Presidential Candidate 'Computer Dating'
engywook writes "On National Public Radio's Morning Edition this morning, there was a story that mentioned the SelectSmart Presidential Candidate Selector. This was described as a kind of 'computer dating service' for deciding which of the remaining presidential candidates match your views most closely. According to the story, it is not limited to just the Democratic and Republican candidates. Might be just the thing to help gel a decision in swinging undecideds!"
Oh, that's right, the Communist Party of America is supporting John Kerry!!

I took this test two weeks ago. IT IS HEAVILY BIASED TOWARDS BUSH. The test is a push poll, a type of poll that askes biased questions in the hopes of directing people in one direction or another.

Kerry has proposed repealing the tax cut (also known as "raising taxes") on the richest 1% in order to pay for important social spending (medicare = healthcare so the very poor and children don't die).
The 80s called, they want "do it for the children" back.
Everyone should know that raising taxes means the (rather socialist) U.S. government will be spending more money on aid programs. If that money had been going toward defense (which used to be the primary concern of a government) then I doubt everyone would be complaining about going into Iraq with such a small and underfunded force.
That said, shame on you for trying to illicit an emotional kneejerk about starving children for the purposes of promoting your candidate.
Do you want to pay less taxes so children die from not having immunizations, antibiotics when they're sick, fixed broken bones, etc.?
You had the brass to complain about push polls after asking a question like that?
Direct away from face when opening.
