Why? Romney and Obama are owned by the same banks and will do nothing that represents the people while in office. How is it stupid to point out how broken the system is by refusing to validate it with a vote?

Apparently I'm a right wing authoritarian now even though I was a solid libertarian like 6 months ago :lol:
Economic centrist and social libertarian. (0.62, -5.38)

Yeah I think they changed it recently so my own personal moral beliefs show up rather than my libertarian philosophy regarding others' behavior. So I used to show up as libertarian.

While I'm libertarian, I'm personally very conservative socially. I just don't feel a need to impose it on others.

It says I'm economic libertarian (6.50), social authoritarian (0.87)

I'm surprised how many of you are economic centrists. I'm way libertarian on that.

This test, like most personality tests, is too flawed and too easy to manipulate. And how you answer can be totally how you want the results to come out. Do I answer how I am, how I could be, how I want to be, etc? Not exactly a science, but then again, we've seen what science can look like, too.

Didn't think it was that great of a test. Several questions could have been either or. Plus, they gave a scenario and then said its good because.. Well if you don't think the scenario is a good idea but think that the idea posited in that scenario makes sense from that point of view you have to Agree.
Having said that is anyone suprised:
Economic 3.00
Social 2.62

So Condi appears to be the VP front runner. Not sure how I feel about this yet. She has got the Foreign Policy credentials but she has never run for office. Shes only had posts where she was appointed. What about her domestic policies?
Granted she is a brilliant, probably genius, individual. She'd make Biden look sillier then he already does in a debate. There has been a lot of buzz about her leading up to this. How will the Tea Party wing react? I'm sure JBock loves another Neo Con. Lol
