Why I hate voting

This is a little quiz. You enter your opinions on various issues, and it tells you whic political candidates have the platform closest to your answers.

My BEST match was Kucinich, at a stunning 48% similarity. Yes, the closest candidate to my own views is somebody who I agree with on less than 50% of the issues covered in this quiz.

Which just supports what I've felt all along, that there's not a one of them I would be happy to vote for. Voting is just a matter of chosing the lesser of several evils.

Unless you're part of the electoral college, don't sweat president so much: You don't get to vote for that office anyway per US Constitution. Sweat the small stuff, like your local politicians. Get enough of those on your side at the US level and the president can't get jack shit done.
