Highest Republican is Rand Paul at 34%, followed by Trump at 33%.
Forgot to add that I am apparently a liberal tree hugger who supports government, who is slightly socialist, and who believes we need to clean up our backyard before we worry about everyone else's.
Shocking

I still don't like these questions because frankly almost all of them require "my own answer" so the result is off anyway. Meh. Biden is my highest dem at 66% In fact everyone except Webb was over 50%.
Politics may have passed me by.

Well apparantly, according to some, I'm not a republican anymore.
Which frankly, for the funniness of the post and the ludicrous nature of the poster, might be right. I abhor the GOP in its current form. I was watching twitter last night as the Paul Ryan stuff was going on and the so called conservatives were making me want to punch something. So many of them are so blinded by their own misguided rage that they can't even see when they are played by Harry Reid not to mention their own myopic worthless worldviews of power and only power.
The GOP needs to break apart and destroy itself. It's not a cohesive party anymore. It was for a long time but it isn't anymore. There is no leadership, there is no workable platform that can actually govern a nation in the 21st century, there is a gang that has too much power that hasn't opened a science book in their entire lives, they use religion as a sword and shield when it is supposed to be neither and they stand for not standing for anything except getting a rise out of the most vengeful groups in the party that I have no desire to be governed by.
There is just way too much us against them in the GOP and there isn't anything of value that it's based off of. You have evangellical Christians decrying social programs that help the poor, you have war hawks calling for the bombardment of half the planet with no thought to the long term consequences of such recklessness, you have anti-abortionists clouding the entirety of their ability to govern on one rather insignificant issue that is a symptom of a larger problem that government creates to begin with when it tries to legislate for a specific outcome and whole host of other problems within the party that makes it functionally useless. Half of these morons wouldn't know what to do with themselves if there was no almight evil Barack Obama to hate on. Frankly, most of them are the fricken Joker from Dark Knight at this point - they are so rabid that they wouldn't know what to do if they ever actually caught the car they were chasing after.
The sad thing for me is that I despise the Democratic Party just as much. And there is no chance that I vote for them to have more national power and thereby have more state and local money and power to use to influence lower levels of government.
There is no chance I ever vote for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Rand Paul, or the current version of Mike Huckabee that needs to be sent off to his own Elba Island at this point to yell at the trees. I'd be ok voting for JEB Bush and might even be ok voting for Marco Rubio. Chris Christie betrayed the very nature of what got him to be so popular in my eyes and should have run against Romney 4 years ago and pushed his chips in but he didn't and in failing to do that he ended up ruining the work he was doing in my state. And then there is John Kasich. A governor from an important state that actually knows how to govern. I don't agree with him on everything and probably never will. But he actually can govern and knows how to act like an adult - something that is clearly lacking in this GOP. I would vote for John Kasich in a heartbeat and hope I get the chance to. JEB and Marco need to show me more but they are better than Hillary or whoever gets the Dem nomination. But in all of that I am absolutely a man without a party at this point. And I'm someone who the GOP should have never lost.

Well of course you and I aren't looking for the same things but to be honest I find it hard to believe you think Jeb or Marco should be President. Just their stated positions seem counter to what I know of you. And Kasich? The guy telling seniors to get over him wanting to cut SS and Medicare? That doesn't really sound like you either. After the primaries I'm not sure either of us will be very happy. Well I'll be ecstatic if I get Bernie but he has a hill to climb for sure.

I do think it's interesting to see some people react to these things. They are hardly scientific but they are useful if you answer truthfully and can respond within the canned choices. If you got an answer that surprises you at least pause for a second and consider the implications of that.
I got an answer I expected. I am a proud self proclaimed tree hugging, union loving, Liberal after all.

Interesting. The corporatist, "compassionate conservative", big money donor wing of the party has been in control and happily ####ting on the base for quite some time. If things aren't as you want them within the Republican party you only have them to blame.
Conversely, it's the Bushes and Christies of the world which resulted in me becoming politically unaffiliated years ago. If the Republican party shriveled up and died tomorrow I would not shed a tear. I vote for the qualities of the individual candidate who best represents me, not out of some misguided sense of loyalty to a team whose leadership believes self-made, conscientious, family oriented people like me are the scum of the earth.

Just for gits and shiggles I retook it and added "my own answer" to every single one of them that needed it, which was most of them. I even paid attention to the importance sliders.
Site called me a centrist, had the top 9 scores in the 50% range and Ted Cruz was still on top at 56%. Which proves the results are a mess because my answers when I had to add them are clearly not counted in any manner and I'm certainly no centrist. Or maybe I am. Who the heck knows.

I want to get one of those t-shirts from that Jon Stewart rally a few years back, which says: "I may disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler". That sums up my political attitudes in a nutshell, I think.

Have you ever been in a car that was involved in an accident with someone who didn't speak English in America?

Come talk to me when you're involved in that situation. Luckily it wasn't my car, but my friend's car that was hit by the uninsured non English speaking driver certainly got the short end of that exchange.
So you're of the mindset that you make it through the border and it's an a la carte buffet on America?

I'm of the mindset that there's no official language in the U.S. Its just the most common - for now. I really don't care what language other people speak. They need to function in their daily lives, what ever that requires them to do.
In your 1 example, the bigger issue is an uninsured driver. Not trying to change your mind, just curios as to why you're most interested in the language other people speak.

I'm of the mindset that Americans speak English and if you're going to live here, you need to be able to communicate. Should you be in a situation where you're in a car accident, you can communicate with the other driver and law enforcement. This is one tiny example of many.
Race/religion/sexual orientation doesn't mean anything to me, we're all Americans with equal rights here, those of us born here... Those here illegally need to adopt to us, not vice versa.
Brilliant comparison.

I thought of that point as well. Deaf/mute people can still function. That's why I always travel with my daughter, she's proficient in sign language. Can't be too careful.

So to confirm, once someone has made it through the borders, buffet on America, right?
Amused to Death

I think most immigrants will learn English as needed. I'm just not sure why we should concern ourselves to mandate it. What's the time frame? Immediate? 1 year? What if its an 80 year old who really has no capacity to learn another language - force them out? What if a Polish family lives in a predominately Polish neighborhood where most speak Polish - force them to learn English because....'Merica?
