This is a subject that I probably should shy away from because I am a very conservative guy and I don't want to get into any family feuds with some others of the family, but I think that the link that Allisa sent is very interesting. http://www.wqad.com/Global/link.asp?L=259460 I did match up with the two that I thought that I would Mitt Romney(47 pts) and Duncan Hunter (46pts). In the debates, those two seem to agree with my views on the world best. Though Mitt is LDS, I think that in some ways, I like Duncan Hunter a bit more. Hunter doesn't seem to have a chance and Mitt seems to be gaining a little ground in the Religious Right. I did not think that this would happen and although most in this camp are very uneducated about Mormons and our true beliefs, I thought that most of the Christian groups would back others. I think that most of them would back Hunter if he had a chance. I really have found that the War Chapters in Alma and Helamen have helped me agree with the current administration about terrorism and keeping up the fight. It makes sense to me how secret combinations can be so slippery and difficult to eradicate. I understand why Moroni, having seen our day, would include those chapters there.
I will have to say that I am a bit nervous about this election season. I do believe that if we end up with H. Clinton that we are going to have a mess. Hillary care would probably never pass through Congress, but if we stay with this Democratic Congress trying to raise taxes and provide everything for everyone, I believe that the economy will suffer. If I were to choose a liberal candidate that has a chance, I would hope for Mr. Obama. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the primaries. I do not know how long this divide between the Republican and Democratic party has been separated by the Religious vs Non-religious platforms, but it sure does seem to be growing wider. The constitution certainly seems to be getting ripped apart in the defense of everything that the founding fathers would not seem to agree with. Groups like the ACLU seem to be trying to get rid of God in everything that we, as a nation, have valued as important since the foundation of the US. It is very difficult to watch happen.
For a few years now, I wondered how the world would get so bad that we would have the wars large enough to fit into what is described at the last days where Christ would have to liberate the Jewish people from attacks on all sides. It is becoming more clear how that could happen Russia is backing Iran, Iran is trying to build a Nuclear bomb, they have a crazy leader that denies the Holocaust, and now the revelation that Syria was building a secret Nuclear program. It is looking a lot scarier over there. The attack on Israel seems as if it is imminent.
I had better quit now while I am behind.

I took that quiz too. I think Hillary (who I will vote for) was my forth highest match. She was tied with Obama. I think Dennis Kusinich was my best match... Well the algorthm doesn't lie. I am a member of the green-rainbow party. (Mostly because I think the country would be a better place if we had a multi party system and you didn't have to vote against one candidate, but could vote for the candidate you actually supported!)
