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

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

I wonder how many Republican on the USMB are "TeaNUTZ"?

Hmmmm....Good question. The survey doesn't analyze for douchebags.

There you go take from it what you will kind of strange results considering I do watch some of the FOX News people.

I don't have to watch Fox. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert do it for me.

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 worst nightmare. Because I won't take the test.

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.

Why wouldn't they? They get excellent health care as part of their sentence.

They don't analyze for Redneck, so it's probably best.

Well that explains a lot.

I agreed with the Libertarians most, with the GOP a very close second, and with the Democrats on zero issues.

I agreed with the Libertarian Party on Healthcare issues.
I agreed with the Republican Party on Economic issues.
I agreed with the Republican Party on Immigration issues.
I agreed with the Green Party on Science issues.
I agreed with the Libertarian Party on Domestic Policy issues.
I agreed with the Republican Party on Environmental issues.
I agreed with the Libertarian Party on Social issues.

 

[Glensather]

The only surprise is the socialist thing, where apparently I agree with the socialists by wanting to.,. privatize... healthcare? I don't understand this poll's view of socialism.

Also apparently the Path to Citizenship is socialist.

 

[National Socialist]

44%Republicans
Republicans
on social and immigration issues
44%Socialist

Not a surprise. I don't agree with any of the parties.

Most of the questions are poorly worded.

Agreed. There were a whole lot of questionable questions -- abortion... death penalty... evolution... things that have nothing to do with politics. The rest tended to be oversimplified.

Btw I think what you meant earlier was when you answered as a person who agrees with Fox News/MSNBC -- rather than "watches". There's a difference.

 

[blackhawk]

Just curious if you didn't like any of the choices given you could put in your own response I did that on several questions did anybody else?

Those have everything to do with politics.

No, they really don't. Those are religious questions. Politicians may co-opt them but they're being disingenuous when they do.

No I didn't. Should have on several but none of those parties represent what I believe in so.

I agree with the Democrats 0%. I agreed with the greens (8%) and socialists (4%) more. Wow, no one would be surprised by that. It validates what I always say, the Democrats are wrong on every issue. Now it's proven.

I was split between Libertarian and Republican. This quiz included pretty much every issue I disagree with the Libertarians on, so that's probably pretty accurate for the content of the quiz. Anyway, my biggest issue with the Republicans on fiscal issues is not what they say but what they do. If I were grading the quiz, I'd repeatedly ding agreement with the Republicans on that. It's easy to talk, and that's what they do. Though on social and military I'm gong to be a lot more aligned with the Libertarians.

I'm mildly surprised that according to this I'd be considered a socialist but nothing else here I'm surprised about

Science is not a religious question.

So you agree with "let him die"?
