Maybe around 9 social and -2 or -3 economic. We know what kind of guy he is socially and economically he made millions off real estate (and his family is building the world's tallest building in Abu Dhabi) while remembering to "aid" the poor to lure them to his cause.

I disagree; his social score would be in the negatives, because he's obviously a liberal. Tongue

Taking the test from his perspective:

Economic Left/Right: -0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.92

Realize lots of questons are pretty poor in this case such as the one about supporitng your nation whether it's right or wrong, well of course he won't always support his nation, he has his own agenda. I think it's safe to say it's not too accurate.

# Some of the propositions are culturally biased

Right. That's why the Compass is being promoted in western democracies. We don't pretend that, for example, the responses of a citizen of a rural region of China can undergo the same evaluation process.

You've got to be kidding. Do some republicans harbour extreme religious view? Sure as hell they do.. but there is no way any of them are even close to Osama

Here's why Osama would vote for Bush:

...they...both like to...hold guns.

they both like to invade Iraq.

uhm...

they both want to scare America (ooh aah)
and...

they were both in SKULLS AND BONES! YEAH!

Limbaugh, although he talks a mean game, isn't all that extreme.

Actually, I believe that Limbaugh, like most every American, would strangle Bin Laden with his own bare hands if he got ahold of him.
