Bleeding Heart. -- nm - kelly Oct 16, 07:20
yes, and i will be voting for the inevitably viable third party centrist candidate...nm - x Oct 16, 07:14
What a poorly set up poll. You can't have the most negative on one end and then a question later have strongly agree on the same end. -- nm - volnelk Oct 16, 07:13 6
- My problem with it is this: Although I got 'bleeding heart' (not surprised), when I read their article on the 'new center' - ty97 Oct 16, 07:19 2
  - Agreed. I understand that I'm liberal, but I was sure that several of my answers would kick me to the right at least a little. Apparently not. -- nm - volnelk Oct 16, 07:22 1
    - I'll take the liberal title. I'll take the bleeding heart title. It's just that their article seems to conflict with their quiz results. - ty97 Oct 16, 07:23
- Yeah, I noticed that too. I actually started over because I wondered if I hadn't noticed it and did it wrong. -- nm - mara Oct 16, 07:16 2
  - Same here. -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 16, 07:25
  - me too.. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 16, 07:17

Nope. I'm one of the bleeding hearts. -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 07:04
Bank is blocking the quiz. Ha. -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 07:03
Interesting, I'm apparently a leftist. Like extremely left. Like David would be jealous. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 16, 07:01 2
- Considering our conversations, I I was surprised that I am similar to you :) -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 16, 07:24 1
  - Part of it is, when I believe something, I strongly agree becuase that's just my process. - Will Hunting Oct 16, 07:35
apparently I'm a Bleeding Heart -- nm - decline Oct 16, 06:59
Minivan middle -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 06:57 5
- me too. ugh. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 16, 06:58 4
  - ugh, because you're the same as me? That's not nice. - spamlet Oct 16, 07:00 3
    - minivan! me?!? -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 16, 07:00 2
      - Maybe we should rename it VW moderate? -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 07:02 1
        
        high five. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 16, 07:07
MBA Middle! -- nm - Strongbad Oct 16, 06:55
I don't like one question in particular. (spoils?) - spamlet Oct 16, 06:53 14
- abortion isn't a contraceptive method. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 16, 07:15
- spoilers - ty97 Oct 16, 07:11 3
  - I have seen times where it's included as "contraception" when speaking of the restrictions on Obamacare re:churches. - spamlet Oct 16, 07:19 2
    - I think the two get tied together because some faiths are opposed to both. But definitionally,they are separate AFAIK -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 07:20
    - That's because they misunderstand what the morning-after pill does. -- nm - mara Oct 16, 07:20
- Nobody means any kind of abortion when they say contraception, unless they don't understand what the words mean, or what the morning-after pill does. - mara Oct 16, 07:10
- I took issue with the one about - znufrii Oct 16, 07:07 6
  - yup, I thought that one needed help -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 07:19
  - "Fair share" is always code for "they're making out like bandits, I'm getting screwed here, what about meeeeee!!!???" - Roger More Oct 16, 07:19 3
    - Dog whistle. -- nm - mara Oct 16, 07:21
    - I know, and answered accordingly. -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 07:20 1
      - I thought you would, but "fair share" is one of my hated phrases and I never miss an opportunity to moan about it -- nm - Roger More Oct 16, 07:21
  - Yep. Badly worded. A few were like that. -- nm - TWuG Oct 16, 07:08
- Looks like there's a followup question but it should have been more clear. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 06:56
