[CS-FSLUG] Political Discussion---please humour me.

[Timothy R. Butler]

Here's my results... I'm not so sure my fluctuations do not have to do  
more with how I read things than what I really think, because I really  
don't change this much. I think averaging things, probably the most  
recent seems to be close enough to the 2002 one that it is likely  
closer to the "real me" than the Nov. 2003 one.

I did one this past October/November, but I can't find it right now. :-\


July 1, 2002: Economic Left/Right: 4.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -1.28

Nov. 2003: Economic Left/Right: 2.75
  Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.05

Jan. 2005: Economic Left/Right: 3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.79

Some of it does have to do with what Aaron mentioned too... there are  
some things I'm against or for but still will answer in the opposite  
direction when it comes to government involvement (yeah, I'm a  
borderline Libertarian). No matter the test, I always land on the  
right, but in these more complex measures, I will vary between being a  
Populist and Libertarian, depending on the wording of the questions.

The ones here are rather interesting, although they are tied  
specifically to the 2004 election:
