(1) How would you rate the Democratic Party (on a scale of 0 to 100)

40

(The above answers are not based on my political beliefs, but how organized and true to their standards each party is at the moment)[/b]

(3) When it comes to politics, do you usually think of yourself as extremely liberal, liberal, slightly liberal; moderate or middle of the road, slightly conservative, conservative, extremely conservative, or haven't you thought much about this?

At the moment, truly middle of the road

(4) Generally speaking, do you think of yourself as a Republican, a Democrat, an Independent, or what? Would you call yourself a strong Democrat/Republican or a not very strong Democrat/ Republican? Do you think of yourself as closer to the Republican Party or to the Democratic party?

Independent. At most times, agreeing a bit more with the Republicans. But lately on current issues, agreeing more with Democrats, but not much

(5) Do you think the federal government should make it more difficult for people to buy a gun than it is now, make it easier for people to buy a gun, or keep these rules about the same as they are now? A lot easier/more difficult or somewhat easier/more difficult?


Keep it as it is, but lift restrictions on some kinds of guns and ammunition. Harsher laws for misuse of those guns.

Todd considered it if you would RTFM.

I considered it also, and decided I don't give a toejam.  

Sad to say, it's arrogant and parochial behaviour like this that gives Americans a bad name.

It's retarded behavior like yours that justifies our arrogant and parochial behavior.

Hoo boy. Yes, I took the trouble to read. Yes, he said it was based on an American poll, but he aimed it at AHers in general. And those who take the trouble to seach my previous posts will find that I'm British and generally pro-American. Hence my disappointment in the OP.

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment, but it's still no reason to accuse me of arrogance.  You are certainly welcome to answer any of the questions that you wish, but realize that I can't include those responses in my final analysis.  The reason for this is methodological; the baseline in European countries is quite different than in America due to cultural differences, so a "moderate" Belgian might be considered "liberal" by American standards.  There's just no way to control for that with the very rudimentary analysis I'm going to do, so I'm going to have to exclude non-American responses.  That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see them, but they won't be counted in my final analysis.

Who would be reading this board other than folks that play AH?
