You see that wasn't so hard. Now go back and look at your answers. Give yourself 0 points for all of the questions that you answered with response A and 1 point for each question that you answered with response B. If you scored 8 points or more, I got news for you, you are more Conservative than Liberal. If you scored, more than 10 points, you are decidedly Conservative. If you scored 15 points, you're a 100% Conservative. Conversely, anything less than 8 points and you are probably a Liberal my friend; less than 6 points and you're decidedly Liberal; 0 Points and you're 100% Liberal.
Okay, so now you know what you are, but what does it mean. Well, Barack Obama is by far the most Liberal candidate that has ever run for President. If he were being honest, he would score a 0 on this quiz. Sure, he would lie about wanting a strong military and using that military occasionally, but those of us who know his background, wouldn't believe him. If you are a 6 point or less Liberal, Barack is the ideal candidate for you depending on which issues you deem more important. John McCain, on the other hand, would probably score somewhere in the 10-12 range. I'd like to give him credit for being more Conservative, but his record prevents me from doing so. However, if you are Conservative at all, John McCain will best represent your position on important issues.
So there you have it. Hopefully, this little quiz helped you learn a little about yourself and the two candidates running for President.
