9, almost a Hillary.

Interesting quiz, built upon the "tax and spend" caricature of liberals. Oh well.

I got a 10. Me thinks this test is seriously flawed.

Well, keep in mind Che this test is meant to measure a spectrum from Jesse Jackson to Ronald Reagan. The vast majority of Americans fit within that spectrum, but I can see it having issues diagnosing people outside of it.

Just kidding 9. Though it should be 8, since "trusting the government" depends on whos in office

I got a 4.

Many of these are dumb questions though.

Trust the government to solve problems? Depends on the problem and who's in office.

Who do I trust more, professional athletes or team owners? Give me a break - both are a bunch of overpaid crybabies.

Even the wording of these questions betray their right wing political bias!

14. Although I believe that there is a degree of conservative bias in the quiz.

yep. and how do I know if there's a liberal dominance in US media?

BTW, I had to choose the businesspeople as the guys I trust mor, because union leaders have been proving to be prize idiots over here in the recent years.

I got a 30--Jack Kemp. Given that their spectrum ignores libertarians, that's not a bad assessment. If I had to pick one of the people they showed for President, it would probably be Kemp.

When looking through this quiz, I got a strange sense of Deja Vu. Then I realized it was an old issue of USA Weekend that I read while down in Washington (because the Washington Post has that, while our paper doesn't- not that it's that good a source!). Sure enough, they confirm that at the top, explaining the weird out-of-dateness of many of the questions (Haiti? Most people today have probably forgotten all about it).

That said, 'tis a silly quiz. Just because you think or don't think the media is dominated by liberals says nothing about your own political slant, for starters. Oh well, I'm a perfect 20.

lol. well, it can also get rather painful sometimes, what with politics being the bucking bronco it is...

and on that note, doesn't straddling the fence sound, well, painful?

8 - smack dab between Hillary and Teddy; seems about right.

I do however, deeply resent having to choose between professional atheletes and team owners.
