say you’ll vote on November 7th.

According to a CNN report Thursday morning, Democrats and
Republicans are paying consulting firms big bucks to figure out how you’ll
vote. Take this quiz to find out how they
say you’ll vote on November 7th:

1. Do you
own:

a. Dogs

b. Cats

c. Both

2. Do you
drive a …

a. Traditional
Mini-van

b. Hybrid
car or mini-van

3. Which
kind of computer do you use?

a. PC

b. Apple

4. Do you
shop at:

a. Discount
outlets

b. High-end
stores

5. How is
your front yard groomed?

a. Jungle
gym in front

b. Manicured
lawn or groomed garden

If you answered “a”
for all of the above, you will vote Republican, according to today’s political
fortune-tellers.

If you answered “c” for
question #1 and “b” for all the rest, you will vote Democratic.

Does this sound as silly to you as it does to me? Did
they nail you or were they far off-base?
They didn’t get me at all! What does owning a PC have to with what I believe?!

Here’s a quiz I made up today.
See if this one tells you more about how you'll vote on November 7th. Complete the following sentences:

1. I
believe the most important issue facing Americans today is:

a. Global
Responsibility

b. American
Security

2. I
believe to achieve a thriving American economy, we need to prioritize …

a. Raising
the minimum wage to a living wage and prioritize government programs that
work to lift individuals and families out of poverty.

b. Tax
cuts to the rich and corporations.

3. I
believe security is more
important than the preservation of constitutional rights (e.g. habeus corpus, right to privacy,
and checks on presidential power), civil
rights (protection of minority
rights) and human rights (e.g. torture)?

a. No

b. Yes

4. I
believe …

a. …
Illegal immigrants are human beings first and they are our
neighbors. They should to be
treated with the same human dignity that Americans expect for themselves
and their families. The U.S.
should seek the welfare of its neighboring countries in order to insure
its own welfare, while at the same time strengthening its borders.

b. …
Illegal aliens are a grave threat to U.S. security against
terrorists. They should be blocked
from working, hospital admittance, and education. All illegal aliens should be identified
and sent back where they came from.
And America
should militarize its borders.

5. The
moral issues I prioritize are …

a. Poverty
and Stem Cell Research

b. Abortion
and Gay Marriage

If you answered “a” for each question, you are more likely
to vote Democratic. You are also more
likely to use Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:31-46 as your voting guide.

If you answered “b” for each question, you’re more likely to
vote Republican. You are also more likely
to use James Dobson’s words in Focus on the Family publications as your voting
guide.

If you're somewhere in the middle, how will you vote? What's your criteria?
