17 Seems about right. Close the middle but a little more liberal than conservative. If I would have taken this test 10 years ago I would have scored in the 30's.

Is that your score or the age of the chick you're banging?
I wish.
I got 15, but a lot of the questions I wanted a neither option that wasn't there so just picked a random answer, so the result might be askew.

My favorite questions:
QuoteWho do you trust more:
Professional athletes or
Team owners?
QuoteGraphic pornography should be banned.
Agree Disagree
My score:
25 - most conservative posted thus far - what do I win?
Naturally, generally being anti-government but erring to the conservative side means I'm a super whacko conservative.
Frankly, I just think the federal government is ridiculously inefficient and blood-sucking.
P.S. I trust team owners more, because athletes are usually much more physically gifted than mentally, however I would have selected *neither* if possible. Also, I DISAGREE that graphic pr0n should be banned.
16. The news media is dominated by liberals. Were is the question that the media is dominated by conservative?
27, imagine that.
What's amazing to be is how many people on this board so far are in the single digits or damn close, but no one's broken 30 yet.
I think if you're under 10 or above 30, you probably believe in a lot of things that are smoke and mirrors.
I tried to take the whole exam in the mindset of an uber-Liberal and scored a 2.
I wonder where I screwed up.
EDIT:
Figured it out...
Term Limits v. Public Financing
&
Regulation of Talk Show Hosts
I was able to score a 0. I can't believe the faith some of you in the single digits have in the government to solve our problems. It's actually frightening.
Less government is more better.
I have absolutely no faith in the government, run by either party. That doesn't mean that government programs shouldn't exist to help the underprivileged. That means we need to get rid of all the farging knuckleheads in our government.
Government is good.
I like the government stepping in with issues like smoking bans and stuff, but not for everything. There always has to be a balance, but for the most part the general public is stupid and I don't trust them making decisions either.
No one can be trusted in today's world.
Retarded quiz. But I ended up with a 20. Right in the middle, which doesn't really surprise me.
Bush agrees with you. That's why he'll refuse to abdicate in '09 and declare himself emporer, so that only one idiot is in charge.
Geebus, how do you score single digits on that test?
The test isn't too much of an accurate reflection of political leanings, considering how nuanced some of the choices can be.
I scored a 35; and I attribute that score to just not wanting government in a lot of the follow-up questions they posited. I hope no one picked that they trust the IRS more so than the FBI. At least you can prosecute FBI agents that act outside of their scope (i.e. beat you down) -- the IRS is practically immune and unchecked from ruining the lives of people financially.
Although I think of myself more libertarian minded -- very little government involvement (especially Federal), not much regulation, and I'm not delusional enough to think that some of those groups 'threaten democracy' or are detrimental to the political process -- so I get as close to advocating absolute free speech as possible; and yes, that means letting the loonies talk (the religious right being a 'threat' to the political system) and not regulating talk radio (who the hell came up with that question anyways?) and permitting deceptive political ads to be run (If anyone actually makes their choices for their elected representatives wholly on TV or radio ads, then I think that reflects poorly on the citizenry more so than the officials or candidates that use them. Remember, they wouldn't use them unless they were HIGHLY effective).
I've found that a fairly good rule of thumb is to trust no one for anything.
Yeah, that's probably a very good rule of thumb. But that wasn't really a choice on that quiz.
When forced to choose on a strictly either/or scenario, I'm going to err on the side of less government intervention probably 9 times out of 10.
I've found it also to be a very good rule of thumb not to put much faith in retarded Internet quizzes.

For the most part, I have to say... AMEN.
Oh yeah, and that whole porno question got the nod, too.
27, believe it or not.
And I agree, some of these questions are just bad. Who do I trust more, union leaders or business executives? NEITHER. They both have their own agendas and work towards that.
you people realize that its who do you trust more...not do you trust either
Government is good
yes

This is probably where my 27 comes in, but government is not good.
Limited government is good, but limited government's been gone since FDR (and maybe since his cousin Teddy).
C'mon, Geo. Limited gov't is gone because of FDR.

makes sense. im pretty moderate, but right now given the state of country, lean left.
Ugh, I abhor Unions. Maybe they served a purpose when the educational or informational gap was expansive during the early 20th century, but they are utterly useless now.
All they do is raise costs and act as an effective barrier to employment for people on the outside looking in. On top of that, I can't understand how union members can be satisfied with the efforts of their union. They withdraw funds from your paycheck to supposedly represent you during employment negotiations. But most union officials have proved to be wholly inept at doing that as well.
At least business executives have eyes towards expanding their capital endeavors and creating jobs and opportunites elsewhere. Now, not all business execs act ethically or optimally, but more do so than not. If they didn't, there would be no economic expansion; or at least economic expansion would be seriously impeded.
Business = good; government or other agencies meddling into the economy and in between the employer/employee relationship EXCESSIVELY = crappy

But without the New Deal, there'd be no symbol for Bert Bell to name his franchise after. So we got that going for us.

I'm an extreme libertarian -- one thin thread away from being a total anarchist -- so for me a lot of this quiz was like "Who should Mike Tyson rape? Your sister, your wife, or your mother?" Plus it's hard to take too seriously a quiz that can't even spell "Jesse Jackson" correctly.
I found it useless but I scored a 30 for those interested.
I prefer the way they spelled it, though.

Canadians don't count.
18. Basically dead center. Nuke the right. Burn the left.
I'm more surprised that a Canadian scored a 17.
Thought it would be lower.
15...right in line with my hero bill clinton.

Mine was 19. Middle... go figure.
I like the Libertarian ideas on some things. Federal government should have less say and state governments should have more in my opinion. Heck the only thing the federal government should be doing is military and foreign policy. All other programs should be run state by state because every area of the country has different needs.
16, no suprise to me since I am a moderate.
21. No surprise. Kill and maim those that are against me, but don't trust anyone.

I'm not a farging Canadian - I just live up here. Until June of last year, I never had a permanent residence outside of Pennsylvania.
I am surprised, however, how conservative some Canadians are. It might just be where I ended up, but this seems like Jesusville Canada. That being said, they are a lot more tolerant about it up here, and aren't as in-your-face about it. People just do their own thing. Personally, I think this is closer to my ideal than the ultra-liberal, ultra PC, tree-hugging commune some people make it out to be.

Colon Powell is the person i want to run for office the most but he seems too scared of being a target
Well, he's a black moderate Republican with an issue-riddled wife.
There basically isn't anyone who doesn't have something against him.

Powell also turns 70 this year. Not that he couldn't do it, but age becomes an issue in presidential elections.
Plus, it just seems as if he really has no desire for the job. And I can't blame him.

McCain turns 71 this year. So, yes, age will be an issue for him as well.
And the fact that he seems to be the standard bearer for the Republicans gives an idea of how rudderless their ship is right now. The only way he wins in 2008 is if Hillary runs.
