I side with no one.  

Still, as a practical matter, I took the poll:  I'm with the Greens on immigration, foreign, social, and science.  I'm with the Libertarians immigration, foreign, domestic, healthcare, and economic.  I'm with the Democrats on immigration, science, social, environment, and domestic.  I'm with the Socialists on immigration and social.  I'm with the Republicans on economic and healthcare.

Apparently, even though I think it is populated with wackos and I can't imagine ever giving them any money, I'm mostly with the Green Party overall (85%).

Our results are interstinly similar.  If the poll included preferred libations, we might be twins.  Smiley

haha.  We didn't see the vodka martini question, but that might be because we had already drunk too many vodka martinis by the time we took the poll.  Smiley

Well, this is fun, but the two guys who wrote the poll are a Green Party guy and a Libertarian, so what do you expect.  It's kinda spooky, though.  Sure, I make fun of the Greens and the Libertarians all the time, and I really think that both groups are fundamentally flawed, but on some level I respect their purism, and I have to admit that I agree with the Greens about half the time and the Libertarians about half the time (even though they're at opposite ends of the spectrum.)  My agreement with the two major parties isn't anywhere close to that.  I suspect that I agree with the Democrats maybe a quarter of the time and it's pretty similar for the Republicans, and this little questionnaire bears that out.

By the way, I clicked on your results and saw that my scores with Greens and Libertarians were higher than yours, respectively, but my scores for Democrats and Republicans were much, much lower than yours.  Most of the time, I listen to Democrats and Republicans and I think that they're both full of themselves.  Unfortunately, those are our only two choices for most elections.
