US President Candidate Finder Quiz

[Drogue]

Odin: Mildly yes. Almost all electable figures will be. The majority of people seem to want to keep drugs illegal, punishments harsh, taxes low, and those who choose not to work off welfare, and in the US, healthcare private. In Europe, some more leftist and liberal candidates are electable. I think they have Schroeder a little to far right, but I think most Euro leaders would be near Kuninich on that scale, or possibly a little further right and authoritarian.

Those Iconochasms are interesting. I especially like the one by Bush Sr.

To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day hero ... assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an un-winnable urban guerilla war. It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability.George Bush Snr, in A World Transformed, 1998

for those asking about LaRouche:

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Democrat) Virginia LaRouche is a self-described controversial international political figure. Perennial candidate and purported political cult leader LaRouche is back for an eighth presidential bid. He was candidate for U.S. presidential nomination of Democratic Party: 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000. U.S. presidential candidate, U.S. Labor Party, 1976. LaRouche has been excluded from Democratic candidate debates despite LaRouche's reported fund-raising success. "The formal Democratic parties have disavowed" LaRouche and his surrogate candidates...He has his own party," said Democratic consultant Mark Mellman. "And they have on occasion tried to use the Democratic Party, to take over the Democratic Party, to further their own interests. "We're a pretty big tent, but the tent doesn't include lunatics and criminals," said Mellman.
A high school graduate, and a repeated college attendee, LaRouche calls himself a "world's leading economist". His conspiracy theories have implicated Queen Elizabeth, "British bankers," the Pope, narcotics producers, Jesuits, Yale University's Skull & Crossbones Society, environmentalists, and many others. Originally a Trotskyite political organizer in the Socialist Workers Party in the 1960s, he formed the now-defunct and neo-fascist US Labor Party, then registered as a Democratic in 1979. LaRouche was convicted and imprisoned on felony fraud charges in the late 1980s related to the fundraising activities of his political organization.
LaRouche was born September 8, 1922, Rochester, New Hampshire. He is married:to Helga Zepp LaRouche, a native and citizen of Germany and Director of the Schiller Institute; political figure of Germany. He was schooled in Rochester, New Hampshire and Lynn, Massachusetts Public Schools; attended Northeastern University during 1940, 1941, 1942, 1946, 1947. Management Consultant, Economist 1947-1948, 1952-1972. Founder: (1974) Executive Intelligence Review weekly; Co-Founder: (1975) Fusion Energy Foundation; Member: Schiller Institute.
LaRouche is the author of " So, You Wish To Learn All About Economics?" and "The Science of Christian Economy".

Yeah, they are still going with Kucinich having 'pro-life' values that don't matter when you come into power.

Still think that this poll weighs way too much in favour of the Libertarian candidates. Since when do you have prolife Libertarians who favour school vouchers?
