No surprise that I'm about even with the Democrats and Greens, but still more Democratic. Although I was surprised that I agree with Republicans on 7% of issues and Libertarians 34% considering I only agree with them on tougher drug laws, continuing to make marijuana illegal and a few science issues....

Ok I did it, but there doesn't seem to be any way to 'finalize it', to get the results, to bring it to fruition...

In regards to the Presidency which I just noticed, I got 76% for Green candidate Jill Stein from mostly foreign and economic issues over Democratic President Barack Obama where I got 68% from mostly social and healthcare issues. I also got 62% for Justice candidate Rocky Anderson, 43% for Libertarian Gary Johnson, and 13% for Ron Paul lol all again from mostly foreign issues. I scored really low with Constitution candidate Virgil Goode at 10% and 5% for Mitt Romney. So basically, I support the Democratic Party more than the Green Party, but support the most recent Green candidate than the most recent Democratic candidate Obama has done which isn't shocking since Obama definitely has more conservative-like views than Stein on things like drones.  

As for my Ohio Senate race, I ended up with 71% for Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown, 24% for Republican Josh Mandel, and 4% for Independent Scott Rupert. I agreed with Mandel on things like withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, expanding Obamacare (although he doesn't support as many parts to it as I do), not getting involved in Sudan, and shockingly quite a bit of shared liberal views on some domestic, environmental, and science issues.

They didn't even get my Ohio House race right though because where I live, our 10th district got redistricted into the 9th district where Rep. Marcy Kaptur defeated Tea Party Republican Joe the Plumber last year. So I got 59% of shared views with Democratic candidate Sharen Neuhardt on immigration, healthcare and science issues, 34% from Libertarian David Harlow on mainly foreign policy, and 17% from Republican Rep. Mike Turner on no major issues.

There should be a tab in the upper right-hand corner that says: "Share your results" with an envelope to the right of it. It works for Facebook, Twitter, Email, and as an IMG. Although the site doesn't allow on the Presidential and Congressional results to share it via IMG, only the party results do.

I side with no one.  

Still, as a practical matter, I took the poll:  I'm with the Greens on immigration, foreign, social, and science.  I'm with the Libertarians immigration, foreign, domestic, healthcare, and economic.  I'm with the Democrats on immigration, science, social, environment, and domestic.  I'm with the Socialists on immigration and social.  I'm with the Republicans on economic and healthcare.

Apparently, even though I think it is populated with wackos and I can't imagine ever giving them any money, I'm mostly with the Green Party overall (85%).

Our results are interstinly similar.  If the poll included preferred libations, we might be twins.  Smiley

I weighed all the issues as medium. Maybe I shouldn't have? Does anyone here really think that Torie or myself agree with Democrats more than Republicans?

haha.  We didn't see the vodka martini question, but that might be because we had already drunk too many vodka martinis by the time we took the poll.  Smiley

Well, this is fun, but the two guys who wrote the poll are a Green Party guy and a Libertarian, so what do you expect.  It's kinda spooky, though.  Sure, I make fun of the Greens and the Libertarians all the time, and I really think that both groups are fundamentally flawed, but on some level I respect their purism, and I have to admit that I agree with the Greens about half the time and the Libertarians about half the time (even though they're at opposite ends of the spectrum.)  My agreement with the two major parties isn't anywhere close to that.  I suspect that I agree with the Democrats maybe a quarter of the time and it's pretty similar for the Republicans, and this little questionnaire bears that out.

By the way, I clicked on your results and saw that my scores with Greens and Libertarians were higher than yours, respectively, but my scores for Democrats and Republicans were much, much lower than yours.  Most of the time, I listen to Democrats and Republicans and I think that they're both full of themselves.  Unfortunately, those are our only two choices for most elections.
