Who should you vote for (American elections)?

It's just as well I'm not American, and don't live in the USA. I would have no clue who to vote for. It seems that in America, ethics and politics are bundled together, but not in any package I can actually agree with as a whole.

Here are my very confusing recommendations after rather an interesting quiz:

Who You Should Vote For

Barack Obama: 56%
Mike Gravel: 56%
Ron Paul: 56%
Dennis Kucinich: 50%
John Edwards: 50%
John McCain: 50%
Fred Thompson: 38%
Hillary Clinton: 38%
Mike Huckabee: 38%
Mitt Romney: 25%
Rudy Giuliani: 25%


Who you agree with on the war in Iraq: John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and Ron Paul

Who you agree with on the economy: Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Ron Paul, and Fred Thompson

Who you agree with on health care: Barack Obama

Who you agree with on taxes: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards

Who you agree with on abortion: Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Mitt Romney

Who you agree with on gay rights: Ron Paul, Fred Thompson, and John McCain

Socialist or Capitalist?

Some of the questions are American and not entirely applicable to an international audience, but I'm relieved to see that my capitalist tendencies are pretty low:

You Are 16% Capitalist, 84% Socialist

You see a lot of injustice in the world, and you'd like to see it fixed.
As far as you're concerned, all the wrong people have the power.
You're strongly in favor of the redistribution of wealth - and more protection for the average person.

Conservative or Liberal politics

Last one for today. I hope. These quiz things can get rather addictive, yet many of them are very silly. This one is actually about the American political system, where (confusingly to many of us) politics and ethics get muddled up together. To me, Conservative politics has nothing to do with conservative ethics. In the UK, issues such as abortion restrictions are generally resolved in parliament by all politiicans voting according to their consciences. They're not related to any particular party. Of course social policies such as taxation and immigration are related to party politics, although the US Liberal party is more like the Labour party in the UK.

But anyway, this was slightly more interesting than many...
