They lose all progressive cred.

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. Yay for me! I got all the right answers!

take that! liberal poseurs.

[LynneSin]

3. Question #14 needs an undecided

I mean, I have no clue who I want to vote for and there are other candidates not listed who could be running like Joe Biden and Bill Richardson.

[wryter2000]

4. Oh, all right

1) I think smokers should be shot.
2) I let the air out of the tires of Hummers.

It's time for my nap.

[achtung_circus]

After reading the other replies, I'm somehow glad that I'm not the only one who put some effort into answering all the questions ;).

[valerief]

22. We must be such naive nerdlings. nt

[ecstatic]

43. You are a left wing extremist, 45 points! LOL

You would have received a perfect 50 were it not for your cautious stance on impeachment and were vegetarian.

[valerief]

55. I'm 45 and proud. nt

[Bluebear]

10. ...

:spray: :rofl:

[Fridays Child]

12. What if you don't score very well on some of the questions...

...but you are so in favor of gay marriage that you are planning on marrying a member of the same sex even though you're straight and already married. Would you get extra credit for that? :shrug:

[lumberjack_jeff]

38. Only for a straight guy who proposes marriage to Dennis Kucinich. Then it's +10 extra credit. n/t

[Lucky Luciano]

19. blahhh! I already emailed you my answers - I want a score now fool!

I already know I am not a big time progressive.

[ecstatic]

44. Impatience is not progressive LOL

I thought you were kidding about the email but I'm seeing it now.

Drumroll...

Your progcred took some major hits based on some of your answers. You like pit bulls? Are you series?!

Nevertheless, your support of Kucinich gave you the extra points needed to at least be rated as a democrat.

Score = 19.5, rounded to 20

[Lucky Luciano]

47. I think you are biased by the bad reports about pit bulls!

When treated well, they are among the sweetest and most playful dogs there are. They have very vibrant personalities and have some of the best dog smiles there are - you know how dogs smile! :) My ex-gf is a veterinarian (my biggest fuck-up in life is that she is my ex D'OH!) and she would rescue pit bulls.

Trust me - they are awesome dogs.

[Hav]

16. .

Lol, I sure as hell want to know once and for all whether I am a freeper ;).

You are a liberal democrat, although at times you may drift into the moderate or centrist zone. Be very careful!!

[achtung_circus]

29. So, I'm Canadian.

Do I get bonus points, or is there a deduction for not being a credible voter?

If I'm not credible, am I incredible?

En Francais, "encroyable".

Is being incredible a good thing, a bad thing, or is it context-dependent?

You swing back and forth between liberal and moderate views. Posting after waking up on the wrong side of the bed could easily land you a "banning."

[Counciltucky]

To be fair, though, a lot of those answers would require more explanation than a selection of a response would provide. Trust me -- I'm liberal, lol.

48. Okay, I'll bite.

1)b*

2)d

3)b

4)a

5)c*

* I don't think the breed should be banned, but if you own a psycho dog that attacks or kills someone, you should go to jail as if you did it.

6)a & b - depends on the cat.

7)c

8)a

9)The answers are too convoluted, but I would tentatively go with b and c.

10)a

11)either let these people stay legally (and pay them the minimum wage) or d.

12)generally a but it depends on the context.

13)a

14)b

15)c

16)c

17)d

18)a

Edited because I can't read right now.

[Pyrzqxgl]

51. I don't really care how you label me, I only care how I label myself.

most of the above is none of your damn business and a lot of my answers probably change from day to day. My Grandfather and Dad were Wobs,and I at different times have been involved with SNCC, CORE, SDS, and the AFSC. I've owned a business for 40 years & most often (except for a brief fling with The Peace & Freedom Party) I've been a Democrat since I first registered in 1960.
