So...based on the accuracy of this 'poll of the issues' one can be sure that one is not really thinking very clearly if one is fooled by this tactic. This is no particular jibe towards Kerry nor an endorsement of Bush. But the fact of the matter is that intelligent discourse requires one to think for themselves. We're all too trusting of the testmakers....and the obvious stacking of issues here is so blatantly obvious that it was a joke. At least the math actually works presuming you know what you're doing...at first I thought the math was randomly generated. In fact, it is the questions that are randomly generated.
