    73% Democrat 59% Green (I don't even know what the Green Party is) Libertarians 44%, socialists 43%, Republicans 23%.

    Which adds up to 243% Real smart poll.

    What's with the California questions? Who cares, except Californians?

    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    Parties you side with...

    88% Republicans on economic, domestic policy, immigration, social, environmental, science, and healthcare issues.

    57% Libertarians no major issues.

    16% Green Party no major issues. Click here to see why

    11% Socialist no major issues. Click here to see why

    10% Democrats no major issues. Click here to see why

    I understand why it adds up to more than 100%. Stuff overlaps, and has weight of importance.

    I don't understand how I can side with Democrats, Socialists, and Greenies on anything. Thus, the poll is skewed somewhat. A rule of thumb is about all it is.

    and my questions are about Arkansas politics. Clearly you are using a California server IP address from work!!!!

    I suspect I'd have been further Republican had I moved that bar farther right on some answers.

    About 2/3 of the way through I thought "Boy, you ain't all worked up hard about much o' nuthin', are ya?" I was a 'somewhat' most of the time.

    Me too Bucky... I should have slid the bar to the left more on some items that I truly don't give a squat about. But then thought I SHOULD care more about it because my kids are inheriting this mess, but then didn't...

    Captain, you have to look at it like an IQ test. There's the pack, and then there's the few out front of the pack who know what is what.

    I guess this means you're part of the pack. Sorry.

    Republicans on domestic policy, science, immigration, economic, social, and healthcare issues. 85%

    Libertarians on domestic policy and healthcare issues. 56%

    Democrats no major issues. 24%

    Green Party no major issues. 11%

    Socialist Socialist no major issues. 6%


    I did notice there were a few "trick" questions. The "able bodied" welfare question for one. Both the dems and repubs think the same way.

    AND....
    Agreeing with "the republicans" is not always the "conservative" thing to do.

    And I knew that's prolly what you thought! Just pokin'.

    Actually this was educational. I'd never really heard of the Green Party other than some stuff I heard from one of my neices who is a staunch Libertarian. So I looked up their Platform and although there's somestuff that's crackpot, there's some real truth(I think) in some ofthethings they say. Here's a link if you're interested. http://www.gp.org/committees/platfor...acy.php#316100

    Thanks for posting this link today Thumper!

    I'd sure like to see what Chilly Willy scores.

    And Posthole, anyone that is more than half Democrat is..........um........is..........well, he is............um......

    I can't say it. There's not one single valid reason to agree with a Democrat, that I can think of.

    I only listen to history. Reagan tripled the sized of the federal deficit during his tenure and he raised taxes a whole bunch of times. Maybe it was those tax increases that did it.

    Debt ceiling is not what we're talking about. we're talking about whose policies added to the debt. Here's the actual data.

    BKB

    Amount Each President Added to the Debt per Fiscal Year Since 1960:

    President Barack Obama: Added $5.081 trillion, a 44% increase to the $11.657 trillion debt level attributable to Bush's at the end of his last budget, FY 2009.

    FY 2013 - $672 billion.
    FY 2012 - $1.276 trillion.
    FY 2011 - $1.229 trillion.
    FY 2010 - $1.652 trillion.
    FY 2009 - $253 billion. (Congress passed the Economic Stimulus Act, which spent $253 billion in FY 2009. This rare occurrence should be added to President Obama's contribution to the debt.)

    President George W. Bush: Added $5.849 trillion, a 101% increase to the $5.8 trillion debt level at the end of Clinton's last budget, FY 2001.

    FY 2009 - $1.632 trillion. (Bush's deficit without the impact of the Economic Stimulus Act).
    FY 2008 - $1.017 trillion.
    FY 2007 - $501 billion.
    FY 2006 - $574 billion.
    FY 2005 - $554 billion.
    FY 2004 - $596 billion.
    FY 2003 - $555 billion.
    FY 2002 - $421 billion.

    President Bill Clinton: Added $1.396 trillion, a 32% increase to the $4.4 trillion debt level at the end of Bush's last budget, FY 1993.

    FY 2001 - $133 billion.
    FY 2000 - $18 billion.
    FY 1999 - $130 billion.
    FY 1998 - $113 billion.
    FY 1997 - $188 billion.
    FY 1996 - $251 billion.
    FY 1995 - $281 billion.
    FY 1994 - $281 billion.

    President George H.W. Bush: Added $1.554 trillion, a 54% increase to the $2.8 trillion debt level at the end of Reagan's last budget, FY 1989.

    FY 1993 - $347 billion.
    FY 1992 - $399 billion.
    FY 1991 - $432 billion.
    FY 1990 - $376 billion.

    President Ronald Reagan: Added $1.86 trillion, 186% increase to the $998 billion debt level at the end of Carter's last budget, FY 1981.

    FY 1989 - $255 billion.
    FY 1988 - $252 billion.
    FY 1987 - $225 billion.
    FY 1986 - $297 billion.
    FY 1985 - $256 billion.
    FY 1984 - $195 billion.
    FY 1983 - $235 billion.
