This site is a great place to learn how candidates stand on certain issues. Try the presidential race quiz (link is top right says "quizzes" on it), let me know who your top three are. Mine are 1)Hillary Clinton 2)Mark Gravel 3)Ron Paul
Interestingly they are all soft on drugs, which is just perfect.

My top 3:
1. Ron Paul 2. Bill Richardson 3. Mike Gravel
However, I found a couple of Ron Paul's positions a bit disappointing: -Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999) -Present scientific facts that support creationism. (Sep 2007)

My number one is John McCain, with only 50% agreement though...
I liked the bottom of my list: Kucinich, Edwards, Obama I cant stand any of those fucks.

haha, I have to call a little BS on the poll, there is some mischief going on...
The poll says "Teach family values in public schools", but in scoring the candidates they use "Teacher-led prayer in public schools " for the same category.
Family values does not equal teacher-led prayer. I support the former and oppose the latter.

Gravel is pro-legalization, anti-IRS(though he would replace the income tax with a national sales tax, which I think is even worse), pro-gun, pro-universal health care, and pro-environment. Pretty good overall.

I get Kucinich, Gravel, and Clinton.
Neither of whom I will be voting for.
