   I answered everything agree or disagree and did not mark anything “strongly” However, I think that the questions were not correct in many cases.

   It is like a question “Is the country moving in the correct direction?” and not differentiating between “It should be going more conservative” and “It should be going more liberal” in response to a no.

   Similarly, answers to people thinking that we were doing the “wrong thing” in Iraq did not differentiate between those who said more troops should be sent and those who said we should pull all the troops out.

   You are a

   Social Moderate

   and an…

   Economic Conservative
   (60% permissive)

   You are best described as a:

   Centrist

   You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness. loc: (0, 37)

   I’m a far-left, liberal, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, body-piercing, Obamabot… who supports Israel and is thoroughly disgusted with left anti-Zionism.

   Yup.

   I’m a Capitalist.

   I’ve been describing myself as a center/right libertarian so that sounds about right.

   They got my weight wrong, too. I came out economic and social liberal, and I don’t think they mean “economic liberal” in the classical sense. I also came out as “Democrat,” less than a month before I’ll be casting my first Republican vote for president.

   “Yet you support Palin. Odd.”

   Not nearly as odd as the “Obamabot” who “supports Israel and is thoroughly disgusted with left anti-Zionism”.

   Gary, I’m a liberal Democrat… not really an “Obamabot.”

   But what is inconsistent about being liberal and disgusted with left anti-Zionism?
