Maybe we should all retake that short political test that plots your political ideology on a graph. It was oversimplified, but it worked well in a general way. Someone needs to dig that up.
Besides, your opinion is no good unless we can readily pigeon-hole you.
Whatever your opinion, Pete, WashUJon, Raceboy, and me should all be *very* close to the same spot.

I tried to map your 1-dimensional scale to its 2-dimensional space with the red curve, but it's hard since comminusm and facism are both authoritarian forms of government, and far more extreme than anyone here.
If more people take it I'll add them.

Nope, sorry. Don't really know about raceboy, but IMO your republican rhetoric lately has clearly pushed you to the right.
Keep in mind, my graph also takes into account the Bush hater/Bush lover factor.
Edit: Strange, I retook that political quiz and my political leaning has changed. It was in the same place as bini2. BTW, that quiz is extremely libertarian biased.
>> Don't really know about raceboy, but IMO your republican rhetoric lately has clearly pushed you to the right.
LOL. Jesse, you're using some kind of illogical unreasonable scale to measure our emotions as perceived by you instead of our actual positions. You think I've "pushed to the right" just because I oppose Kerry who is far left?
Call me what you want, but your model doesn't stand up to reality.
>> I moved from the very bottom right to the center top.
I'll update it in the actual thread later!

It's based on the issues and definitions. Human beings are libertarian biased, and as they learn more about politics they move towards libertarianism.

All I can give is opinion, since I obviously can't read minds. Your movement to the right is more a result of your blatant democrat/liberal bashing.
Most people perceive themselves differently than others do.
Here, I'll make it simple: All graphing created by me, is the sole opinion of Jesse English. It in no way constitutes actual fact, simply the perception of one individual.
A big part of what you're missing in your chart is that Bush and Kerry are not polar opposites. So therefore its going to be hard to graph everyone along a line.
As I've said before and I'll say it again, I tend to support the republican party generally because it tends to leave businesses alone. Additionally I support our ongoing efforts in Iraq. Even if it was for all the wrong reasons, I have to believe Iraqi's will be better off down the road than had we just left the whole thing alone.

What movement? I can disagree with liberals without moving since I already disagreed with liberals.
It's not bashing. I disagree with democrats and liberals, just as I always have. I said liberals have their heads up their asses, and here's what the idiom means: they ignore reality, and (like the tagline from the most libertarian president of the twentieth century says) they believe things that aren't true. Congrats, you are now a prime example.
I have not moved to the right at all. If there were any movment, you could say "this was your position at point A, and this is your more right leaning position at point B." You cannot do that, so your statement is wrong.
If I were so much different from Pete, WashUJon, Raceboy, et al., you could find significant differences in our positions. You cannot, so you are wrong there, too.
>> Most people perceive themselves differently than others do.
It's not a matter of perception. I am correct, and you are incorrect.

That's what I said. You're emotional rather than reasonable. Even your opinion needs have a basis in reality. You can't just say it's your opinion that 2 + 2 = 5. 2 + 2 still equals 4. I am still libertarian: liberal socially, and conservative economically.

HAHAHA! I love this thread! Jesse, I take back what I said about you being uptight in the other thread. Pigeonholing people like this is all in good fun.
Check out my graph. Does this mean I'm a libertarian conservative or a conservative libertarian???

If that makes you feel better.
You said a lot, but that doesn't change your position on my chart, in fact it just solidifies my opinion of where you are on the graph, thanks. So, you disagree with where I put you on the graph? Or do you just disagree with the graph out of principle?

Some people don't get the joke. Oh well, I was hoping everyone would put their opinions of where they see everyone else on their own graph. All that time wasted.
jesseenglish, you seem to think Todd is moving just because he's made a judgement of the lesser of two evils. Just because he thinks Bush is the right vote doesn't mean he agrees with everything Bush says or would even be that close to Bush politically (Bush, btw, isn't very far right or conservative).
I agree with Todd a bit you are letting your opinions place him somewhere on the graph, not listening to a lot of stuff he's been saying that seem pretty consistent to me.

Don't really know about raceboy, but IMO your republican rhetoric lately has clearly pushed you to the right.
