4 or 5.

Maybe not a 6, but he perfers one line of thought over another.

And what line of thought is that?  After all, consistency does not mean the same thing as partisanship and should not be equated as such.  Granted, partisans often display a false consistency by making useless distinctions how similar behavior by one party is bad in this circumstance, but is acceptable or unimportant in another circumstance when it is by another party.  And it is possible to be too consistent, when there are important distinctions that should be made between issues or behavior.  It is weighting these two factors that allows one to develop a cogent, rational political philosophy.  And if, in the end, that political philosophy ends up leaning more towards one party than another, I think it would foolish, if not simply wrong, to call that partisan.

I also don't deny that the weight of this site's forum balance has drifted to the left over the past two years, leaving me less at the center of this site as I once was.  But my political philosophy will not change to fit a new acceptable definition of "centrist" or "moderate" unless I see a reasoned basis to do so.

Anyway, after that sermon  , AndrewCT is about a 2.25.

I'll keep that in mind..as I have been trying to push, human behavior is very complex even just thinking like someone may naturally cause someone to have "a home" with a certain group. I done some of these expirements in College. Only if I could find that link...but then again, you might have somehow mastered your emotions beyond most people and I open to that so who knows.

Btw....Bacon seems to be a 2 or 3, seems like a blue dog or an Ohio Republican, but could just have his own opinions.

Partisanship?  This is one of those jokes like BRTD being a Libertarian I presume

My partisanship is incredibly low

About 1.85 for Colin.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Could Sam really be partisan?

I'll say 0

In that weird New Jersey tradition, DWDL strikes me as the hard-core conservative type who would twist the knife in the back of the New Jersey GOP any chance he gets.  Just like Steve Lonegan!

Not that I seriously think he'd support a Democrat, though.  More the stay home/third party/protest vote type.

I say six.

Yeah, that could be him. You are 1 by the way.

Except for the fact that I supported Sheldon Whitehouse and Harold Ford Jr. last year even when the senate was on the line.  I also supported people like Brad Henry, Ben Nelson, etc.
