I got a little ways through and stopped for now, but it looks interesting. I like that they give you more and more nuanced options if you opt for "choose another stance." If you choose that often enough, they then offer to show you all the options from the get go.

Test.

Looks interesting. I didn't get far into it, but the questions have more than "yes or no" answers. For example I'm pro life, however I don't believe it is my right to force another to live by my standard. There's an option for that.

not only that you can choose how important each question is to you, on a scale of 1 - 5. Its a great quiz, I enjoyed it

As expected with the exception of Green being my 2nd highest score since for the most part I think their environmental stances are completely stupid and counter-productive. I rate Libertarian, Green, Democrat, Republican.

I'm surprised how much I agree with the Democrats. I'm not surprised how little I agree with Republicans.

For many folks, if Democrats would simply tamp down on their more populist and redistributionist tendencies, they'd be the widely accepted option. But unfortunately for every Bill Clinton economic realist, you seem to have just as many Democrats who want to play Robin Hood with middle class being the source of the goodies they distribute. In many cases they're taking from the middle class to give to the rich as well as the poor.

Democrat - 76%
Green Party - 75%
Libertarians - 51%
Socialist - 44%
Republicans - 7%

I'm a little bit surprised that Democrat is so high since I find myself objecting to a lot of their recent policy decisions. Not at all surprised that Republican is so low.

Thinking about this result makes it pretty close to the result I have in my signature with the other test.

Looking over at the party affiliation responses they have a few messed up comparisons though going on.

I just happened to click on the Green Party. They list the questions with answers you "sided" with that party on and questions you were against. One question was on removing troops from Afghanistan. Green Part answer was Yes. Mine was Yes, but still maintain diplomatic support. Which on most of the others, if you picked a slightly yes or no response close to the party response it said you sided with them. That was an instance where it flubbed.

not a very good poll because the LP has been compromised to be the same as the Wilsonian Democrats and the Neo-Republicans and also because there are intra-party differences between members.

Green Party, Libertarian and Socialist. Merciful heavens, I didn't realize there actually is a Green Party or that it has actual postions.

Sure as heck isn't going to be a successful party of any kind.

So, I like wacko losers?

Explains a lot.

What people say and do are two different things. Republicans have said for the last 30 years that they support smaller government, but they've never actually done it. Compare governor Bush and President Bush. Someone spliced videos together to make it look like a debate because the two were radically different. Obama seemed like a hopeful guy, and I voted for him the first time, but he turned into Bush. Governor Romney and presidential candidate Romney were polar opposites on almost every issue. None of the people in power actually believe the stuff they say. Nobody ran on a platform of "we're going to abolish the constitution, stop and frisk with no probable cause, and tap your phone without a warrant."
