I was emailed this site

www.politopia.com

Take the quiz, it is kind of fun, and it divides the political landscape, into four quadrants then places you according to your answers.

2. my results
"South-You are a Southerner-an egalitarian-which means that you advocate an increased role for the government in the economic realm. You are more or less pleased the government's role in the personal realm. Jesse Jackson"

3. Nonsense poll
The government should:

A Create and operate state-owned enterprises to promote national economic and environmental goals.
B Promote national business and environmental goals through extensive use of subsidies, tax breaks, regulations, and tariffs.
C Maintain current level of corporate regulation and support to protect national business interests and promote environmental goals.
D Cut back on subsidies, tax breaks, regulations, and tariffs.
E Eliminate subsidies, tax breaks, regulations, and tariffs -- eliminate corporate welfare.

What, we can't do eliminate subsidies and tax breaks (the definition of corporate welfare) without removing regulations?

AND

They call Bush a centrist!

4. yet another Libertarian crock

You cannot quantify a persons beliefs and feelings with a bunch of poorly worded questions.

6. Whatever the motivations of the creators, a poll like this ...
is meaningless. Some of the questions had answer categories of dubious ordinality. A reasonable poll would have had maybe 100 items, asking for strong agreement through strong disagreement on single topics. But it was still fun, and I liked where it classified me.

10. ok, I'm lost
where should they be?

They were both leaders of totalitarian police states bent upon world control(not domination)

While they were not identical, or even very similar personally, they shared alot of the same methods and goals.

So, again, I ask, why woudl they NOT be in thesame quadrant?

5. Off in the 'southwest' with:
democratic socialists, anarcho-syndicalists, and ... Ralph Nader? Actually, I placed close to Jesse Jackson.
