Hey! I found that PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SELECTOR.

http://www.selectsmart.com/president/

My results:

1.  Your ideal theoretical candidate.   (100%)  
2.  Kucinich, Rep. Dennis, OH - Democrat   (77%)  
3.  Dean, Gov. Howard, VT - Democrat   (70%)
4.  Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat   (69%)  
5.  Edwards, Senator John, NC - Democrat   (68%)
6.  Clark, Retired General Wesley K., AR - Democrat   (63%)  Click here for info
7.  Gephardt, Rep. Dick, MO - Democrat   (63%)
8.  Sharpton, Reverend Al - Democrat   (61%)
9.  Lieberman, Senator Joe, CT - Democrat   (41%)
10.  Bush, President George W. - Republican   (31%)
11.  Libertarian Candidate   (21%)  
12.  Phillips, Howard - Constitution   (14%)

Well. I'm not Kucinich's man. I could support Dean, Clark,  Edwards or Gephardt. Nothing against Kerry also.

My views change when I move from Finland to USA. In Finland I favour to reducing taxes and goverment interventions. In Finland we have TOO MUCH transfer of incomes. I think that  goverment has responsibility to guarantee healthcare, education and minimum living. But in Finland social security is too openhanded which gives wrong signal particularly to young people and makes many working people unnecessarily  dependent on goverment's support.

In Finland I have always got conservative candidate by selectors.

I just realised that I  probably got Kucinich first over other Democrats, because I agree with him on abortion issue. I have understood that he's pro LIFE. Am I right?

Well. I have the say that there is very few pro-life in Finnish National Coaliton Party. It's pretty liberal on social issues. Home, religion and Fatherland were once it's mainvalues, but nowadays it's more Libertarian party.

We have small Christian Democratic Party in Finland. It's conservative on social issues, but pretty liberal in economy.

GWBFan. I hope that you did'n get angry with my statement that your post was misleading. But honestly. It was. Kosovo operation was  essential and it's no doubt that Milosevic is very big war criminal. But well you did not write it yourself.

I agree most of your points.

Many Europeans had big problem to accept war against Iraq, because there wasn't ACUTE genocide going on..Of cource there was human right cricis.
