Guess I'm in the right party.

I think this tests swings Right Conservatives towards libertarian to try and get them to switch parties..Here is another example. I have yet to see one Republican land in the Right Conservative arena.

I disagree:

Let's look at the questions the way a "typical" republican should answer them.

There are a lot of big government republicans out there.  They'll probably say Maybe to this.

So that's 80 on economics...

And we plot it:

Right smackdabed in the Right Conservative section.

stry_cat,

I disagree with your assesment of a typical Republican.

For social issues:

On #1, Republicans hate most regulations on content, such as equal time rules.  They oppose regualtions on political speech (campaign finance reform) and have an inordinate fear that they will have their right to free speech taken away by the PC police.

Then we can put them firmly in the maybe camp on this.  Like I said TV, Radio, and Internet they're usually the ones leading the charge to ban or filter content.

You're from California, you don't have any real republicans out there most likely.   Maybe it's just the high ex-military concentration in VA, but it's a very widely held view.

For most people this doesn't even enter their mind.  They're usually thinking "do I support the principles behind NAFTA (not the soverignty issues with NAFTA)?"     At worst they'll be a maybe here.

This question is about welfare not government services. Is it better for the government to help the poor or for your local church to help the poor?

That would be a Long term goal not an overnight thing.  Although I personally don't think there would be all that dramatic social reprecussions.

That seems to me to be how the typical Republican Congressman votes, so I'm not going to argue too much.
