On the Issues Quiz

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I didn't like a lot of their wording either, but going by the descriptions:



Personal Score 51%
Economic Score 49%

you're a perfect example of a moderate and a centrist. See Keystone Phil, this is what moderates are like, also people like Nation. Not htmldon. That's why I consider anyone to the right of don to be an extremist.

I never said nini isn't a moderate. I think Don would be pretty close to him.

no, don is much further right, at least economically.

He still wouldn't make it out of the moderate box so saying anyone to the right of Don is an extremist is foolish.

name a forum member you would consider a right wing extremsit. Do Philip, Richius, AuH2O or StatesRights count?

Philip and Richius seem pretty extreme.

but AuH2O, who is a big fan of Le Pen and apartheid South Africa isn't?

I didn't say that. I was just pointing out the most extreme members which include Philip, Richius and AuH2O.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

well then what are some far right views Philip and Richius have that you don't? I've already covered AuH2O's I guess.

[Keystone Phil]

Hasn't Philip stated in the past that people should have 1/3 acre of land before voting or something along those lines? Richius stated that he wanted to close 95% of the federal government.

Nevermind Republican or Democrat - wouldn't that make him a Federalist?

[Moooooo]

Im a little suprised by my score, but I guess thats about right.  I think I need to re-take the Political Compass quiz because I have moved a little to the right on some social issues.

[TeePee4Prez]

Like I've said in the past I am no fan of these political quizzes and do not look at them and automatically think "Well this quiz tells me I'm here so I'll believe this, this and this." I also don't think there were enough questions provided. I've taken this quiz in the past and have always gotten around the same result as I did this time so here it is...

I knew I was more moderate than you!

You scored the following on the PoliticsMatch questions:

Like I said, I don't look at this and say "Oh so and so is more liberal, more conservative or more moderate than me." I really doubt you're more moderate than me.

This test has me as more moderate than other tests.

No offense, but you're about a few standard deviations away from the mainstream poltics of Northeast Philadelphia (moreso on economics, somewhat on social issues) and PA 13 as a whole for that matter.  I'm not going to lie to you, I am to the left of the NE on social issues, but far from alone.

I know I'm not the perfect example of an NE Philadelphian. You're not surprising me with that, Flyers. I also realize I am not your average PA 13 resident but I'm not as extreme as you make me out to be.

I'd also like to note that they're more social conservatives like me in the NE than there are social liberals like yourself in my opinion.

(A Moderate Conservative)

[nclib]

Personal Score  70%  
Economic Score  10%  

I'm not sure how they calculate these numbers--my description shows my economic positions to be more moderate than my social ones.

[ian]

Personal Score    61%
Economic Score    20%

This is my favourite online political quiz, much better than the PC.  I do think the wording is crappy, and they leave out important issues, but it is SOOOO much better than the Political Compass just because of relevancy.

Hasn't Philip stated in the past that people should have 1/3 acre of land before voting or something along those lines? Richius stated that he wanted to close 95% of the federal government.

Richius said in another post that he was bisexual; I guess that excludes him from extremism.
