Political Rorschach Test....... I know...., I know,
we've all taken different "political tests" and we all know where we stand and what "label" best describes our personal leanings, and this test won't tell you anything new.

BUT, I promise this test will be the most FUN political test you've taken!

http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blcartoonquiz.htm

Of course, you are required (ok, "encouraged") to record your results here. I was a "Loyalist Democrat" - even though I'm a registered Independent.

1. O.K., here's mine:
Your Political Profile




You are a solid Democrat. You are not as fiercely ideological or uncompromising as others in the party, but nonetheless remain a reliable supporter. If you could have your way, you'd like to see Democrats leaders take a slightly more accommodating approach on certain issues – and dial down some of their nakedly partisan and bitterly divisive rhetoric.

17. Me too. Moot, since I'm not American. Some commentary follows...
*** Don't read this if you haven't done the "survey" as I talk about some of the contents. I wouldn't call them "spoilers" as such... ***

The impression I got from that "survey" is that the images critical of the Republican party had a stronger message that the ones critical of the Democratic party.

Either this is an intentional bias, or there is much, much more to work with when looking at the Republicans. Probably the latter. I mean, Hillary jokes? How 2001!

I also found the Bush::Chimp and Hilary-looking-unphotogenic images to be weak and sophomoric as pieces of political humour. They could have done better.

JMO.

...for both the anti-Repub and anti-Dem pieces.

2. Die-hard Democratic loyalist.
You are a pure, unabashed, die-hard Democratic loyalist. You are appalled by the way Republicans are turning America into a theocratic, corpo-fascist police state, and you'd gladly walk through a furnace in a gasoline suit to elect a Democratic president. In your view, there is no higher form of patriotism than defending America against the Republican Party and every intolerant, puritanical, imperialistic, greed-mongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which it stands.

"You are a devoted Democrat. You tend to walk in lockstep with the party, even if you have not agreed with every decision Democratic leaders have made. The few differences you have are nothing compared to your complete and utter contempt for the Republican Party and the intolerance, fanaticism, and warmongering for which it stands."

(I especially agree with the part about having utter contempt for the pubs)

"You are a pure, unabashed, die-hard Republican loyalist. You remain fiercely dedicated to fighting the twin evils of terrorism and liberalism, and you'd walk across a field of land mines if it meant casting a deciding vote for a Republican president.

16. Y'all might not like this...
You are a moderate. You agree with Democrats on some issues and Republicans on others, while rejecting the blind, naked partisanship of both sides. You base your vote on issues rather than ideology and principle rather than party, which makes you the quintessential swing voter the media loves to fawn over.

They figured this out from toons? Did the Dems have any homophobic toons portraying bush and cheney as gay? Noooo. How about that France hating toon, "Shut up and leave it to us to protect civilization"?

I'd have to be crazy to think something like that is funny.

Now, the one with Dean and the kitten, at first I said it was rude and offensive, but then after I clicked, I had to laugh. :D

But I don't think Dean has ever been alleged to strangle kittens
so I think that cartoon must just represent Republican "projection".

32. ja, it was a fairly amusing survey, thanks!
I got "Democratic Loyalist" --

"Your Political Profile - You are a pure, unabashed, die-hard Democratic loyalist. You are appalled by the way Republicans are turning America into a theocratic, corpo-fascist police state, and you'd gladly walk through a furnace in a gasoline suit to elect a Democratic president.

That's pretty much true, though actually, while I had previously been a strong Democrat -- well, a Very Liberal Anti-Republican Occasional Independent anyway (more a Kucinich than a Kerry) -- I recently became (ref: post-Katrina) so disgusted with the whole corrupt, inefficient mess that I covered my Kerry bumpersticker with tape (after trying to exactoknife it off in a fit of disgusted passion and slicing open my thumb.)

45. Check out the "Bush Loyalty Test" on the same site.
After taking the "Rorschach Test" (I ended up with "Loyalist Democrat" as well), I tried out the other one. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest loyalty to Bush, and 1 being the least, I scored a 0. Heh. I took that as a high compliment! :)
