I played with it several times to get a feel for how it was weighted. It was much too simple and the questions lacked appropriate choices. My 34 was even after pro-choice and gay marriage positive votes. It was basically a choice of whether you wanted a big government. I don't.

Noone, if I had to guess, one difference between your score and my score would have had to do with banning misleading political ads and regulating talk radio.
I would also guess that some of our friends on the right would agree that Pat Robertson is more extreme than Jocelyn Elders - or at least called it a tie.
I would also suspect that some of us on the left put more trust in the Joint Chiefs than in the UN.

Yes and No. I do not support misleading political adds but I do support the first amendment hence I have no problem with Rush or anyone running their mouth. I do not believe in shutting up the the other side, I believe in keeping the discourse honest.

Terrible quiz. I got a nine, but I left lots of answers blank. I don't know how that affects things.

It's probably really stupid for a newbie to start with a political test, but I'm in for a 32.
I think that as soon as you respond to smaller govt and no faith in the UN, the poll scorer algorithm shoots you way past Reagan. Not neccessarily true. I believe there are many TRUE liberals out there that want to reclaim the title of liberal for the good of Thoreau and the founders, who also generally distrust dictation from Washington or the UN.

Welcome. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about liberal democracy. Merrylander reminds us from time to time that the current GOP cannot accurately be called conservative. It sounds like you might follow that line of thought, but don't let me put works in your mouth.
Do you come here from AudioKarma, or did you just happen to stumble upon a bunch of political junkies?
Regards,
D-Ray

True, but I must say you have a great score. <g> The left likes big government because it gives them things and at someone else's expense. A quick look at the economic calamity in California demonstrates what is in store for the rest of the country once the wanton disregard for business occurs. We watch as businesses move to more friendly locales, thus, taking those middle class jobs with them. This, together with our ultra liberal stand on illegal immigration, has polarized society along socio-economic lines.
