Anyone know of any sites that offer tests that can tell you which political party your views are shared ?
-

Just remember: Vote Giant sweetheart, he's not a **** sandwich

worlds shortest political test (http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz.html)

You're a Compassionate Liberitarian Liberal. NEXT!

Thanks JB88, says im a Centrist. DOH!
Ok I'll post my views. Not sure what to post. And yes Im freely walking into the landmine feild also known as BBS politcs.
-All people should support its leader no matter what party after an election.
-Yes Bush is dumb, but think Kerry would have been worse.
-Military should be looked higher upon. Not often looked down upon.
-Not very religous
-Could care less if gays get married, dont care, dont want to know.
-Im Pro Choice
-I support the war in Iraq on the basis now that we cannot leave and will make the best of it. I supported the war in the beginning on the basis of the whole WMDs deal. Now I simply support it beacause thats what our troops need the most.
-I believe we should start the taking back of jobs for U.S. citizens from forgien nations.
-(Dont know if this is political) I believe that the UN is outdated and useless beyond its AID to forgien nations in trouble, and Im beginning to question that now a days.
-Taxes should be rethought, less breaks for the rich, help more lower middle class and poor.
Anything else ask. This is what I believe and yes I imagine I will be slammed for it.
-
And if you havnt noticed Im very pro military.

there is an age old problem that remains in man. that we will stick to our guns irregardless of whether or not we have been proven to be wrong or we know deep within us that we are mistaken or uninformed. this is the worst form of intellectual excercize because it involves pride rather than mind.
less pride. more mind. thats my motto.
change is never easy.
i actually had the privelage of driving in ronald reagans motorcade at one point, so i think we can safely say that i come from republicans....i have always been one.
but, i didnt vote for bush and i have switched my voter registration to independent.
i simply couldnt rationalize his mentality, his obvious lack of respectfulness to others and his disasterous inability to speak to the hearts and minds of his own people much less the world.
i was embarrased by his defensiveness at the first debate, feeling that he somehow had forgotten that civil service is what it says....service. it is not meant to be exclusive, divisive or extreme. a president is a leader, a man who speaks to his people rather than avoids them or relies upon others to defend him as if he were a child.
a president is one who serves all people. not some.
the greatest tradition of america is that it has always taken the role of the mutt rather than the purebred. in its greatest moments, in its most championed philosophies have been idealistic. in its greatest advances it has always believed in the betterment of all mankind rather than a crown of exclusivity. there is a rancid stench in our country now that pervades every corner. it is defensive, unproductive and stunted. it smells of pride. it smells of priveldge and exclusivity and spite.
in colonial america, i believe there was one overriding issue that it came down to. the one thing that allowed this country to progress at the speed and with the veracity that it has... americans do not believe in kings, nor the transferance of sovriegnty through the supposed will of god.
i think hes a dolt quite frankly, and most americans that i know, even those who support him as party liners feel pretty much the same way.
further, i have come to find that the republican party, who once championed smaller government and civil liberty have become entrapped by special interests and corporate lobbies which actually represent a small minority of american values. essentially, this would
be similar to saddams rule in iraq where a religious minority ruled the majority.
my first fear, and one that i am glad to say seems to be waning was that someday i might actually become a dissident in my own country.
i would much rather die than give up my priveledge to speak my mind. to disagree with government or corporate interests or to cow to the whim of those who are small minded and unwilling to live by example.
my grandfather, a lifelong republican emailed me prior to the election and said that "while he was to old to switch horses" , if he could, hed be interested in hearing what the libertarians have to say.
i have taken this as a mandate.
and although i am not fully in line with the libertarian party, they have come to represent what i think is best about america.
live and let live.
i will be actively campaigning for them come next election.

I'm with you on this. I'm tired of the Democratic party and their stubborn behavior, and I'm even more tired of the Republican party and its almost fascist behavior as of the last 60 years (say what you will about this people, but you know it's true, with your "values" and all).
If I were old enough, I'd have voted for Badnarik.
My score on that test was 100%/80%, by the way.

it said that I transend normal political defenitions and am godlike in my wisdom. A person fit not only to rule the world but to run each and every one of the lives of people on flight sim BB's
but... they could be wrong.

im just guessing, but i would imagine that you ride a crotch rocket.
big truck too?
-
What does riding a crotch rocket signify? Conservative or Liberal?
Have you ever ridden one? Just curious....
I took the test and was a 70/30 liberal (70 personal/30 economic).
To me "liberal" was always a dirty word, but I felt better after I read this:
http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz-score/liberal-whatliberal-define.html
Still I don't think I'd fit it with liberals based on my views of government spending, gay marriage, and gun control. But then I don't fit in with conservatives for the same reason.
I think of Laz as more of an El Camino guy, and probably a Harley rider. He appreciates good products made by Americans; reminders of a simpler time.

im a "liberal statist"

its significance is non-political.

Are you a complete retard, or are you just trying to be a horse's ass? This test is for people from any country, not just ours.
Looks to me like somebody didn't finish High School, much less get in.
