Too lazy to copy/paste the codes, I will say that I am Liberal and a Democrat, according to both tests. But as a European, I am not sure what the hell difference it makes.

Gotta say, I think it's a pretty horrible quiz. I understand the need to break things down into "A or B" scenarios for surveys like this, but some of them were just awful:

Quote:
2. Immigration policies

Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country.
Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally.
Neither of those choices really reflects the primary issue.

This one is just laughable:

Quote:
19. The problem with the US justice system is:

Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law
Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights
Also, I'm not really sure how thinking that the Iraq war is justified or not signals that you're a liberal or conservative.

Anyway. I have lots of problems with most of the questions, but here are my results:

Your Political Profile
Overall: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal
Social Issues: 25% Conservative, 75% Liberal
Personal Responsibility: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal
Fiscal Issues: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal
Ethics: 0% Conservative, 100% Liberal
Defense and Crime: 50% Conservative, 50% Liberal

They managed to determine all of that from just 20 questions, huh? Actually, most of those seem somewhat accurate for me, except the personal responsibility one. I expected that to be either 50/50 or favor the conservative side. But again, I think a lot of the questions were poorly worded, and I wasn't able to make the choices I wanted to.

This one is indeed a much better survery, many more questions, and more than two options on each question. Some questionable questions, though... but some really great and subtle ones, too. My favorite, though:

Quote:
24. It should be legal for two consenting adults to challenge each other to a duel and fight a Death Match.
Hell. Yes. We definitely need more of this in American society.

I hope to god nobody here is deluded enough to agree with this, though:

Quote:
33. Being poor and black is an advantage in getting into college.
Anyway, my results:

You are a

Social Liberal
(81% permissive)
and an...
Economic Liberal
(25% permissive)
You are best described as a:
Strong Democrat

You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

Yea I see now that that quiz is pretty basic and not accurate! I like the second quiz better.

I hope to god nobody here is deluded enough to agree with this, though:
I picked yes for this...Do it at the half-time of Super Bowl XL ("40") between William "the Upright turdburger" Shatner & George "the Holy burning Biblical Talking Shrub" Bush

Hell, People who hate football would turn in this watch this...At least network TV would finally be watchable. Talk about a real reality show called "Survivor"

Of course I think "turdburger" would void the noid known as the Shrub by unbuckling his belt and letting his gut out to squash the Prezidunce.
