Title: Politics: Where do you fit?
Post by Trisha on Apr 25^th, 2008 at 1:49pm

Another quiz, folks:

I've never felt that I totally fit in either of the major parties (Republican, Democrat). Now I know why... Because I'm a Libertarian!!! 8-)

Interesting. This quiz places me right on the line between Centrist and Libertarian. Maybe that's what happens when a Republican father and Democrat mother reproduce...they cancel each other out. ::)

There are some issues that I'm adamant about, some issues that I find really depend on the circumstances and some issues where I could really give a %#@&.

CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government

control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on

the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention

and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.

Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind,

tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what

they describe as "practical" solutions to problems

This sounds like me. Although, I never heard the term "Centrist" before. I've always just thought of myself as a conservative liberal. :)
