Should you be allowed to vote?
Just a silly, but fun short quiz to check out how informed you are. Some of the questions are a little irrelevant, but some are right on the money. Mr. Hooah! and I are stumped as to what we missed. We both agree on the answers. Hmmm, post your results in the comments section.
You Should Be Allowed to Vote |
 You got 12/15 questions correct. Generally speaking, you’re very well informed. If you vote this election, you’ll know exactly who (and what) you’ll be voting for. You’re likely to have strong opinions, and you have the facts to back them up. |

I got 14/15. How do we find out what questions we got wrong? Kinda snarky, eh?
October 30, 2008
You know I am not sure where to find that out! I was trying to figure out on my own which ones I got wrong (or in your case which ONE!! Good going!)
I guess we could post our answers and compare notes.

We are going to have to pull or answers together to see which ones we are all missing. Piper that is so funny because I honestly thought of you when I posted this and I was betting my dessert that you would get a very high score!

One quick thought… Maybe Piper and JOCS are both 100% correct and the author of the quiz was wrong!?! :wink

I missed #’s 3 & 4
In my opinion Bush v Gore wasn’t a landmark court case and I thought Germany might be the answer but I just wanted to pick on the french.
October 31, 2008
Actually I meant 3 & 5
I would’ve thought France was too pansy to handle nuclear weapons….

Hey ALL…:)
Yes, I am still around. Seems the power “thingie” on my computer needs replacing, so am checking out the options. Ironic, since I had *just* told KYW that I felt like I needed a ‘time out’..This is what happens.;) What I call one of God’s 2 x 4′s..rofl
I am watching the developments in the US, (with dismay tinged with a HUGE dollop of faith).
Keeping the faith with all of YOU.

12/15 correct–Yippee! I can vote

And they DO know me well.
I DO have strong opinions (very strong opinions) and ….
I DO have the facts to back them up.
Hence I will be voting for McCain/Palin. Nuff said!
Have a good weekend all!
