I said I was an eleven. :mad:

But you ain't.

Well the 1s are pretty weak 1s.  Sheilbh talking crap to the Greens for being too insane doesn't sound like a far left nutcase.

Heck, I'd say if anything, he's a bit right of center.  IMO, you're further left than he is.  I have no idea why you two rated yourselves as you did.

Over the last decade I've probably gone from a 6.5 to a 5.

To the extent that a single axis can really describe an overall political ideology, anyway.

On social issues I am probably a 2.

I am so disappointed, Berkut.
Let me ask you straight:
Where do you stand on the 3 constitutional conservative principles of small government, free market economy,  and liberty?

I am boycotting this poll because it is way less defined than the poll I did 3 weeks ago, in which I wxplained the different positions,  as in Clinton liberal vs Obama socialism.

Also, I think you put yourself too far to the right Valmy. Just living in Texas doesn't give you an extra point or anything.  :P

Yeah I probably should have been 4 or 5. I have considered myself right wing for so long and old habits are hard to break.

I think Barbara is a "9"

:blink: Well, to each his own, I guess.

She probably bakes really well.  That helps.

I think "small" government hasn't existed in over a hundred years, so it is a moot point.

I think a free market economy is what we have, and we should continue to have. The big change for me is that I no longer believe that within the bounds of a free market, more free is actually better. The results largely speak for themselves, and it is clear to me that when all the actors are unrestrained, those with power and wealth will manipulate the system to get themselves more and more power and wealth. This must be controlled in some fashion, IMO.

Nothing has changed on my view towards the over-riding supremacy of individual liberty as a driving principal in western liberal democracies.
