Your Political Profile
You are a solid Democrat. You are not as fiercely ideological or uncompromising as others in the party, but nonetheless remain a reliable supporter. If you could have your way, you'd like to see Democrats leaders take a slightly more accommodating approach on certain issues – and dial down some of their nakedly partisan and bitterly divisive rhetoric.

I think this one is good. Unsurprisingly I was labeled a liberal.

Liberal
You scored 35 Equality, 64 Liberty, and 35 Stability!
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.

George H.W. Bush
You have the most in common with George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States. Though he is most often identified as being from Texas, Bush was born in Milton, Massachusetts in 1924. His family moved to Connecticut where his father, Prescott Bush, would be elected to the U.S. Senate. Despite a privileged upbringing, Bush joined the U.S. Navy after graduating from private school and became the youngest naval aviator to that date. After serving in World War II, Bush enrolled at Yale University where he was named captain of the baseball team, even meeting Babe Ruth at one point. As president, Bush was the first Republican to appoint an African American to the Supreme Court (Clarence Thomas).
That was a shock. Not to worry. The quiz has little to do with actual politics.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?te...23429685776450
This one's not really all that accurate and the guy has a semi-mean spirit, but it's overall an interesting test. Funny at least.

Democrat
You won!
You are a Democrat. You represent all the positive achievements of America since Woodrow Wilson became president in 1912. The only problem is, you forgot to grow you spine back after President Clinton removed it in the mid-90s. So now you're just a sorry reflection of yourself. You routinely get your ass kicked by stupid, unattractive pigs who anyone with half a set of balls could easily beat in a general election. You can't agree with your fellow democrats on much, and you insist that all points of view are valid - even those points of view, such as "intelligent design" or being "pro-life," which are completely insane. To conclude, you have abandon all the principles which once made you great. Shame on you.
Not biased at all. You still want that property I was talking about?

Oh well. That should keep y'all busy for a while.

Yes, but you should take these tests anyway. Actually you should take the offensive ones too, just being prepared for the content.
The political cartoon one and the last satirical one are both pretty raw... but funny.

Socialist?
You scored 92 Equality, 78 Liberty, and 21 Stability!
You are a bit difficult to classify. You may well be 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 both links and see what you think. For information on socialist political parties worldwide see: http://www.socialistinternational.org/1What/info.html

Ill take a few more later. Quizes are always entertaining.

Yeah, no bias on that site. They obviously tried really hard to be impartial.

Aparently, I should stand for the LP, though some elements of it are more extreme than me.

You are a moderate. You agree with Democrats on some issues and Republicans on others, while rejecting the blind, naked partisanship of both sides. You base your vote on issues rather than ideology and principle rather than party, which makes you the quintessential swing voter the media loves to fawn over.

Hehe, the media loves me more than you, partisan.

Gerald Ford
290

You have the most in common with Gerald Ford, the 38th President of the United States. Ford was born in Nebraska as Leslie Lynch King, Jr. Ford's parents divorced when he was two months old, and when he was two years old his mother remarried Gerald Rudolph Ford, Sr., who gave her son his name. Though born in Nebraska, he grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Attending the University of Michigan, he was a star center on the football team, a three year letterman who was voted the teams most valuable player in 1934. Serving in the Naval Reserve, Ford took part in major operations in the South Pacific during World War II. Ford remains the only president that was not elected either Vice-President or President, rising to both offices because of resignations.

That was weird...

Default Political Humor

I took the political humor test:

"You are a moderate. You agree with Democrats on some issues and Republicans on others, while rejecting the blind, naked partisanship of both sides. You base your vote on issues rather than ideology and principle rather than party, which makes you the quintessential swing voter the media loves to fawn over."

Default All I Know Is That to Me, You Look Like You're Having Fun

According to the first one, I'm a moderate libertarian (which is true). The second one is at a new URL now and scores one's freedom index at x/10 rather than x/20:

http://www.ldp.org.au/quiz/index.html

Your economic freedom index is 8.5 (17/20), and your social freedom index is 6.5 (13/20).

The fourth test is brilliant and measures my politics perfectly:

Liberal
You scored 35 Equality, 78 Liberty, and 21 Stability!
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.

Thanks for the links, JavaBlack!

heres what I got:

Fascist
You scored 0 Equality, 35 Liberty, and 100 Stability!
Stability is so overwhelmingly important to you that you wish to return to an era that may never have existed exactly as you imagine it. You may be prepared to support some very drastic action to preserve or re-establish traditions and institutions that make you feel safe and secure. For you a sense of belonging is very important and you can get passionately romantic about ‘the land in which our ancestors lie’. Government in the hands of your opponents is something to be scared of but government in the hands of those you trust can be something to cherish. Under such a government you will feel as if you belong to one big family that embraces everyone. However you will be very wary of anyone who is excluded by that ‘family’ and may need to report disloyal behaviour to the government. This you can conveniently do as they have an agent stationed in every neighbourhood! You cherish your traditional culture but in some cases it may need to be reinterpreted to better serve the regime. You tend to value private-enterprise but feel that some government intervention in economics is needed to preserve your orderly way-of-life. If this is all a bit much for you then try the Ultra Conservative on for size.

Social-Conservative
You scored 78 Equality, 21 Liberty, and 78 Stability!
Your commitment to both equality and stability puts you in the hazy area that exists between the Socialist and the Conservative. This combination may seem unusual but consider the way in which both think loyalty to community takes priority over loyalty to oneself. You recognise the value of traditional culture and institutions. You also value government intervention in the economy. You hope that a combination of traditional values and interventionist economics will protect your way of life. You are concerned that the twin forces of free markets and permissive culture promote selfishness and erode community standards.
