Political Party Loyalty Test.

Taking the test for the party opposite your own will give you a more realistic summary of where your ideologies are.

I should probably become an Independent because I usually support who I think is the best person regardless of political affiliation.

Republican Loyalty Quiz
http://politicalhumor.about.com/libr...oyaltyquiz.htm

Your score is 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a solid Democrat. You are not as fiercely ideological or uncompromising as others in the party, but nonetheless remain a reliable supporter. If you could have your way, you'd like to see Democrats leaders take a slightly more accommodating approach on certain issues – and dial down some of their nakedly partisan and bitterly divisive rhetoric.

By choosing 'in a perfect world the US would be France' made me swing too far left wing. Choosing the 'Executing Ann Coulter' didn't help swing me any degree the other way either. I would not walk through fire to support a political agenda ever.

I was much more thoughtful with the republican test so I got a more truer result.

The Democratic Loyalty Quiz 10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to the Democrats Your score is 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a pure, unabashed, die-hard Democratic loyalist. You are appalled by the way Republicans are turning America into a theocratic, corpo-fascist police state, and you'd gladly walk through a furnace in a gasoline suit to elect a Democratic president. In your view, there is no higher form of patriotism than defending America against the Republican Party and every intolerant, puritanical, imperialistic, greed-mongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which it stands.

Democrat quiz:


Your score is 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a pure, unabashed, die-hard Democratic loyalist.

Pub quiz:

Your score is 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a devoted Democrat. You are quick to rally behind the party, even if you have not agreed with every decision Democratic leaders have made. The few differences you have are nothing compared to your complete and utter contempt for the Republican Party and the intolerance, fanaticism, and warmongering for which it stands.

Yep, sounds about right.

10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to the GOP Your score is 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a moderate. You agree with Republicans on some issues and Democrats on others, while rejecting the blind, naked partisanship of both sides. You base your vote on issues rather than ideology and principle rather than party, which makes you the quintessential swing voter the media loves to fawn over.

10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to the Democrats
Your score is 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a devoted Democrat. You tend to walk in lockstep with the party, even if you have not agreed with every decision Democratic leaders have made. The few differences you have are nothing compared to your complete and utter contempt for the Republican Party and the intolerance, fanaticism, and warmongering for which it stands




I have to note that there were at least 5 repeat questions that I answered the same way both times. also....in the democrat quiz, there were 2 questions that I didnt want to answer with any of the 4 choices offered.


i call shennanigans.

When I saw the repeat questions I stopped taking the tests. But I got 3/10 on the Republican one. Probably would have gotten close to 10 on the Dem one.

I agree shennanigans it is!

....but fun shennanigans

@ glatt

The repeat questions made me be more thoughtful during the second test which was opposite my party and received truer results.

Shawnees and LJ's don't seem fanatically over the top if even though the tests are a bit skewed.

OK, we weren't supposed to take this seriously, right?

So I went back and picked opposites, meaning the first question I took the obvious liberal answer and the next question the obvious conservative answer...until the end.

Guess what? I got a 5 out of 10. I iz a moderate! I had no IDEA that would happen. But now you all know, it has been scientifically proven, that I am the moderate extraordinaire.

Now let me bitch about Obama or Pelosi or the bailout or the recession or the recovery or Joe Schmoe from Kokomo who made a buck fifty last year or health care or partisans for a sec...did I say for a sec? I meant incessantly and on and on and on and on until everyone wants to smack me.

I took it and this is what I got;

Your score is 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a pure, unabashed, die-hard Democratic loyalist.
