I know this has been done to death, but we've never done it with Polls before.


I'm right wing, btw.

I'm too liberal for the conservatives and too conservative for the liberals...

Far left, comrades!
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Aww, there's no option for "I'm with whatever party agrees to drag the maker of the political ideologies thread out into the street, pee on him, then skin him alive". Darn.

because why?

You don't need a reason to pee on someone and skin them alive. You need a reason to cast Tony Danza in a made-for-TV movie, but not for this.

I just took a number of political quizzes and discovered my political views mimic those of Ghandi. :D slight left/slight libertarian.

Why is Bush the fartest right? He is a "compassionate conservative", at least according to himself. I would vote that, but I dislike Bush a great deal.
2004-09-05, 4:00 PM #14
Heh, you could add another axis to politics.. compassion on one end, and cruelty on the other. Bush, however, doesn't strike me as very compassionate.

Whatever bush calls himself, he is, nonetheless, to the extreme right.

I put Heil Bush instead of Heil Hitler just in case someone got pissed off at seeing that b@stard's name.

It would appear that I'm the only republican on these boards. No wonder i have so many enemies. :)

Politics isn't a line. It's a circular continuum.
Democracy: rule by the stupid
2004-09-05, 4:10 PM #18
Actually, it's more like a grid.
2004-09-05, 4:15 PM #19
No, it's a circle. A grid implies rigid sections of thought in and between all the ideologies when in reality they gradually flow into one another. A grid also implies some things as more extremist as others, as shown by the corners which are farther from the center than the sides of the square. If you were to plot someone's general political thought on a square, it would be distorted because of such.

2004-09-05, 4:21 PM #20
Ah, I see. So if you took that grid and distorted the corners in, that would be how it really is... right?

That's what I have seen professional analysts call him. And I can't disagree. He only calls himself (now) compassionate conservative because of the election. I guess it sounds better than far right to many. However, I'm not American so this doesn't really concern me so much, of course.

"Like fools, we clung to the old hatreds, and fought as we had for generations. Until the day the sky rained fire, and a new enemy came among us. We stand now upon the brink of destruction..."

Many here will recognize that, but let's leave Thrawn puzzled ;)

Sorry for the irrelevant post...

No offense, but I think your poll has really ****ty options. Terms like 'right' and 'left' have no meaning without context. I have economic libertarian leanings, yet I am not right-wing. Socially speaking I am fairly liberal, yet I am not left-wing. And so on..
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

okay, what choices would you have posted?
2004-09-05, 8:19 PM #30
I voted moderate because it's what best fits me, but I'm liberal in some areas and conservative in others.

I too am a conservative. Though I don't frequent these forums enough to be considered a reliable ally.

Bush is far right-wing? Come now, that's foolishness. Sure, economically he could be considered a supply-side conservative, but his 'compassionate conservative' slogan is really quite accurate, if you realize that 'compassionate' is slang for 'progressive'. Farm subsidies, No Child Left Behind, Medicare, etc... Bush is hardly a small government, budget-cutter conservative. At least he's willing to cut taxes quite a bit, though. Kudos for that.

Fortunately, his foreign policy is fantastic. Hurray for a President with gonads! As far as I'm concerned, he can spend money as much as he wants, as long as he'll also be kickin' some mighty-huge terrorist behind in the process.
Self-righteous people are more sinful than I am.

Holy crap! It's Cougar.. I remember those arguments you used to get into with Morat.. man, you had to stand way back in a flame-proof vest. Hehe.. Anyway.. Yeah, what you said there totally makes a *ton* of sense to me.. well.. the first part anyway. You lost me on that terrorist ***-kicking part.

I've been told I make G. Gordon Liddy look like a communist.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.
2004-09-06, 11:21 AM #35
Ah yes, Morat. Good times. Those debates did tend to get a little ugly, though... :D Whatever happened to that guy?

Don't let my fondness of terrorist-slaughtering scare you, I'm just goofy that way. I'm in favor of anyone that will ensure that many a terrorist receives a free lead-based nose job with a U.S. Marine's M-16, and I frankly don't think Kerry is the kind of guy that will let that happen too often. And I really don't have the time to take care of it all myself.

I guess I could be considered a single-issue voter. For some people, it's abortion. Others, the environment. Me, a foreign policy that is proactive in the area of killing those who would glady deal out death to American citizens. Unfortunately, that's not nearly as concise as simply saying 'environment.'
Self-righteous people are more sinful than I am.

Bush is not extreme right at all. I can't think of a less conservative Republican president. You must be very uninformed if you think that. His policies are not extreme right, nor is what he does. I think Bill Clinton would have gone into Iraq. So far he's been accused of being extremely conservative, because he invaded Iraq. That’s not liberal or conservative. It's just something that needed to be done. All the friction about the war in Iraq is just a bunch of stupid politics. Just like Kerry's Vietnam war record. I wish those morons up in Washington would start *gasp* discussing actual issues.
2004-09-06, 11:32 AM #37
I think Morat got banned and he never came back after that.

When Kerry has made the central focus of his whole campaing his service in vietnam, I think its fair game. Plus most of this bashing of his war record is from groups like the Swift boat vets, Bush himself has said that Kerrys service is honorable and he is thankful for it.

Agreed. To me, kerry seems like a guy that will be down on his knees giving head to the UN most of the time.

Not quite as tactful as I might have stated it, but I'll go along with that. ;)
