I'm more liberal/progressive than you are. Ask me anything.

[Misunderestimator]

(with apologies to Bertha :D)

[david_vincent]

1. Are you pro-choice?

n/t

[Misunderestimator]

3. Without a doubt.

[progmom]

2. does posting here amount to an admission of the truthfulness of your state

-ment?

[Misunderestimator]

4. Um.... not necessarily...

or there wouldn't be so many flamewars here. :hi:

[Radical Activist]

5. How much time did you spend volunteering/working for Dennis Kucinich?

[Misunderestimator]

7. Um... I think you got me there.

If you said Howard Dean or John Kerry I would've been all over it. :P

[Radical Activist]

15. Real progressives

didn't support Dean. He's too moderate. I'm more liberal than you are! :D

[Misunderestimator]

18. I didn't say that he doesn't represent my beliefs...

I just didn't think he could possibly get elected... :shrug:

[Radical Activist]

20. That makes you not as liberal as me.

And if everyone who said that had worked for Kucinich he would have won the primary and general election in a landslide. Self-doubt is the left's own worst enemy.

[Misunderestimator]

21. I'll give you that as a possibility.

[Radical Activist]

24. I should have clarified

That for me, participating in the electoral process at all by supporting someone as liberal as Kucinich, is a more realistic compromise. Otherwise, I'm more of an anarcho-syndicalist. Supporting someone as corporate friendly as Dean would be out of the question.

[short bus president]

6. What R U wearing?

And is NSMA the jealous type?

:P

[Misunderestimator]

10. I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt and am barefoot

And no, NSMA is definitely NOT the jealous type.

[DelawareValleyDem]

8. What current politician best represents your beliefs?

[Misunderestimator]

12. Kucinich most represents my beliefs

Though I did not support him in the election.

[redqueen]

25. Yay!

And awwwwww. :(

[Bouncy Ball]

29. Hey me too! Exactly the same!

[Misunderestimator]

37. Okay... so that settles it!

We are equally progressive! :hi:

[Bouncy Ball]

39. I have a bit of an anarchist streak in me, though.

I try to tame it and it mostly stays under control, and it's a TEENY tiny streak, but it's there nevertheless.

Do you have one? Or does being gay give you extra points? Harumph.

[Misunderestimator]

40. Extra points for sure... I think we still balance out...

Pffft.

[Southsideirish]

9. What is your stand on animal rights? PETA?

[Misunderestimator]

14. I feel adamantly for the rights of animals to be treated humanely.

I concur with a lot of what PETA has done to discourage the wearing of fur (I myself used to stick those little panda stickers on the backs of women wearing furs in elevators in NYC), and many of their other causes. Some of their members go overboard, but I agree with the group as a whole.

[steve2470]

11. What's your position on pre-1865 reparations to African-Americans ? nt

[Misunderestimator]

16. That's a complex subject.

I think that too much time has gone by to recompense all of the people that this country's government and military has harmed. I wouldn't know where to start except to learn from our mistakes and force our government to do better in the future, as impossible as that apparently is lately.

[DS1]

13. Well of course, you're in love with another woman, you have to be!

;-)

[Misunderestimator]

17. Not necessarily. I've met a couple of lesbian republicans...

:shrug:

[DS1]

19. does not compute

:crazy:

[rug]

22. Are you advancing the dictatorship of the proletariat?

[Misunderestimator]

23. Absolutely

not

[AngryAmish]

26. Do you like cockfighting?

I do.

[Misunderestimator]

30. I despise it...

and therefore I might despise you... :shrug:

[Sanity Claws]

27. How do you feel about the color red? pink?

[Misunderestimator]

32. Hmm... to me red is a sign of power.. not always good... not always bad.

Pink... ick, although it is a color of peace.

[Darranar]

42. You don't like red and pink!?!?

BOURGEOIS LACKEY!

And you claim to be some kind of progressive?

:D

[Misunderestimator]

43. Oh, I love red... don't get me wrong... I like its strength.

Pink is too pastel for me. :P

[Bouncy Ball]

28. No you're not.

:D

[Misunderestimator]

33. That wasn't a question.

:P

[Bouncy Ball]

35. No, you're not?

[Misunderestimator]

38. LOL

:rofl: :spray:

[JohnKleeb]

31. Are you or have you ever been in a labor union?

[Misunderestimator]

34. Why yes, in fact, I have.

I was a member of some labor union (I forget which) when I worked at Sam Goody music when I was in college, and I was also a member of AGMA and Actor's Equity for many years.

[JohnKleeb]

36. Then you can't out liberal me

Since I was a member of the UFCW briefly, and if the place I work at this summer unionizes, I know I am join that union.

[Misunderestimator]

41. I wouldn't base whether I can "out liberal" you on that position alone...

since we're tied on that one. ;)
