Seven Presidential CandidatesPosted Tuesday, October 14, 2008, at 1:47 AM
Sometimes when making decisions you have to be creative. Based upon three unorthodox methodologies, here are the basic characteristics of some of the presidential candidates in the November election.
Personality type is one of 79 categories based on the characterology of a person's first name. Astrology relies on a person's date and time of birth. Numerology defines traits based on a numerical conversion of a person's full name (the first number within the parenthesis is the basic character, followed by their subconscious desire). The following are candidates for the office of President of the United States in 2008, listed randomly by osmosis. LIBERTARIAN PARTY -- Robert Laurence (Bob) Barr, Jr. Platform: Less government, more individual freedom, a free economy, an end to the war on drugs Personality type: Cavalier Prophet -- Open-minded, self-confident, strong emotions, self-control Astrology: Scorpio (11/5/48) -- Resourceful, loyal, dynamic, unyielding Numerology: (2, 3) -- Tactful diplomat with affection for others REFORM PARTY -- Ted Weill Platform: Balanced budget, reduce national debt, oppose free trade, term limits for Congress Personality type: Reigning Presence -- Spontaneous, strong-willed, private, emotional, king of the castle Astrology: Unknown (X/X/25) -- age 83 Numerology: (9, 1) -- Humanitarian with a desire for independence REPUBLICAN PARTY -- John Sidney McCain III Platform: Nurture economic interests, a strong military to police the world Personality type: Warrior Monk -- Intelligent, demanding, stubborn, thinks he's smarter than everyone else Astrology: Virgo (9/29/36) -- Observant, reliable, inflexible, cold Numerology: (6, 3) -- Protector with affection for others INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE -- Ralph Nader Platform: Consumer protectionism, reduce corporate influence in government, environmentalism Personality type: Generous Heart -- Very active, nervous, independent, belligerent, irritable Astrology: Pisces (2/27/34) -- Compassionate, devoted, oversensitive, insecure Numerology: (7, 8) -- Deep thinker seeking wisdom and perfection DEMOCRATIC PARTY -- Barack Hussein Obama II Platform: Tax & spend on social engineering, large government will solve all problems Personality type: The Grasper -- Desire for power and influence, self-assertive stubbornness, controlling Astrology: Leo (8/4/61) -- Confident, ambitious, pretentious, vain Numerology: (1, 9) -- Individualist with a desire for philanthropy GREEN PARTY -- Cynthia McKinney Platform: Protect the environment, promote social justice, nonviolent resistance, anti-corporate Personality type: Dazzling Seductress -- Idealistic, expressive, goal-oriented, materialistic, inner conflicts Astrology: Pisces (3/17/55) -- Compassionate, devoted, oversensitive, insecure Numerology: (3, 4) -- Expressive speaker with tenacity of purpose CONSTITUTION PARTY -- Charles Baldwin Platform: Repeal the income tax, oppose abortion, state's rights, nonintervention in foreign affairs Personality type: Tenacious Champion -- Self-control, melancholy, cold, not moved by the plights of others Astrology: Taurus (5/3/52) -- Persistent, patient, stubborn, self-indulging Numerology: (4, 6) -- Practical builder with a desire to give advice to others Name characterology, astrology and numerology may not be a very scientific approach for choosing a leader but it's probably better than believing empty campaign promises or going along with the voting herd. We live in a hostile world governed by imperfect people trying to guide an imperfect populace through an uncertain future. Choosing an imperfect person to guide us through the uncertain future is an opportunity that only comes along every four years. And there are plenty of imperfect candidates to choose from. _ Quote for the Day -- "The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, its an instrument for the people to restrain the government."
