1. I got the same results as you BUT
bear in mind that our answers used to be considered :Democratic". Now with the rightward shift of the party, we're labeled "far-left liberal".

3. I bet you have to be a member of the KKK to get far-right Conservative.

8. Can you say crock?
I got "liberal," but the answers were so obviously biased it is pathetic. A lot of the questions ahd the same answer twice, as in the question about putting the ten commandments up in public places, which had "no" twice, but with an addendum of one seemingly reasonable "live and let live" viewpoint and one knee-jerk anti-religious hateful one.

The real problem there bieng that it automatically labeled the knee-jerk hateful one the far left liberal. I got liberal instead of far left liberal only because I answered 2 of the questions with the "reasonable" option.

6. Another far left liberal.
But for some of the questions none of the choices exactly matched what I think, which is always a problem with multiple choice things like this.

I'm on the calling list for various consumer polls, and every so often I wind up having to terminate the poll because they simply aren't giving me choices that reflect what I think about the issue or item at hand.

9. bad graph
ask questions issues and you will find me on both extremes. That's what make us Americans. I'm for civil rights including gays and a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment. So I'm hard to label.

10. I just got Liberal meaning......
I believe(according to their system)that some things in society could definitely be improved, and I view social progress is key. I admirably hold this view without becoming rabid about it, which ironically shows me as far more genuine tolerance for differing views than my far-left cousin.

I think that's correct for me, I always considered a lot of my views on social matters pretty liberal, but I don't know about being more genuine than my "far-left" cousins.

17. I got far left too.
The thing is that I even said Death penalty for heinous crimes only as opposed to no death penalty. I also was dead set against racial profiling.

19. Really?
Edited on Sun Jan-25-04 02:44 PM by no one in particular
I consider myself a pro-life libertarian and yet it still pegged me right at liberal.


You must have had a "freeper moment" on one of those questions. :D

20. Far left but not enough questions
There were really not many questions to that survey and it left out many important issues. I do think that many National candidates are too moderate though.
