Are you more (or less) conservative than Mitt Romney?

[Eddie Teach]

What's with the "shows courage" and "lacks courage" monikers? Seems the ones that "show courage" are those who never managed to be elected to anything.

Of course, quiz has a few odd places where you are like, none of those options quite fit.

That's an understatement, or at least it would be for me.  There was only 1 question that had any possible answer that I wouldn't consider an extreme distortion of my position.

Ok, now I'm going to take it for real. 

Romney all the way!

For the most part, you agree with Romney's ideas. You consider yourself a Republican, and you're ready for the GOP to take back the White House!

WTF?  This makes no sense at all.  I wasn't trolling it.

Riley had us take a quiz at Vote Smart. As Max said, it's not exactly nuanced, but it's still fun to see where you fall.

I got told to vote for Gary Johnson.

So it's actually an IQ test?  That's kinda clever for something called "Vote Smart".

The "Shows Courage" candidates actually answered a series of questions (probably the same ones we answer in the poll). Those who "lack courage" didn't bother.

Yeah, I didn't really understand that either.

Your results
You lean left.
You might just be a Democrat, or at the very least an independent. You probably agree with most of President Obama's polices, and you understand the importance of government spending and oversight.

Sounds right.

I got the same as you.

On Vote Smart I got 70% Rocky Anderson (), 69% Obama, 58% Stein, 56% Johnson, 45% Romney and 39% Goode

The implication is that those who "lack courage" didn't want to give a straight answer to the questions.  Of course, for the most part, they've addressed those issues in other places, and as you say, didn't bother repeating the same things for some obscure internet site.

Hmm... the bolded part is a bit questionable, don't you think? Romney has alluded to answers, but never actually given hard responses. Obama has done the same on some issues.

Well, my emphasis would be more on "for the most part".

When I saw the option re: China "Just nuke China already and get it over with" I thought of CdM.

Me too.

Easiest answer in that quiz.

Lol. I guess that means I'll buy more toaster strudel.
