...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Here's a not-so-dumb-ass political quiz that i found on NakedVilliany, which was created by Tony Pierce.
1. Which political party do you typically agree with? The Republican Party.
2. Which political party do you typically vote for? The Republican Party. The only Democrat i have ever voted for in any election was Diane Feinstien.
3. List the last five presidents that you voted for? In 1996 i voted for Bob Dole in the general and Steve Forbes in the primary. In 2000 i voted for George W. Bush in the general and Alan Keyes in the primary.
4. Which party do you think is smarter about the economy? The Republican Party.
5. Which party do you think is smarter about domestic affairs? The Republican Party.
6. Do you think we should keep our troops in Iraq or pull them out? Keep them in until there is a stable, pro-U.S. democracy in place.
7. Who, or what country, do you think is most responsible for 9/11? Al Qaeda and violent Islam.
8. Do you think we will find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? No.
9. Yes or no, should the U.S. legalize marijuana? Yes.
10. Do you think the Republicans stole the last presidental election? Quite the contrary. The Republicans barely avoided an all-out attempt by the Democrats to steal the election.
11. Do you think Bill Clinton should have been impeached because of what he did with Monica Lewinski? No. He was impeached for committing purjury. i believed then, and still do, that he should have been impeached. Although i wanted him to be convicted at the time, in retrospect, it was probably for the good of the country that the Senate acquitted him.
12. Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good president? Absolutely not.
13. Name a current Democrat who would make a great president: Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller.
14. Name a current Republican who would make a great president: Besides Bush, Dick Cheney, Rudy Giuliani.
15. Do you think that women should have the right to have an abortion? No.
16. What religion are you? Roman Catholic.
17. Have you read the Bible all the way through? No.
18. What's your favorite book? Ana Karenina.
19. Who is your favorite band? Favorite performer? AC/DC, Frank Sinatra.
20. Who do you think you'll vote for president in the next election? George W. Bush.
21. What website did you see this on first? NakedVillainy.com.
Update: Re-reading this entry in January 2005, i would probably remove Zell Miller from number 13, and add Evan Bayh and Dick Gephardt.
Be happy that you are not going to Boalt Hall for Law School. With answers like yours (mine, almost exactly, (except for pro-choice)they'd hang you at Sather Gate.

Posted by: Casca on May. 26, 2004Did you fill this in weeks ago? We DID find WMD's, despite the goalposts being immediately moved and the story buried or ignored.
FWIW, I voted for McCain in the Massachusetts GOP Primary in 2000, which he won; in retrospect, I am frequently exceedingly glad that he lost the nomination.
I like to say in the abstract that I don't kneejerkingly vote Republican, that I would consider every candidate in every race on the merits, but in all honesty, I must admit that I've never once voted for a Dem, ever. That's not saying it could never happen, but I doubt it.
Anyone who thinks the Gore campaign and its proxies were pure as the driven snow (that we never have, but that I'd love to see fuck with the locals' heads) here in Tallahassee, doesn't know this state at all, especially not the Florida Supreme Court, the 9th Circuit of state judiciaries.
Posted by: Dave J on May. 26, 2004Thanks for pointing out that Clinton was not impeached over sexual escapades with an intern. This is a fiction that we will all have to beat back for the rest of our days. Even during the Senate Trial, the fiction had begun, as all Dems cried out that "it was about sex."
The impeachment was about a President illegally using the power of his office to sway a court case against a very unpowerful citizen. AND the President threw in some perjury for good measure.
Posted by: gcotharn in Texas on May. 26, 2004Thanks for the links. It wasn't a hard quiz, but one that can get some pointed questions answered.
Posted by: The Maximum Leader on May. 27, 2004The last time I checked, Bob Dole was never a president :)
Posted by: Steve S. on May. 27, 2004I was with you until your views on abortion.
I hope that you never -- EVER -- have to make that choice.
Posted by: Emma on May. 28, 2004Amen to The Chairman. AC/DC ain't too bad either...
Posted by: Todd on May. 30, 2004pro-U.S. democracy [in Iraq]
What if that turns out to be a contradiction in terms?
Posted by: Joshua on Jun. 1, 2004Difi? You voted for Difi? Please tell me the night before that particular election someone slipped something potent & long lasting into your drink.
I have debated whether or not to ask, but considering Difi making an AWB attempt again I have to ask - Why?
Arnie was bad enough (he too made some recent press statements about wanting the AWB renewed) but Difi?
Of course you don't have to explain if you don't wish to, but this is as shocking to me as it would be to you if I said we should scrap all Garands & use the metal to make more M16's (Shudder to the Nth degree).
Posted by: Publicola on Jun. 3, 2004You must be an idiot if you think Cheney would be a good President. Guess that goes without saying since you voted for Bush and Keyes.
