I sided 98% with the Green Party 93% with the Democrats - 86% with the Socialist - 54% with the Libertarians and 1% with the Republicans - I still vote Democratic 100% of the time if there is the slightest risk of throwing the election to a bunch of crackpots who sound like the nuts on Fox News. I would also add that according their polling I am in 50% agreement with the majority of Americans on most issues. So that is not that far out in left field as it sounds

Yet when you break down the categories, there is only one Green and zero Libertarian. Most are Democrat or Socialist. How very strange.

This time I just answered yes or no to the questions and left the ranking meter in the center.

Green Party:
on foreign policy, economic, social, environmental, healthcare, and science issues

Democrats:
on economic, foreign policy, domestic policy, environmental, social, healthcare, and science issues

Socialist:
on economic, foreign policy, social, environmental, and healthcare issues

Libertarians:
on domestic policy issues

Republicans:
no major issues

This time it greatly raised my Libertarian numbers.

Sat Dec 7, 2013, 10:25 AM
Dec 2013

and I got:

98% Republican

52% Libertarian (funny that is less than the 54% I got answering them honestly and I sided 98% with the Green Party 93% with the Democrats - 86% with the Socialist and 1% with the Republicans)

9% Democrat

5% Green

1% Socialist

In terms of siding with candidates it showed

97% with Mitt Romney Republican on foreign policy, environmental, immigration, social, economic, domestic policy, and healthcare

86% Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party

82% with Ron Paul

73% with Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party

and 56% with President Barack Obama

So when I intentionally tried to answer these questions like a Fox New - Tea Party - Right Wing Kook - according to this survey - I still end up in 56% agreement with Barack Obama

Sat Dec 7, 2013, 10:38 PM

Republican leaning voters - followed this or at least the principle based on this and voted for the party and the candidates who were actually closest to them on the issues? I guess there would be a lot more Democrats voting Green. But there would be a significant number of the less ideologically driven Republican leaning voters who would discover that they really agree more with the Democrats and a fair number who would vote Libertarian.
