I like George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, whom you probably despise. Some say I suffer from Cold-War Paranoia, and some say I am Right-Wing Authoritarian.

I'll go to those forums tomorrow, unfornately, the internet is screwed up on my machine... only a few sites work. Fornately this is one of them. Thanks anyways.

Do you really want Anarchy? Very few people are like that. They want some sort of rule over them. Human nature. :D

Centrist and communist has been added to the poll. I don't know if the creator of a poll can edit it, but moderators can edit it.

why don't you hack the forums such that one can do that? i think they released a hack for that a month ago at www.vbulletin.com/forum ;)

oh yeah, this may be of your interest, Peo, for there is a "Change vote" hack available last time I checked.

Yes! However the transition between now and the future needs a federation with not territorial, but political states.
All divisions that there are in the poll could be in reality in the same (one) country. I.e. instead of the only brother, people could choose from several ones with different laws. + possibility to create a new “brother”. The so called democratic model is one where people don’t have real freedom to choice. It is monopolism. That means – no competition, corruption, market under the monopoly, i.e. market for the monopoly.

i don't know what i am. i am not a fan of politics but i do usually vote liberal. only because they seem to be the lesser of 2 evils. this may be somewhat off topic but what i fear politics wise are organizations like the WTO, ultimatly giving power to the corporations instead of the ppl or even the goverments and how they conduct these meetings without any input from the ppl, when its the average joe that it affects most.

I got Centrist. I didn't even know that was a party. I would vote liberal (if I could vote) I can agree with several republican/conservative ideas, but their whole thing with "family values" and "Christian morality" really aggravates me. If you listen to the religious right, all problems in America can be traced to not having school prayer and having laws creating a christian fundamentalism.

WWG... you share my philosophy (yet you still got Centrist)! :D ;) :p

I don't think these quizzes are completely accurate. Especially when you can go from one end of the political spectrum to the other with two quizzes and not change your beliefs/answers. The best way to choose a party is to go to a political party's website and read where they stand on certain issues. Unfortunately, most sites are so biased to one side or the other, it's hard to get accurate information and comparisons. :(

here are two more lists of political quizzes:

http://www.fzc.dk/thomas/politica.htm

1) Green Party 74%
2) Natural Law Party 70%
3) Democratic Party 65%
4) Republican Party 39%
5) Reform Party 39%
6) Libertarian Party 35%
7) Constitution Party 22%

hehe, i should vote for Nader ;)

Giancarlo

86% - Republican Party
86% - Consitution Party (Great I am Militia Member now)

Giancarlo

July 18th, 2001, 12:23

http://madrabbit.net/webrabbit/quizshow.html - I got 34, meaning I am Conservative Leaning. So I am between Bush and Dole, the only question I was liberal on was that about the Religious Right, I am Right Compassionate being not religious but I favor unrestricted Business, and less regulations on the economy.

I got right between Clinton and General Powell. I wonder if he'll seek the republican party presidental nomination in 2008? He seems to be pretty popular. (In case Bush has some HUGE scandal and decides not to run for a second term, in which case powell could run in 2004) ;)

Giancarlo

July 18th, 2001, 15:12

I would identify myself closer to Powell, but some how I got near Bob Dole. Powell is extremely popular with the American People, and if he did run for office as Republican of course, he would win...

Because I'm still waiting for Beta 4.2 like the rest of us :). As for problems, lots of minor ones, but nothing that keeps me from using it as a main board.
