(Reads the breakdown article, can't get the poll to work as had to block too many dubious/malicious scripts)
...My bullshit-o-meter is going insane with most of these answers and the questions themselves. I see ulterior motives in all the wording.
Suffice to say, it's doubtful I am ANYWHERE on this political spectrum they're selling. I am the orange-purple to this stark blue and red.

Golden Mean Fallacy, Fallacy of Moderation

By false attribution of their opposition as extreme, and their own position as moderate, the hope is to "normalize" their insanity and validate it to themselves and others as not-bugshit-insane.
Guess what, Rightwingnuts ?

Yes, apart from attribution of this solely to right wing political maneuvering, as this stinks of specifically straight up neo-con/ neo-liberal manipulation, I agree.
This is some new manner of ugly along the same lines as the neo-groups previously trying to unify both segments - much like how various forms of fascism were so far right they fell off the spectrum and picked up some left wing stuff. Once again they're trying to create a "merger" of right and left and call it "moderate" and "center" and I think it's going to be about as successful as the other historical attempts.
Very slick try though. I'm especially appalled by how they worded the question about the constitution. One step closer for them convincing people to do away with the Bill of Rights completely. Which is what some of them have always wanted.

Well, I was aiming for something like lefty-middle-left and came out Bleeding Heart.
Looking at the national results page, a lot of the questions I didn't see on my quiz. I feel jipped.

Maybe it means you're just to the right of Bleeding Heart? I don't know, what color was it? And does it itch?
