Somehow I am not surprised. I’m certainly glad that you do not have the power to affect my wallet via all the social programs you obviously support.
I scored a 150.
April 26, 2009 at 11:28 am
I’m sure the main difference is that you are pro-life, while I am pro-healthcare.
April 26, 2009 at 11:41 am
I am not pro either one. It’s your life and you are responsible for it. Do with it as you please but don’t ask me to bail you out for your bad decisions. Don’t forcibly take my money to give to someone else. If I want to give to charity to help the less fortunate, I will do so voluntarily. (and I do – but I would give more if I had a say in where/how it was spent and the government left me a little more to give).
April 26, 2009 at 11:47 am
We may agree on a few things. I haven’t liked it, either, that my money has been taken from me forcibly for an illegal war in Iraq.
April 26, 2009 at 12:05 pm
You are correct – I agree 100% with you on that one.
I would also say the US does not need over 700 military bases in over 130 countries around the world. We have enough problems here without going out looking for more and inviting trouble.
April 26, 2009 at 12:09 pm
You mean temporary bases, right? Because permanent bases would be illegal.
At least I think so.
Laws. Who needs ‘em.
April 26, 2009 at 3:24 pm
I scored 340
April 26, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Wow I got a 346. I’m practically a socialist! Kick me out of Montana!
April 26, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Practically?
April 26, 2009 at 12:43 pm
309. which is too high to cling to my belief that i am middle of the road….apparently my resistance to labeling myself as progressive is more out of contrariness than actual disagreements with progressives….(with probably at least 50-60 points attributed to lingering resentment over bush/cheney policies)
April 26, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Damn. Only 353.
April 26, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I got 39/40 right.
A 97.5% gives me an “A” for predicting what CAP thinks the progressive value is. Right?
April 26, 2009 at 12:54 pm
362.
But I am a little feverish. That might explain my temporary radicalism. Normally, I’m sure I check in at 182. :)
April 26, 2009 at 12:57 pm
353 here too.
April 26, 2009 at 1:19 pm
208
That’s four points higher than “men” scored. But I’m close, I guess.
April 26, 2009 at 4:35 pm
304. So much for my hippy cred.
April 26, 2009 at 4:46 pm
20/20 so I guess I don’t need glasses
April 26, 2009 at 4:57 pm
327 here.
April 26, 2009 at 5:40 pm
106 too high
April 26, 2009 at 5:41 pm
328… I think religious/military questions have a larger impact on your score, because I agreed with some of the more conservative economic choices.
Oh well. Gotta get to my FlagBurning/Abortion/GayPride Rally over at the Union Hall.
April 26, 2009 at 10:07 pm
295.
April 26, 2009 at 10:36 pm
327.
I guess that shows that I’ve gotten more conservative as I’ve aged…..
April 26, 2009 at 10:41 pm
351.
April 27, 2009 at 7:19 am
338. Which apparently makes me a moderate at the b’birds.
April 27, 2009 at 9:27 am
311, I’m bummed that I scored lower than jh, but then I didn’t use 0 or 10 because I also score high in lazy.
April 27, 2009 at 9:49 am
81
April 27, 2009 at 11:52 am
Finally!!! Another person that is not real “progressive” :-)
April 27, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Only 323…I tried to avoid the 0 or 10 for just about most of them, so maybe that had something to do with my “low” score. Does this mean I lose my eco-terrorist card?
April 27, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Jeez, I only scored 294. Palin in 2012!
April 27, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Hmmm…
This time I got a 10–39/40 looking for the conservative values. I can’t seem to figure out which one I get wrong.
Probably #12. The one about not criticizing the president or military when at war. But I can’t figure out if it’s ok to do that now if you’re a conservative and Obama’s president, and it wasn’t ok when Bush was president. Maybe CAP hasn’t figured in flip-flopping for this one yet.
Must know where I’m failing the conservative litmus test.
April 28, 2009 at 9:21 am
LOL, you don’t actually understand the Conservative POV…you just answered the questions to the opposite as you normally would.
Try and actually think about the “opposite” answer. Ask yourself “why” would anyone think “that way”. Good luck =)
April 27, 2009 at 12:58 pm
72
April 27, 2009 at 1:42 pm
You’re slipping. You’re going to lose your conservatarican card if you’re not careful.
April 27, 2009 at 3:49 pm
It got a 53/400…seems high =)
April 27, 2009 at 4:00 pm
OK – I have to say this to all of you proudly near the 100 line and below: Isn’t that bordering on fascism? You had to intentionally work for that kind of score.
April 27, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I actually didn’t work, I honestly answered all of the questions. And, its far far far away from fascism. I I just answered the questions that gave me the most freedom and opportunity to live my life. Free from government, and corporate control. Yours mirrors fascism much more than mine fyi…
April 28, 2009 at 2:29 am
I think you’re confusing fascism and communism.
April 27, 2009 at 5:12 pm
the authors of the poll say that most people fall in the 225 percentile. the middle seems conspicuously absent….hmmm.
is it just apathy?
April 28, 2009 at 12:07 am
Good observation, problembear.
There’s me and Charles.
No wonder all we elect these days is the far left and the far right. The legislature and the Congress surely do demonstrate exactly what we see in this survey.
April 27, 2009 at 5:58 pm
171…yep…a moderate pro choicer is me.
April 27, 2009 at 6:45 pm
I guess I’m a slacker – only 289.
April 27, 2009 at 11:02 pm
(singing) anything you can do i can do better…. i can do anything better than you…
gee I think its nice that we can all one up one another on how progressive or NOT progressive we are… that is a totally unique experience.
April 28, 2009 at 12:12 am
AGYG –
You don’t know how unique it is to me – I live in AZ.
Here, the GOP (which controls both chambers of the lege and the governor’s office) spends its time trying to out-wingnut each other.
It’s so bad that they consider John McCain (John freakin’ McCain!!) to be too liberal and are running anti-immigrant fanatic Chris Simcox against him for his Senate seat next year.
This thread was awesomely heartening.
April 28, 2009 at 8:39 am
Late to the party got a 84, damn, Rusty and Ripley beat me.
April 28, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Looks like I beat you too Big Swede, I got a 53!
April 28, 2009 at 11:58 am
hmm, 365…. am I really the most radical poster here?
April 28, 2009 at 12:29 pm
400
April 28, 2009 at 12:46 pm
and the award goes to the big JC… anything you can do HE can do better!
April 28, 2009 at 2:50 pm
how progressive do y’all think Arlen Specter is? or, for that matter, the BIG O himself?
April 30, 2009 at 2:14 pm

340. Government’s not the only solution, but these days when it’s the Party of No that’s the alternative, it’s time to try it a completely different way.
