Too Republican

Feministe got a better score than I did.

I am:
2%
Republican.		"You're a complete liberal, utterly without a trace of Republicanism.  Your strength is as the strength of ten because your heart is pure.  (You hope.)"
Are You A Republican?

That 2% taint leaves me feeling so dirty.

  1. That's a stupid quiz full of unreasonable answers.

  2. I was 11% republican, but after I lied about not wanting a woman in high heels walking on my back, it went down to 1%. Phew!

  4. Funny, but I'm -21% Republican.

    I didn't even know you could be a negative Republican, but as you can imagine I'm certainly in the catbird seat now.

  6. 0% here, and that's even though I said Social Security is, sadly, in need of increased flexibility. I guess the "soak the rich" bit put me bac.

  7. heh heh
    Your taint is dirty.

    Sorry--I was a -4% Republican, another goddamn commie.

  8. I got 1%. Part of it may be because I said Social Security is very reassuring to have around... the only answer I could give, since without it I would currently be homeless.

  10. You think you feel dirty, but I got 13 percent!

    On the other hand, I'm sure this test is just as accurate as Bush-administration-mandated standardized testing. (Say, has the president tried to pass any of these tests?)

  11. Sorry - I did not think it would not take the code. It was minus 20, btw. I've been trained in my youth to give all the right answers...With a different Israel answer, I bet I couldhave gone even lower.

  13. Annoying quesitions - who am I to say where a woman's place is? It's whereever she damn well feels like it is.

    Oh, and -12% Republican. And I even answered honestly. Had there been questions about free trade etc., then I would have been much farther to the right.

  14. Annoying quesitions - who am I to say where a woman's place is? It's whereever she damn well feels like it is.

    That's the answer I was looking for too. Since it wasn't there I had to choose the "...and the senate" answer, seemed the least stupid.

  15. Holy ****, at -7% I join the Communist Hordes here at Pharyngula (and elsewhere, I presume)! Hasta la Victoria siempre!

    I mean, what if the Catholics found out that Ratz was 2% Buddist?

  17. 111% ! I think it was the plutonium breeder reactors that put me over the top.

  18. I answered honestly and came up 12% percent Republican! And, I'm Black and Gay!!

    But, don't be hatin'...
    #: Posted by that colored fella  on  05/01  at  02:10 AM
  19. -1% Republican and that's way too close to parity for me. I was stuck on the “woman’s place” question. I really liked the “towering over me with her spike heels digging cruelly into my bleeding back” answer – in my dreams! – but went with the House and Senate answer instead.

  20. I don't know if Australians can be Republican, but it seems I am 18% Repubican, which I gather is how that page describes an ordinary Millian liberal...

  23. 2%; colonizing the planets and leaving earth a nature preserve as per John Varley, most likely.

    You are:

    Republican. The Marxists are too reactionary for you. With people like you around, America collectively thanks God for John Ashcroft.


    And proud of it!

    Did I mention that I LOVED the Motorcycle Diaries and I long for a united Latin America, free from gringo domination. Fuck Michael Shifter!

  29. You are:-42% Republican. The Marxists are too reactionary for you. With people like you around, America collectively thanks God for John Ashcroft.

    I guess it surprises nobody anymore that Leon Trotsky is my hero and I think our Presidumba$s is a war criminal. (So was Reagan...too bad that wasn't an option.)

  30. Trotsky was a goddamned sellout. Remember Kronstadt!

  31. You all are just trying to shame me, aren't you?

    I'm going to have to get rid of the "Lefties" section of the blogroll and replace it with "Wingnuts". While I may have lost my soul to evil, at least my taxes will be lower, I will have the privilege of nuking my enemies, and I'll never die—even after my cortex has decayed into black, rotting goo, medical technology will be used to keep my corpse dancing, long after you're all fertilizer. And not only that, but every one of my sperm cells will be rescued to produce babies.

  32. I got -9% and the comment "You're a damn Commie! Where's Tailgunner Joe when we need him?"

    I generally answered the way I was expected to when there was no right answer, though. None of the four choices about Hitler made any sense; it's as simplistic as "they hate us for our freedom" to say he's a natural result of patriarchy, and it's as idiotic as "social democrats are communists" to say Hitler was a Republican. Like Kristjan, I'd answer that a woman's place is wherever she wants to be. And I'd rather there have been a more strongly negative answer about Reagan than "senile puppet"; I was looking more for something like "an idiot whose administration was downright stupid about virtually every political issue it could've taken a position on."


    Jose, when you talk of a united Latin America, do you mean all of Latin America or just its parts that speak Spanish? Also, be aware that what you're longing for is in violation of the property rights of the United States, which apparently owns all land and all people south of the Rio Grande...

    #: Posted by Orac  on  05/01  at  11:26 AM
  34. 1% here. I think to get a perfect score you have to go out and actually kill a Republican (or a suitably wealthy Democrat).
    #: Posted by Mark Gisleson  on  05/01  at  01:43 PM
  35. 3 percent.

    Hmm.

  36. -37%. America thanks God for John Ashcroft.

  37. Alon, I am actually talking about all of it, Brazil included. And I'm sorry we South American commies are violating your property rights. After all, what are we wetbacks gonna do with that oil that rightfully belongs to "America"? I guess use it for our own benefit....

    #: Posted by ang6666  on  05/01  at  04:56 PM
  39. -15% here.

    What I want to know is (a) how does it work out that 2% = "utterly without a trace of Republicanism" and (b) how come "not Republican" = "negative Republican."

    Flawed quiz! Flawed quiz!
    #: Posted by Rana  on  05/01  at  05:03 PM
  40. I got 9%. Which annoys me on the grounds that it's too much Republican, but pleases me on the grounds that it suggests that I am far from the most leftiest of my lefty friends, which I always assert, but no one ever actually seems to believe.
    #: Posted by bitchphd  on  05/01  at  05:40 PM
  41. Jose, I'm not even American; I was joking about how the United States considers Latin America its property.
