Liberal-Conservative
You scored 35 Equality, 64 Liberty, and 57 Stability!
Your commitment to both liberty and stability puts you in the hazy area that exists between the Liberal and the Conservative. You value liberty particularly in economic life and embrace private enterprise. You also recognise the value of traditional culture and institutions. You are keen on notions of the person who is self-sufficient and ambitious. Occasionally your economic and cultural positions may clash but in general you will find practical ways to reconcile them.

Default (*)(*)(*)(*) it to Hell!

First one: Conservative-Leaning Centrist.

President one:

Franklin Roosevelt
200
You have the most in common with Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States. Born into wealth and privilege in Hyde Park, New York, Roosevelt attended an elite boarding school near Boston and later graduated from Harvard University and Colombia Law School. He and his wife Eleanor would have six children, five sons and a daughter. While vacationing in New Brunswick in 1921, Roosevelt was stricken with poliomyelitis, a viral infection of the nerve fibers of the spinal cord. He would never walk again, though he could stand with the help of leg braces. Roosevelt is the only U.S. president to serve more than 2 terms in office.


Weird, eh?


Last one:

United Russia Party
You won!
You belong to Vladimir Putin's United Russia Party, which increasingly is looking like the only party Russia's gonna have - which would be cool with Russia, because it means the oligarchs'll get put back in their place and the wholesale looting of the country might stop. Besides, when did Russia ever have more than one group in charge? Try NEVER. Anyhow, you believe that the economy should be run in essence by the government through private firms. Similarly, you believe the people should be free to do what they want as long as that sort of activity is going to nightclubs, drinking vodka, and not raising their voices. You tend to be a little depressed, but hey, Dostoyevsky was depressed, and look at how he turned out. All in all, could be worse.

(*)(*)(*)(*)it!!!

I'm glad this has little to do with politics, since I can't think of a post-Civil War President with whom I differ more on politics than Truman (the pro-slavery Presidents were even worse):

You have the most in common with Harry Truman, the 33rd President of the United States. Truman was born in Lamar, Missouri, the oldest of three children born to John and Martha Truman. After graduating high school, Truman worked a series of clerical jobs and spent time as a farmer before enlisting in the Missouri National Guard. Truman commanded a regimental battery in France during World War I. Having horrible sight, Truman passed his eye test for the military by memorizing the eye chart. A sign of his tradtional heartland upbringing, Truman liked to sit down to a meal of steak and potatoes. Harry Truman was the last U.S. president that did not have a college degree.

You are a bit difficult to classify. You may well be a Socialist. However your greater than average commitment to equality may make you more of a Utopian Socialist. On the other hand your secondary commitment to liberty may make you a Social-Liberal. Check all links and see what you think.
Ehh, close enough.

Quote:
You are a moderate Democrat. You agree with Democrats more often than not, but have misgivings about some of their positions on key social issues, as well as their ability to defend the country. You remain supportive for now, but if Democrats keep moving to the left and taking their cues from people like Michael Moore, you may decide to jump ship.
I'm confused. But oh well, it's easy to make me laugh, so I ended up choosing the first answer for almost every one except the ones I didn't get. I'm much more radically left than democrats.

Liberal

You think liberty is important both for yourself and for all of humanity. You respect others and think it is important that everyone be given the opportunity to make decisions for themselves rather than have authority figures tell them what is best. The autonomy of every individual is important to you but you think there are times in which personal action needs to be restricted. As such you recognise that there is a role for government as long as it depends on the consent of the governed – this makes parliamentary democracy important to you. You prefer the role of government in economics and society to be small. In practice you will tolerate public sector activity as long as it is efficient and allows you to get on with your life. You are likely to advocate for both a predominantly free-market economy and a cosmopolitan and permissive culture.
