The Political Quiz

[zrinkill]

Since the debates have been pretty heated the last few days. I thought it would be fun to find out If people are as bad as the people they argue with claim.

I scored a 32 answering honestly.

Anyone else have the stones?

[Cajuncowboy]

OMG I scored a 32 as well.

That's too funny.

Now if Silver Bear or Concord score that we need to shut that site down. :laugh2:

BTW, would anyone in their right mind agree with #22?

I would have scored even more liberal if they would have asked about pot or music or censorship.

I disagreed with #20 but because I like Brainpaint and didn't want to see him go crazy. :D

[PosterChild]

31 for me.

Also my IQ.

[Cajuncowboy]

Of course she was good looking; ugly chicks don't get Botox to retain their ugly, hot chicks do, in an attempt to retain their beauty.

[Dallas]

I got a boring and measly 24. :(

[DallasFanSince86]

27 for me.

[PosterChild]

Finally. The voice of reason shows up.

[BrAinPaiNt]

20...now would anyone guess I would be right down the middle. :laugh2:

[Bizwah]

You're such a bleeding-heart liberal.

I scored a 33.

But I knew I would. Funny thing is, most of my friends would probably score HIGHER than me.

[Danny White]

37.

Y'all are a bunch of squishes. :D

[Sasquatch]

Lame quiz. I don't trust union leaders or business executives. Same goes for professional athletes and team owners.

14 for what it's worth.

I agree. The word "trust" is kind of a strange word to pick there. Maybe who do you tend to sympathize with more... or who do you have a more favorable opinion of. I substituted those words mentally when I answered it.

I scored a 14. I know you are surprised. :)

But yeah, #22 is just crazy....

John Kerry disagrees with both of you!


Kerry joins 'Fairness Doctrine' chorus
Also wants to bring back equal-time provisions

John Kerry openly stated his support of the overturned "Fairness Doctrine" that required broadcasters in America to "afford reasonable opportunity for the discussion of conflicting views of public importance."

The Federal Communications Commission overturned the rule in 1987 because it failed to accomplish its purpose of encouraging more discussion of controversial issues. More notably, concerns were raised over the constitutionality of the doctrine because many believed it violated First Amendment free speech rights.

"I think the fairness doctrine ought to be there, and I also think equal time doctrine ought to come back," he said on the Brian Lehrer show on WNYC.

Kerry's remarks can be heard in a recording posted by the Drudge Report.

"These are the people that wiped out … one of the most profound changes in the balance of the media is when the conservatives got rid of the equal time requirements and the result is that they have been able to squeeze down and squeeze out opinion of opposing views and I think its been a very important transition in the imbalance of our public eye," Kerry argued.

(Story continues below)

Kerry also favored reinstating the Equal Time Rule, which requires television and radio stations to allocate equal airtime to political candidates.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, recently introduced in Congress a plan to revive the Fairness Doctrine.

Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., said this week she is considering the possibility of bringing it back.

"Well, I'm looking at it, as a matter of fact … because I think there ought to be an opportunity to present the other side," said Feinstein in an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. "And unfortunately, talk radio is overwhelmingly one way."

29 here, don't care for the labels though. That is unless there was a party called the "Keep the government out of my day to day living and out of my pocket" party, then that label would be OK.

[arglebargle]

John Kerry disagrees with both of you!


Kerry always struck me as being kind of naive. I watched him at some length holding senate enquiries, and he asked questions that showed precious little grounding in things that someone at his position should have known.

Wasn't my choice.....


Gotta be careful of those nice sounding bills that lead down that slippery slope...

[Duane]

A little to the left, but not too far, just like real life. Scored a 17.

[Dallas]

A little to the left, but not too far, just like real life. Scored a 17.

Here I was thinking you and I could be friends. But a 17?

Too bad so sad Duane. I know you can do better. :D

BTW if you guys score lower than a 20 (Paints borderline) then we just can't hang out.

All my friends are 20 and > :(




:laugh2: :laugh2:

[Jon88]

I scored a 22.

[iceberg]

I got a notch above Colin Powell. 21.
What do I win?

man. i didn't want to tell anyone i got a 22. thanks for taking the lead vta!

[silverbear]

Lame quiz. I don't trust union leaders or business executives. Same goes for professional athletes and team owners.

14 for what it's worth.

Yeah, a lot of those questions, I wasn't comfortable with either alternative... but doing the best I could, I got a 16...

Which seems to suggest I'm a moderate who leans liberal... that's pretty much how I see myself, so even if I didn't like the questions, I won't quibble with the results...

I'll trust a professional athlete over a team owner any day.

Sorry you didn't like the quiz.

Does this mean I'm not your Alaska buddy any more?? :bang2:

[Jon88]

man. i didn't want to tell anyone i got a 22. thanks for taking the lead vta!

22 is a great score IMO.

[hairic]

I got a 13.

Then again, I just got done reading reddit, so that probably skewed it. :laugh2:

[Heisenberg]

11 ftw.

[Hostile]

I have no idea how to answer some of these. I mean no earthly clue.

[Dallas]

11 FTLOSE.


Fixed

[Heisenberg]

http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

Another. I get:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.10

That places me between Nelson Mandela and The Dalai Lama. Ha.

[silverbear]

31 for me.

Also my IQ.

I heard that Joszef Goebbels only scored a 29... :D

[ConcordCowboy]

OMG I scored a 32 as well.

That's too funny.

Don't worry the site is safe. :D

I scored a 16

[Heisenberg]

Alright. I retook it and tried not to answer as far left as possible. I still only got a 14 though.

That's a very either/or quiz though.

I really fall in the small government side of things, but I want help readily available for those who need it. They kind of oppose each other. :D Lets just say I'm a really screwed up individual when it comes to politics.

[Dallas]

There wasn't an owned picture of Jospeh Stalin they could use to assign the lucky 13 to. So ummmmm this will have to do.

GratZ.

[ologan]

27 for me also, although I firmly believe my politics are a little to the right of,say.....Vlad the Impaler,or Atilla the Hun!

[heavyg]

I scored a 27. I honestly thought I would get a higher score.

[superpunk]

17, *****es.

[PosterChild]

I heard that Joszef Goebbels only scored a 29... :D


He was largely misunderstood.

[Hostile]

I finally made up my mind on some questions.

24.

[Rackat]

Scored a 28

[vta]

[PosterChild]

:laugh2:

But seriously folks, I cannot believe I scored to the right of some of you guys. I should probably retake the test. I'm actually somewhat liberal on some social issues, somewhat conservative on other (mostly foreign policy, military) and moderate on a majority of issues.

[PosterChild]

29 on the second go round.

Perhaps, but I've really enjoyed it...

[Vintage]

I scored a 29.

[kTXe]

17. Sounds about right.

[silverbear]

Maybe it means that you're-- gasp!-- MODERATES...

I said anyone in their right mind.

Kerry doesn't count. :D
