Select a Candidate 2008

I wanted to post a link for everyone to view. Its a 11 political questions on where you stand. If you dont have an opinion, just skip it and it wont analyze it. It will show you the candidates that are running for President that closely represent your view points. (this will display the top 7 0r 8 candidates out of the 18)
I was actually suprised to see that this states Mitt Romney is for legalizing abortion. You can google it and see that he has been known for flip flopping on the issue.

For safe, legal abortion since relative's death from illegal
{Romney disclosed that he became committed to legalized abortion after a relative died during an illegal abortion. The disclosure came after Romney, who said he is personally opposed to abortion, was asked to reconcile his beliefs with his political support for abortion rights. "It is since that time that my family will not force our beliefs on that matter," He said the abortion made him see "that regardless of one's beliefs about choice, you would hope it would be safe and legal."

But then again:
{"I am pro-life. I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother. I wish the people of America agreed, and that the laws of our nation could reflect that view. But while the nation remains so divided over abortion, I believe that the states, through the democratic process, should determine their own abortion laws and not have them dictated by judicial mandate." - Governor Romney, Boston Globe, Op-Ed, July 26, 2005}
I'm sure if you look into it, every candidate has flip flopped on one issue or another. I just so happened to look into this particular one on Romney.

Wow....I won't even post my results for fear of being run out of the family.

I will say that I liked Governor Romney much better than Candidate Romney.

He is so far right he can high five Patt Robertson and that is not a good thing.
