I'm surprised a paper told me i will not be voting for O-NO in nov.[ROFL2]
You probably won't be voting for Obama in November.
You're a conservative, or even a Republican. You're probably frustrated by most of Obama's policies and thinking are about voting for Romney in November.
Taking it now, but the link was the results...
Here is the link to the quiz:

I'm definitely conservative, I might share some view with the GOP but I also share views with 3rd parties.
I'm not thinking about voting for Romney, I AM voting for Romney.

I don't know who wrote the answers, but it seemed to me there was not an appropriate answer listed for most of the questions. I often had to choose the one with which I disagreed the least just to get through the quiz.

Ditto! [Beer]
Although some of the question in that quiz it didn't have a viable answer that matched what I believe (Afghanistan, Immigration, Same-Sex Marriage)...

Yah, I got as close as I could on a few of them.

You're a moderate liberal, or maybe even an Independent. You agree with most of the decisions President Obama has made while in office, and you understand that compromise is sometimes necessary.
I don't know how, but there it is! [LOL]

Here's the complementary quiz:

For the Obama quiz, it said "you're a liberal moderate, or perhaps an independent"; for the Romney quiz, it said "You're a Republican and Mitt is your man!"
Like the other posters, there were a few questions that didn't have obvious answers.

Your results
You're a conservative, and proud of it!
You're a right-wing capitalist who believes in small government. You definitely didn't vote for Obama in '08, and you're definitely not voting for him in 2012. Rick Santorum was probably a candidate you could identify with.

Admit it, you're voting for Romney. Even the magic 8 ball has your number:)=
I'm going to just write myself in. Obama and Romeny are part of the problem and the only answer to the solution is to get off the 2 party system and even off of a third party system and vote myself in.
I already wrote in Ron Paul and mailed my ballot in. FUCK THE SYSTEM!

Sorry, Jer. You didn't "FUCK THE SYSTEM". If anything, you may have fucked yourself.
The system is going to survive, with or without your vote. Regardless of who it's for. You may have made yourself feel better but you had absolutely zero impact on the system.
If you're lucky, your vote won't matter because Romney will have enough to win. If you're not lucky, you're just going to get 4 more years of Obama.
If you wanted to figure out if you were more or less conservative than Romney, wouldn't you just throw a dart at his constantly shifting statements?

The only important part To me of what you just said is in bold. Romney or Obama? Same damn thing no matter how hard you wish it wasn't. I'll rest easy tonight knowing I cast my vote for who I felt was the right candidate for the position. I really don't care who you think is the right candidate & I especially don't care who you think is the wrong candidate for the position. If the RNC really wanted my vote they would have put forth a better candidate.

Yeah...the whole self-gratification thing is pretty important to some people.
It's unfortunate you have such little understanding of how the system of caucuses and primaries work. The RNC didn't choose anyone. Voters did.

People can't complain about "the party's" candidate if they didn't vote in a primary/caucus.
~10% of registered Republicans voted in Colorado's Republican caucus in 2012 (less than 80,000 people)
Edit: just looked it up: 66,027 people voted in the Colorado Republican Caucus in 2012. That's out of 871,275 registered Republicans as of September 30, 2012.
btw, yes I know Colorado picked Santorum, but I think there's a general feeling of people pissed at Romney as their candidate, when he won the primaries with ~10% participation. Should be pissed at those of like mind who didn't participate.

Such little understanding? What if I understand it just fine? What if I was actually part of the delegates selected for my precinct? What if I told you that Romney wasn't the nominee selected for our precinct or more precincts in this state for that matter? Does ANY of that change the fact that Romney is the nominee and our ONLY choice for Republican candidate on the ballot? Nope. So who cares? Does personally attacking me somehow make you feel better? Kind of seems like 'the whole self-gratification thing' is pretty important to you.

Well I did vote in the party's primary/caucus and I even represented our precinct as an elected delegate so does that give me MORE room to complain? What if sane citizens of this country look at the candidates put forth and feel like it's bullshit? Do they need to jump through all of your hoops to think the system is broken?

Well if you understand the system why would you say the RNC picked Romney? That makes no sense and you apparently know it's bullshit judging by your remarks.
My group picked Santorum, too. As a matter of fact, as was pointed out Santorum won Colorado. Jeez...how did that happen if the RNC picks the nominee?
And there's always only ONE republican or democrat or libertarian candidate on the ballot for president. What does that statement even mean?

They can "feel" anything they want. They, and you, are entitled to your opinions and your choice in who to vote for. But you're not entitled to your own facts. The fact is Romney was chosen by voters in our two-party system.
If you're going to come on to a public forum and make your political views known to the world then you should expect dissenting view points and some ridicule and not get all butt hurt when they're offered.
I'm subjected to ridicule from several others here because I support Romney. But I think I've laid out my reasoning and my position very well. I don't think he's the same as Obama. I don't think I have to make a choice between two evils because I don't think Romney is evil. I don't think the democrat party = the republican party. I don't think the system is broken. As a matter of fact, I think the system works just fine. It just doesn't always work out the way I want it to.
Romney is not my ideal candidate. But he's the one that our system, powered by voters, chose. You just don't like that it happened that way. Well I got news for ya...that's just too bad.
Ron Paul, Gary Johnson nor any other libertarian is going to be president. Get over it already. A libertarian is not likely to get elected in your lifetime. The sooner you come to grips with that reality the better off you're going to be emotionally. Really. Either Mitt Romney or Barack Obama is going to be elected (or re-elected) to be president for the next 4 years. Period. No one else is going to be elected to the presidency regardless of how much you piss and moan about how lousy those two choices are. Personally, I would much rather have Romney in the white house. As a matter of fact, I'd take Mitt Romney to be president until the end of time (or at least my time) rather than take a chance another Obama would come along.
I have faith in this country and I have faith in our system of government. I don't share the same degree of faith in some of the people employed by the government. But I'm not ready to throw in the towel on the USA just yet.

All differences aside, at least everyone here votes or voted. That's what makes this country great, politics aside:)
Now back to our regularly scheduled disagreements.
Butt hurt? Who's butt hurt? Certainly not me. I'm quite fine with my choice. If anyone seems butt hurt it appears to be based on your posts.

Well it's hard to disagree with that compelling and articulate argument.

If sane citizens look at the candidates and feel like it's bullshit, then they should nominate non-bullshit candidates or run themselves.

Hmmm... Did that one and wow:
Congratulations! You're more conservative than Mitt Romney!
You're a proud member of the GOP, and you might even identify with the tea party movement. You're probably worried that if elected, Romney won't always act as conservative as he says he is.
