Should YOU be allowed to vote?

Great quiz! I can never resist those things. I got 14/15 correct - the only one I missed was the nuclear weapons question. Even there, I second-guessed myself and would have been right if I had gone with my first answer. My 16 year old got 11 of 15, too, which makes me a happy mommy.

You know I heard a man say the other day that a person should be required to take a test to get a license to vote to make sure that they have enough sense to actually vote. I thought that was about the dumbest thing that I had ever heard anyone say until I started watching people in some of these game rooms talk about why we should vote for this one or that one and it really made me go back and remember what that man said. I actually wonder if some of these people have any idea what is going on in this world. I have never seen such stupid reasons for voting for a person in my life. One woman told me so what if there are terroist connections, he is black and that is all that matters, I ask her if she thought he needed a bit more experience and she replied for what he will learn as he goes, sounded real smart and while he is learning and we are attacked again then I guess that will be lesson one. People need to research the facts and compare each candidate and to under stand what is happening and what one decission can do to the rest of our lives, maybe it would be a good idea for some to pass a test before they vote.

too funny yet accurate [i]You got 5/15 questions correct. Jeez, let's hope you're not actually American. You don't know much about what's going on in the world. Do everyone a favor. Stay home! [/i] I'm NOT an american..I just live here..I DON'T know much about politics cause it bores me and I think its all unnecessary bullshyt...LOL and I AM staying home cause I can't vote here anyway...

I'm not a US citizen and haven't been there in over 10 years and I scored 11/15 too first time. That's kind of scary that I could, if I were allowed to, vote! LOL.

I scored 13 out of 15, but I couldn't find where to go to see what I got wrong, was a bit disappointed in that. People select a candidate for all kinds of reasons, some of them seeming beyond silly. But in this country, we each have a right to vote, regardless of how we came to the decision on who to cast our ballot for. Too many peoples' votes are influenced by gender, age, race, religion, media hype etc. Even people who are fairly well educated and informed. What really makes them any better than some one who votes based on the spouse of a candidate, or zodiac sign or whatever? How many more people would vote for McCain if they didn't know that he was 72. Or, how many more vote would Obama have if people didn't know he was of mixed race? In other words, how many of us can truely say that our votes are not influenced by information or feeling other than the issues?

Oh dear, I thought I'd score a little higher but I got 6/15 right. That makes me so ashamed! It said I should "maybe be aloud to vote" I do however do a little research before I vote to make sure I know what I am voting on. I saw on the TV they were holding up pictures and asking people different questions on the election and most people couldn't identify the vice president.

It was easy I got 15 0ut 0f 15. If you listen to the news and read a newspaper or news magaziner you should be able to answer those questions. When Howard Stern asked people why they were voting for Senator Obama and he told them that Senator Obama supported a certain policy and used a Senaotr McCain position they agreed. They supported Senator Obama's anti Abortion Poitition, his wanting to stay in Iraq until total victory and his selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as VP. Do we really want such a person deciding who will run our country?

yay! I can vote! I got 12/15. I wish it would show what I missed!

I got 15/15. I have to admit that I'm a political junkie, so I expected to get a good score.

Hooray, I got 13/15! There are too many people who really know nothing about how our government works. I heard a man on the street interview where a couple people thought it was perfectly alright to give "each to his need from each according to his abilities", originated by Karl Marx. We all know how that turned out! People are really scary nowadays in their twisted, "me, me, ME!!!" thinking.

I did really well thank goodness, since I already voted. But I am betting most voters wouldn't do well with this at all. We don't learn all of this. I wouldn't know what I did if my son wasn't studying this type of thing in school at the moment!

Hi dizz! I didn't do so well! I only got 6 out of 15! They said I can vote, but I should study some more! lol! It figures! I never did well in tests! I really am worried now! I didn't know the answer to those questions, but I think I know enough to choose which party I want to vote for! I'm still going to vote as I had already decided! So I'm not good at answering those questions. Now I'll go sit in the corner for a little while and wonder what the real answers actually were! At least they could have told me so I would know!

12/15, I wish they would tell me what I missed though I can guess a couple.

I also got 11/15. That was a neat site I took a bunch of the quizzes. Thanks for the link.

You got 14/15 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. This is why I debate online. It forces me to actively participate and do research instead of passively listening to radio or watching spinning heads on TV.

Well I got 8 right and I am not American so I think that is not too bad. I have no idea about the court cases etc and I do not follow American news much.

13/15, so disappointed. Think I know which ones I missed though what a dummy. French President, went to fast through the question and who doesn't have nuclear arms (Germany or France), couldn't remember this one. Ah well at least the quizz still thinks I should be able to vote.

I got this. You should may be allowed to vote. (doubts on the loose. haha) You got 9/15 questions correct. You're somewhat in the know, but you're not as informed as you think you are. ... Wah i just guessed some of the questions. Good thing i'm not an American because of the studying that I still need to be able to vote in their country. ^____^ Talking about luck in taking this quiz. :)
