Take the test.
Maybe you already know.
I'm not political, so I didn't know nor care too much.
But here are my results: I side with Green Party on most political issues: 91%
I didn't even know there were other parties besides the Democ rats and Repukeblicans
Green 91%
Dem 91%
Libertarians 67%
Socialist 60%
Constitution Party 55
Conservative 54
Republicans 51%
you say you're not political but you post on the Political Board every day. lma
After school....and I'm trying to be "polite"
1. I am pro life yet I believe abortion is the woman's choice, not mine. I would not vote for someone who "could" outlaw abortion. Least important to me
2. I support the legalization of same sex marriage. Less important to me.
3. I support the death penalty. IMO some criminals don't deserve to live, especially rapist murderers with undeniable DNA proof of guilt yet it is only somewhat important to me
they die.
4. I believe the Government should not "increase" environmental regulations failing with lame attempts to prevent global warming. It is less important to me because evolution has always been in charge of weeding out those not willing to adapt to their new environment.
5.I believe the U.S should not expand offshore drilling unless offshore drillers can prove they can cap a renegade well gone wild in less than an hour and the Feds can demonstrate they can identify safety issues. Most important to me .
6.I believe National Parks should continue to be preserved and protected by the federal government. More important to me.
7. I don't believe any minimum wages should be increased. If wages are increased without merit the cost of everything and everyone else's wages will eventually rise and buying power will be back to square one. I believe if someone desires more money, they should learn how to do their job with more proficiency, learn to master a trade or get an education in a field that pays the wages the employee is looking for.
Most important to me.
8. I believe able bodied mentally aware welfare recipients should be required to work . The money saved by that requirement would allow more money to be dispersed to people like bigguy who require hand outs to survive. Most important to me the weak and afflicted should be cared for.
9. The government should make cuts in public spending in order to reduce the national debt.
Like my American Express bill the Government should learn to only spend money they can quickly repay. Most important to me
10. I believe the U.S should reduce corporate taxes . That is important to me and the millions of additional U.S workers who would be employed by U.S corporations paying less taxes. Most important to me
11. I believe the U.S should subsidize true farmers in need, not fake farming land barons gaining tax benefits. More important to me.
12. I would support an increased sales tax on everything except food, to lower personal property tax. The poor should not be taxed on basic food. Turf and Surf should be taxed at 50%.
Most important to me.
13. I don't believe all welfare recipients should be tested for drugs. I do believe every member of the House and Senate should be tested for drugs. Least important to me.
14. I believe pension plans for federal, state and local government workers should be transitioned into private plans. Least important to me
15. I believe Wall Street executives should not be criminally charged for their roles in the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. After seven years of no charges it would be waste of time and money to bring charges now. Least important to me
16. I believe labor Unions hurt the economy and workers. I believe no one should be forced to join a Union or pay Union dues in a Union run company. I believe Unions help send American jobs overseas. I support Right to work laws. Most important to me.
17. I don't support increased gun control because cities with most gun control have the most gun crime. Most important to me my bodyguards are able to easily purchase weapons and ammo in every American city.
18. I do not support affirmative action programs or any programs based on race alone . I support equal rights for all. Most important to me.
19. I support the decriminalization of marijuana not legalization. I also support the decriminalizing of drug use. Somewhat important to me
I answered the remainder of questions including the trending question. No I would not vote for Ted Cruz.
I didn't see a Clinton/Bush question.
In case you are curious I would not vote for Hillary or Jeb .
I like the sound of Rubio/Walker 2016

I didn't take the actual test, but I think I agree with your summary at least 90%, hence my suggestion you rethink some of your positions. Do you really want to be in agreement with the likes of me on over 90% of the issues???

Which basically goes to show you that there is far more complexity than merely being left or right leaning.
Sadly, we have become so polarized as a nation that the idea of compromise is rapidly becoming extinct as a political option.

Growing up; when my parent's chosen candidates lost an election 'America' was not considered "lost" with every form of obstruction then employed to thwart EVERY action of the newly elected. They and their like minded friends would just hope for the best and that something like the Great Depression or WWII never happened again.
The Left wants private gun ownership as difficult as obtaining a PHD in medicine or physics, and the Right wants to remove all sovereignty over ones own body. Either way the citizen loses with the only possible winner being the private/for-profit prison industry.
