That was predictable, LOL... says I'm "Average Independent" (slightly right of center) on economic issues, and WAAAAY left on social issues. Wish they had "no opinion" as an option, since there were some issues where I literally have no position - but a fun waste of 2 minutes, anyway.

I'm so far over on the left on that line I'm practically off of it.

That wouldn't have been the case a decade or so ago, but the more radically regressive the right wing nut jobs get, the further and further left they drive me.

Apparently I'm more conservative than a Tea Party Conservative. I even voted that I completely agree with gay marriage. Either way I'd say it's spot on, although I found the questions to be dumb.

Radically regressive right wing? Great alliteration, but I believe it is the left wing radically regressing our economy at the moment.

Just because liberals for some reason managed to coin the term 'progressive' , doesn't mean your views are anything close to it.

Me too, I'm dangling from the right side of the bar even though I don't have a problem with gay marriage.

Same here

That happened to me, only in the opposite direction , thanks to liberals.

More proof that our country is becoming increasingly (and more drastically) divided... which is both scary and sad, IMO. So much for the United States of America, huh?

I've actually had the opposite reaction to this partisan BS, as it's driven me more towards "independent" non-partisan status. When I see this nonsense coming from BOTH sides, it just makes me want to disassociate from the two major parties altogether. Five years ago, I'd have called myself a liberal or Democrat - now I just call myself an independent thinker!
