politics shmolitics

I decided to take a "political test" this morning. This is what i found:

Social Moderate: 50% permissive
Economic Moderate: 41% permissive

I am best described as a : CENTRIST

I thought this was the case, but i figured i would take this test anyhow. I don't know how accurate this test is, considering one of the questions asked me how i felt about two consenting adults battleing each other in a fight-to-the-death. (i said no, although it would be sweet, star-trek style)

Being a centrist has merits and flaws. One of the bad things is that i have no alligences. Which, according to Dante', means i am going straight to hell. The good thing is that I can vote for whatever canidate I feel is the best leader overall, regardless of party. I have been doing this since i can remember. I believe that a moderate approach to law making is the best for everyone.

everyone who knows me thinks i am a democrat b/c i hate bush. I am here to tell you that isn't so true. I vote republican all the time. I vote almost all repulicans locally in 2004 (including the gov.), and for instance, I would have [most likely] voted for Bush Sr. and Reagan. And if McCain runs (and wins the primaries) in 2008, i will probably vote for him. I just hate Bush with a stabbing hatered. that's all that is.

now, the test i took was at okcupid.com. here are some neato pictures and graphs and whatnots that you can see after you take the test:

This picture is pretty self-explainatory.



















This one shows some famous people and their polictial stance:
I would vote for darth vader if he was running for president. Vader 2008!




















what is that thing by bin laden's fo'head? it looks lijke a pen or something.

This one shows the stances of people voting in the 2004 election. it conserns me how many people scored in the facists and socialist regions. I dunno, i guess this isn't a map of intensity, or counts, but i still would have expected more white in those areas.












Comments:
I find it interesting how Bill O'Reilly straddles the line between Republican and Fascist. Watching his show, you can see how the Fascist part comes out.

It seems like Emperor Palpatine would have been a better character to put on the map since he was actually the leader like Stalin in the example. I guess less people would have recognized him though.
 
I haven't decided if position in that map means a whole lot. i mean, look at MLk, that guys head is huge! does that mean he has many leanings? i think reagan, bush and o'reilly are all just grouped together as republicans.

as for your palpatine comment, i couldn't agree more, in fact, i was considering saying exactly what you just said. it is scarry when that happens.

hold me.
