We also have the Constitution Party, represented in this election by Virgil Goode, whom are more or less proto-fascists. Luckilly, they are even less prolific than the Green Party and Libertarian Party.

Read and be horrified.

You guys have one of them? Wow. TBH Obama came in at 85%, with Romney 49%. Apparently my immigration opinions are a little like his, which is worrying. Maybe I am some kind of racist in denial.

Maybe, but Europe and the US have a fundamentally different way of looking at immigration. The European states and ethnic groups of today have been around in some format for the past few thousand years, while the United States and Americans (excepting Native Americans) have...not.

[Reelya]

Who is Jill Stein and why do my super-left Euro values make me match 95% with her?

Apparently, she's the nominee from the Green Party.

I got 85% Jill Stein I'm not as hardcore as MonkeyHead.

[Glowcat]

Apparently, Romney wants to explore space. o.O

Did he actually state an intention to pursue space exploration or are they assuming because of the whole Mormon Space God thing?

that's is rather harsh. The basic concepts behind libertarian philosophy are good.  The trouble is that they tend to foccus singlemindedly on a highly abstract economic model that was known to be problematic and lead to corporate despotism and economic inequity even by its creator Adam Smith. If only they bothered to take a deeper look at the realities of economic disenfranchisement and the inevitaable corruption resulting from unregulated markets.

Really I think the "basic concepts" lead naturally into the support for the horrible economic model.  If you start at the premise that the magical powers of FREEDOM and the FREE MARKET would solve all our problems it naturally follows that we should withdraw all support for poor people and eliminate every government service.  It's just that the premise is horribly wrong.

EDIT: Romney may have won his debate, but looks like some Republicans are less than keen to repeat the feat.

PA congressional candidate refusing to have the debate recorded. Or appear at the same time as his opponent.

New York congressman refuses to appear at a debate, then threatens to pull advertising from the hosting radio station if they let his opponent appear.

Because if there's anything we've learned, its that the GOVERNMENT and EQUALITY can solve complex social issues with ease.

According to this website, it seems that I would be voting Gary Johnson 2012. I think it's just because they don't have a credible socialist candidate. Is Obama really that pro stem-cell research?

Slow burner issue, but yes. He issued an executive order in 2009 that allowed for federal funding of ESC research. This was blocked for a while by a federal judge but he recently won in court in a similar case. Another post focusing on the election.

As for voting Gary Johnson because there isn't a socialist, I'm just going to extinguish this fire with some gasoline because I don't have any water.

I would have said that the ideas of socialism were almost the exact opposites of libertarianism, yeah. It's odd. The website says I side most with Gary Johnson as a candidate but the Socialists as a party. How does that work?

Site sucks?

More seriously, it seems your answers don't line up with socialism that well. I expected it to be based on foreign policy (current socialist and libertarian trends make both sets anti-interventionist, although it's certainly not an inherent property of socialism), but seems you also sided with him on healthcare and domestic policy. Those are areas where socialist answers should have been far more in line with Jill Stein or Obama.

Probably partially due to how the site is divided up, but I'm guessing that the 28% of disagreement with the socialist party are areas where there is a hard socialist/libertarian split, and you seem to be on the libertarian side of much of it. At least as far as those answers go.
