit..... I totally forgot about that. I guess they must have really overhauled the site, because I didn't recognize it when I went there. And I know Jill Stein wasn't on the list the last time.

Really pisses me off that they still haven't added Rocky though

[Dr. Love]

FORD I knew you had liberty in slightly more than half of your heart! I'm glad to hear you like Gary and Ron better than Obama!

There's no goddamn way that Stewart Alexander is polling higher than Rocky Anderson. I never even heard of him before today. (Apparently he's with the Socialist party or something?)

Well, those numbers speak for themselves.... I still agree with the values of the Democratic party 92%, but only 54% with President Obama.

Oddly enough I agree with Jill Stein 92% of the time. So who is really representing actual Democrats, her or Barry?

As far as Gary goes, I just heard him on the radio, and results were pretty much what I expected. He was making plenty of sense when it came to weed, wars, and weddings, but he lost me when he went into the Randtard deregulation horseshit.

I'm unfamiliar with Jill Stein, but apparently I side with her on 98% of the issues compared to only 89% with Obama...

Paulbot calls out Rockybot...



Love it

[Dr. Love]

I had to make the percentage small enough not to be snared in my own joke

you've just outed yourself to FORD as a DLC-loving infiltrator.

[FORD]

How is Ron Paul still even in the poll, since he's not actually a candidate anymore?

(Yeah, I know the Repuke nomination isn't "official" yet, but with Eddie Munster on the ticket, I don't see no "teabagger riots in Tampa" attempting to hijack the convention.)

[FORD]

you've just outed yourself to FORD as a DLC-loving infiltrator.

How can that be if he's 6% "Greener" than I am?

Though his results are a bit of a paradox, because I'm not sure Jill & Barry agree on all that much.

Actually, the RNC is now trying to purge enough of the duly elected Paul delegates to prevent him from having his name placed in nomination. If he gets the plurality of 5 delegations (he had 8) he gets his name automatically placed in nomination and is automatically given a primetime speech, according to the rules.

They've already purged the Louisiana delegates, and they are trying to do the same in 4 other states.

I don't think they are afraid that Paul will steal the nomination, but they don't want anybody causing trouble, and they don't want him to get a chance to speak. They are trying to keep the whole thing as scripted as possible.

I think any potential outreach he had Paul Ryan trying with the Paul faction is pretty much demolished. We're all either writing in Paul or voting Johnson (I'm doing the latter). At this point I'd rather see Obama win over Romney just so that little cocksucker could have his balls kicked in and the Republicans could go fuck themselves for the next 4 years.

No wonder I don't think there's much difference between Romney and Obama. :P

ha. i got obama 78%, romney 33%.

(and ron paul 58%. seems about right, considering they didn't list more of his economic policies...)

[Dr. Love]

Hey FORD, looks like they updated to include Rocky.

[FORD]

Bad news is that they have changed the poll back to "either or" answers, which skews the results considerably from what I had before......

The real paradox is that I agree with Jill Stein 3% more than I did the last time, and somehow it looks like I agree with Barry and even Mittens more than I did before (which is obviously not true)

Guess the real moral here is how easily it is to skew polls - even relatively non biased ones like this- by how questions are asked, and how you are allowed to answer.

I definitely liked the "refined" answers better, and I hope they bring that option back.

[Dr. Love]

Entirely possible you agree more with Romney than you did before, he may have changed his position on a few more things

[FORD]

I'm sure he hasn't even pretended to have positions that would agree with mine since he was running for governor of Massachusetts.

[jhale667]

Whatever they did, Jill Stein lost 2 points...
