So, you think you are a moderate republican

Just what is a moderate republican (I have heard this term on the forum before ;-) )?

I put together a list of questions in an attempt to answer the question are you a liberal, a conservative or do you fall somewhere in the middle.

Here they are--

Do you believe the ?rich? are undertaxed (Obamas definition is anyone making more that $250k)?

Do you believe a woman should be able to choose to have an abortion in almost all cases?

Do you believe religious symbols, including such things as the ten commandments should be banned from government buildings?

Do you believe that the government should provide a health insurance option to ensure every American has health insurance?

Do you believe capital punishment should be banned?

Do you believe the war in Iraq was unjustified?

Would you vote for Pelosi and Reid to lead the House and Senate over Boehner and McConnell?

Do you believe cap and trade should be put into law?

Do you believe gay marriage should be legalized?

Do you believe the right of individuals to own guns should be restricted any more than it is today?

Do you believe immigration policy should be loosened up to allow illegals to be treated more like citizens (ie: for healthcare, voting, education, etc)?

Do you believe that large corporation such as Exxon should pay more in taxes than they currently do?

Do you believe the patriot act should be repealed?

Do you believe racial profiling for terrorists should outlawed?

Do you believe it is wrong to waterboard known terrorists to get information that can save American lives?


In my opinion (but I know there will be disagreement), if you answered yes to less than four questions, you are a conservative. If you answered yes to nine or more of the questions, you are a liberal. If you fell somewhere in between, you are a moderate.
 
I had two "yes" answers: Iraq war was not smart and Patriot Act should be repealed. So I guess I am a conservative.

Do you believe the ?rich? are undertaxed (Obamas definition is anyone making more that $250k)? Poor definition - no pun intended.

Do you believe a woman should be able to choose to have an abortion in almost all cases? In any case.

Do you believe religious symbols, including such things as the ten commandments should be banned from government buildings? I believe in separation of church and state, but banning? I am not totally on board with banning.

Do you believe that the government should provide a health insurance option to ensure every American has health insurance? I believe in reform and proper regulation.

Do you believe capital punishment should be banned? I don't believe in capital punishment. If I am allowed a vote, I would vote against.

Do you believe the war in Iraq was unjustified? At the time, most (many) of us were for it. I think now, most (many) are against it. We are there and have to leave methodically. President Obama has already declared our exit date.

Would you vote for Pelosi and Reid to lead the House and Senate over Boehner and McConnell? I wouldn't vote for Pelosi for jack s***!

Do you believe cap and trade should be put into law? Should be a standard.

Do you believe gay marriage should be legalized? I couldn't care less and not sure I even believe in marriage at all.

Do you believe the right of individuals to own guns should be restricted any more than it is today? No.

Do you believe immigration policy should be loosened up to allow illegals to be treated more like citizens (ie: for healthcare, voting, education, etc)? No.

Do you believe that large corporation such as Exxon should pay more in taxes than they currently do? Why?

Do you believe the patriot act should be repealed? I have never had a problem with the Patriot Act (ID'ing purposes). I have a problem with the precedent set against the grain of the US Constitution and rights as Americans. But, isn't there chatter of a Justice Act?

Do you believe racial profiling for terrorists should outlawed? I think it's just profiling, right? If it's racially profiling, then I guess I look like I could be from the Middle East, as right after 911, every flight I took, I was pointed at, pulled out of line in security and searched. I had no problem with this.

Do you believe it is wrong to waterboard known terrorists to get information that can save American lives? I don't believe in waterboarding. I believe there are other methods that are effective in obtaining info. we need.

In my opinion (but I know there will be disagreement), if you answered yes to less than four questions, you are a conservative. If you answered yes to nine or more of the questions, you are a liberal. If you fell somewhere in between, you are a moderate.

How did I do? :biggrin:
 
9 Yes
6 No

According to your scale and based on my answers- I am a liberal (gasp)
