An alternate Political Compass

[Centurion1]

Vast majority of the partisan people in the world are like it, and most adults, if they support a certain party that is, will do the same. Many of us, and maybe even me, will turn out that way too.

My mother watches FOX and CNN and she reads the Wall Street Journal . The woman just does not like John and never has. I didn't like Ron Paul either. I thought the test was fine until it tried to guess what president you voted for. The simple fact is that while the test was pretty good, political dilemmas are just not one black and white like some people think (including many young people like myself). Some questions were very ambiguious like the last question on law enforcement.

That is splendid . Although I would not watch the first two. In fact, I would not watch any news generally, unless it was the News Hour with Jim Lehrer (PBS). Reading news on the Net is safer.

The manner in which you worded your previous post caused me to assume your mother was one of those staunch partisans. And to some degree, this may be true, as I do not consider it wise to stick to one single party for one's entirely life in a nation such as America, where politics tend to focus on individuals more than in an other nation - in most world states people vote stolidly by party, and so did the Americans some time ago. Not so much today, a time where roughly 20% staunch Republicans and staunch 20% Democrats battle for the 60% undecided (research this if you wish, the 20% on each side is a true fact).
