[LisaM]

1. I got a 3!

Yes, it is a fun poll.

[pansypoo53219]

52. me too!

tho i had a hard time deciding on who to favor, players or sport owners. they all suck.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I'm a commie pinko 5!

[stranger81]

3. I'm a big fat ONE . . . .

[hobbit709]

4. A big 9

[karlrschneider]

Same here, between Ted and Hillary

;-)

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. 4 for me

that makes me middle of the road, right? :D

[Colorado Progressive]

12. if wedged between Jackson and TK is middle of the road

[aaronbees]

67. 4 for me too

:)

I think it's generally accurate, as much as these silly tests can be.

[HughMoran]

6. I couldn't do it

They were all trick questions!

[liberalmuse]

14. They really were.

I don't think this an accurate gauge of...whatever.

[HughMoran]

7. I couldn't do it

They were all trick questions!

[Colorado Progressive]

10. How were they trick questions LOL

[HughMoran]

16. I knew how to answer to be a lib or conserv

I just didn't want to play :D

[karynnj]

81. I had the same feeling - I wanted a middle answer

that most closely was where I was - but it wasn't there. I do understand the design - as you said later, it is easy to know on each question, what made you liberal or conservative.

[Colorado Progressive]

8. you're all making me feel like a conservative here.....n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

9. I scored a 7 too!

Surprised it was that high but I guess I gave a few conservative answers.

[liberalmuse]

11. So did I.

I'm more conservative than I thought. I'm somewhere between Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton.

[RB TexLa]

13. 17

[spindoctor]

15. Ban pornography? Are they crazy?

Sweet 16 for me.

That's me all over. Clinton man. Good test.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Oh, that's one area where the religious right & some authoritarian would-be "progressives" agree.

You know, consenting adults should be free to do, watch and read what *I* say it's okay for them to. :eyes:

[spindoctor]

35. I will go to war to defend my right to porn

As a matter of fact, any candidate, Democrat or Republican, who will run on a "free porn for all" program will have my vote.

Priorities come first.

[Warren DeMontague]

38. Here's what I'd like them to stand up for: The across-the-board right of consenting adults to

do whatever the fuck they want with their own bodies, insofar as it isn't directly harming or endangering anyone else.

That means if a consenting adult wants to smoke a joint in the privacy of his or her own home, if a consenting adult is terminally ill and wants a pain-free exit of his or her own choosing, if a consenting adult wants to use birth control, if a consenting adult woman wants to exercise choice over her own reproductive system... or if a consenting adult wants to have sex with another consenting adult of the same or different gender, and the consenting adults want to take pictures of said sex so that they can sell em to another consenting adult who wants to masturbate while looking at em...

The Candidate who comes out and says ENOUGH with this busybody crap of wasting everyone's tax dollars going after consensual adult activities... will have my vote for LIFE.

[NeedleCast]

74. Yup

[Seabiscuit]

63. I'd burn a cross

to defend everyone's right to porn. :)

[Warpy]

17. Dumb quiz when there were no "neither"

answers to the trust questions.

Also, no way to say government is too big and too small at the same time, in the wrong places.

[liberalnurse]

18. I got an 11.....

Hillary is a 10 while Bill is a 15..............I'm in good company.O8)

[lonestarnot]

23. Me too.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

48. 11 for me also

[lonestarnot]

60. Heh

:toast:

[Dark]

45. Me three! n/t

[susanna]

53. Me four! n/t

[jdadd]

19. I scored a 10....

Damn never thought I'd wish for a lower score on a test...:shrug:

[Sarah Ibarruri]

20. I'm more conservative than you. I scored an 8! :-) nt

[Speck Tater]

21. I scored 11, one point to the right of Hillary. nt

[BrotherBuzz]

22. Six - just a bit more conservative than Ted Kennedy

[NRaleighLiberal]

24. Solid 6 here. took this previously, same score. fun! nt

[minnesota_liberal]

25. I scored a 7. It's scary thinking anyone could score more than 50.

Anyone who's even slightly progressive should score 35 or less.

[Buzz Clik]

26. 16. One point away from the Big Dog. Good company.

[treestar]

57. Same here - another 16

[Flubadubya]

27. Scored an 8...

between Hillary and Bill? Go figure! :rofl:

Oops... between Ted Kennedy and Hillary. Hah, I think they've got Hillary way too far to the left. She at least ought to be on the other side of Bill, for gawd's sake! :)

[Warren DeMontague]

28. That is an idiotic fucking quiz.

It was obviously designed to churn out enthusiastic devotees of the "Contract with America" (being written in '94). I got a 6, but for the record I don't trust the FBI *or* the IRS.

[Colorado Progressive]

39. Then write us a better one :-) really

[Warren DeMontague]

43. Here's one that I find instructional, because it doesn't break things up on a merely right-left axis

http://politicalcompass.org

And, for the record, this is me:
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.97

[Colorado Progressive]

50. I tried that earlier, my access is forbidden ????

[Warren DeMontague]

54. That's weird. I don't know why you would get a message like that from the site.

:shrug: ???

[Malikshah]

84. Here's Me. I make Gandhi look like Thatcher...

:)
Economic Left/Right: -9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.31

Lower left Quadrant with all the malcontents...

[Colorado Progressive]

41. It could just say "how big of a fucking asshat are you" instead of beating around the bush

[Warren DeMontague]

46. I'm either a giant asshat, or I'm not an asshat at all

depending on whose side you're on. ;-)

[Colorado Progressive]

49. I always thought asshats were Repubs so I guess you arent one

[Warren DeMontague]

55. Sounds like we're on the same page.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Buzz Clik]

58. I love the way that an extreme liberal is given a 0 -- the high numbers go to the right of Reagan.

[minnesota_liberal]

68. Really? I didn't notice any questions about f*cking.

But it was flawed insofar as it didn't allow NOTA responses.

[SmokingJacket]

77. Yeah, the trust questions were dumb.

I don't trust institutions or groups; I trust individuals.

[Faygo Kid]

30. Another lucky 7 right here. From the 7th planet. We have flown here from Uranus..

Write your own joke; I will post this gratuitous space picture.

[terip64]

31. I'm a five. n/t

[DU GrovelBot]

[Dark]

47. OMG, Grovelbot got a 40!

:evilgrin:

[Buzz Clik]

59. Grovelbot is an effin' Freeper!

[Seabiscuit]

64. Gravebot's a friggin' infection under my skin!

[Imalittleteapot]

33. I got a Teddy 3 and I am currently backing

Joe Biden. Go figure.

[sutz12]

34. I'm a 5. Ted Kennedy, you're my hero!

:rofl:

[Liberal In Texas]

36. I'm a 6. However I think some of the questions were either loaded or not specific

enough.

For example:
The federal government is too big... yes or no.
Well that DEPENDS! We don't need the Department of Homeland Security or the Faith Based whats-it. BUT we do need a whole BIG health care system like medicare to take care of everybody.

Talk radio shows should be regulated to ensure both sides of a debate are represented, because talk radio has an unhealthy impact on the political process...yes or no.
Well, that DEPENDS TOO! If we stop the trusts, the monopolies, that are consolidating ownership, then no. Leave it alone. It's freedom of speech. But if only 3 or 4 large corporations own all the media in a city, then yes, maybe they should be regulated.

Deceptive political campaign commercials should be banned...yes or no.
On the face of it, one would say HELL YES. Given our experience with the swift-boaters with lots of $ to spend. But in political campaigns, a candidate should be able to say whatever that candidate wants to say. That is the DEMOCRATIC foundation of our society. Misleading or not, let the voter decide.

And finally, U.S. interests are more seriously at stake in Haiti than they are in Korea...agree disagree.
I firmly believe that things that happen in the Americas are just as important as the Korean problem. All MUST be dealt with. Cuba should be dealt with. Ecuador. Israel. Uzbekistan. Mexico. India. Canada. I could go on...But to put a priority on it? Each country has individual needs and concerns.

So, I'm a 6. I don't think the quiz was that well thought out.

[alfredo]

37. 7, but my wife says I'm a 10

[Stinky The Clown]

40. My Big Fat Lefty Six

[LostInAnomie]

42. I'm a 9.

Just to the left of Hillary.

[emilyg]

44. 18

[Booster]

51. Damn, I scored right in there with Hillary - don't know if that's good or bad.

[GardeningGal]

56. I'm a 10.

Probably the only time in my life I can honestly say that!!!!!

[Dervill Crow]

61. I scored a 9 -- Hillary Clinton??

This is interesting. I did a similar poll four years ago; wonder what my score was then.

[karynnj]

80. I got a 9 too

As that test and scale are from the 1990s, I think that Hillary would likely have moved to the right in that time. I think being to the right of Kennedy and to the left of the 1990s Hillary, is about right for a Kerrycrat! That may be where Obama is now.

[Seabiscuit]

62. 6 - I think it's because I trust trial lawyers more than doctors.

I have a feeling that hating trial lawyers is a right-wing thingy, that being the point of the question, but I'm just guessing.

Still, a 6 puts me closest to Ted Kennedy, which I don't mind one bit, given the choices.

[hfojvt]

65. uh-oh, I am shifting to the right

Last time I got an 8.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=1316604#1318129

This time I got a 9.

I blame DU :hide:

[Tektonik]

66. 6

:)

[ck4829]

69. Scored 2.

[rjones2818]

79. We twos need to stick together!

All of those weird right wingers have me scared, like the fives!

:evilgrin:

[marmar]

70. Trois, baby! Far left and proud!

:applause:

[Suziq]

71. I Scored a 6

:-)

[lisa58]

72. I got an 8

[Solly Mack]

73. 1

snort

[NeedleCast]

75. 15

I am Bill Clinton.

[SmokingJacket]

76. I'm a seven too.

Feels about right!

[RebelOne]

78. 13 between Hillary and Bill n/t

[Richard Steele]

82. I got a seven, but I had to leave several questions unanswered.

Players vs. team owners? :shrug:

Lawyers vs. doctors? :shrug:

And a few more that were just a bit vague...

[Malikshah]

83. I'm a 7, but the question on AIDs, and others need to be reworded.

It's a bit wonky.

[Liberal Lassie]

86. E gads! I got a 15. Did I flunk or pass?

[krispos42]

85. 7! n/t

[plcdude]

87. scored a 6

probably about right for me.
