Are You REALLY a Rightie...Or a Leftie? Or Something Else

[bripat9643]

I posted this on a different thread, but really, do this. Take the test. The results will surprise you.

2013 Political Quiz

I took it. I side more with the Green Party by 88%. Answer the questions honestly and use the "How important is this to you?" slider scale to get complete accuracy.

Your quiz isn't accurate. It lists me as being more closely aligned with Republicans than libertarians - probably because I'm opposed to granting any kind of legal status to illegal immigrants.

It also claims I'm more closely aligned with Republicans on the issue of healthcare. However, my answers make it clear that I totally reject Obamacare, and I'm not aware that libertarians support Obamacare in any fashion.

They also list environmental issues as something I align with Republicans on. However, again, I don't know any libertarians who believe Global Warming is a problem or that the federal government should regulate greenhouse gases.

Basically, the test is horse manure.

Introspection is a bitch, isn't it?

What does "introspection" have to with anything? I simply pointed out that your survey is based on faulty premises. Of course, virtually everything you believe is based on faulty premises.

You might consider the people doing the quiz might have a different definition of what a socialist is.

Mine was with immigration and science. I guess allowing illegal immigrants a path to citizenship is "socialist" and not being sure about "global warming" and allowing 'non-fetus' stem cell research is "socialist" as well.

Here's another "socialist" concept:
Should the United States end its trade embargo and travel ban on Cuba? i

Socialist: Yes, end embargoes with all countries and allow U.S. businesses to do business with any country

Your similar answer: Yes

Now to me, that would be a Libertarian concept and not a socialist concept.............

 

[Pheonixops]

Another "socialist" answer:
Should there be term limits set for members of Congress? i

Socialist: No, legislating is a complicated process that could be thrown into turmoil if too many congressman do not have enough experience

Your similar answer: No

I am curious to know what this pollster considers the death penalty to be. I am guessing the anti-death penalty position is considered to be a Left wing position. But conservative Catholicism is opposed to the death penalty, so it is wrong to assume someone who is opposed to the death penalty is aligned with the Left.

Myself, I believe the death penalty process is seriously broken right now, regardless of my personal religious convictions.


The question about the 2008 bailot is also too ambiguous. I think people of all political stripes support it, and people of all political stripes oppose it.

I believe these two question skew the results.

Most of the questions are poorly worded.

good Question because I am tottaly anti Death penalty. Death is to easy, let them rot in jail for life.

A convict would much rather spend life in jail than be executed. That is why they fight execution tooth and nail.

So your premise is flawed.
