I scored 100. I’m a little surprised - in those tests to see which “politician you agree with” I generally turn out to agree fairly closely with Orrin Hatch. I thought that would make me relatively moderate, but I guess this test really is for “left and lefter” folks.

My score was 38.

Coincidentally, my least favorite question was #38 -- "Immigrants hurt the country" or something to that effect.

Uhhhhhhh, immigrants are great. Illegal aliens?? Not so great. They hurt the country.

That quiz did have more than its share of “when did you stop beating your wife” questions.

58/400
The immigrant question got me. It didn’t mention legal so I went with ‘5’. Legal immigrants are what the US is all about.

81 here...I can’t believe that the avg American scores over 200. Where did they get their figures from, San Francisco, Seattle and NYC?

I took this test about a year ago and got a 160. Tonight I got a 119. I guess Hope’n’Change(tm) is working, because I’m definitely getting more conservative as Congress and the pResident force us into Communism.

60- for this extremist Conservative. Question 33 was BS — Stick illegal in front of immigrant and it would be a worthwhile question. As stated it is nothing more than push poll phrasing.

84/400, “Extremely Conservative.” Some of those were extremely loaded questions, not to mention too generalized to fit a pat answer.

We’ve got three branches of our new government.
Just need one more.

I live in MA. Imagine how well I fit in.

I'd love to form a new country. The place I'm living in kinda sucks.

Exactly! Somehow liberals have managed to frame opposition to illegal immigration as opposition to all immigration.
