Have you taken the "I Side With" quiz?

Turns out I'm pretty much to the left of just about everybody - I side 90% with Jill Stern of the Green Party.

Wouldn't vote for her, but I do side with her on the issues.

http://www.isidewith.com

Interesting quiz with lots of options.

and apparently with 79% of American voters on most issues, which means that most Americans are pretty damn liberal on individual issues. What happens to them when they go to vote???

Fun quiz, btw! Thanks!

Since they're not, I'll take Barack Obama at 87%. I can cope, nothing in life is ever perfect.

If they are talking about 79% of the people who took the quiz, a lot of conservatives are left out of the mix.

2nd at 87%. Didn't surprise me that I was 7% for Rmoney & 7% for Republican. Can't imagine where I messed up so that even got to 7%. Good quiz tho & easy to understand.

I also ended up with Jill Stern with 92% (which didn't really surprise me), 89% Obama. What DID surprise me is that I had something like a 16% agreement with the repugs. What the hell am I doing wrong??? Which 16% of me is bat-shit crazy??

"I side with Barack Obama on 88% of the issues in the 2012 Presidential election."

75% with US voters and 74% with PA voters. I'm surprised that PA is that liberal. They listed it in the Gary Johnson column!

12% with Robme. No major issues. But it gets me 74% Idaho voters on science, foreign policy and domestic policy. 90% Stein and 84 % Obama.

That tells me that Robme has way to much support from voters that don't agree all that much with him. They just hate Obama more than anything.

a strange 24% Romney but with no major issues which makes me wonder if "something different" or whatever it was may glitch it some.

71% with the American people, so not as fringe as some like to make out. I'll stick with the representation being dicey at the very best.

and sided with 85% (?!) of the Texas voters.

Oh, yeah. And I'm 11% Republican. But a little Compound W should clear that right up.
(Although I love how I don't agree with Mittens on any major issues.)

Now for the real fun - sending it to my...ahem...less than liberal aquaintances, and watching their heads explode when they realize they're on Obama's side.

- Jill Stein: 84%
- Barack Obama: 83%
- Stewart Alexander: 69%
- Gary Johnson: 55%
- Ron Paul: 44%
- Jimmy McMillan: 34% (THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!)
- Mitt Romney: 11%
- Virgil Goode: 8%

- Michigan voters: 77% (Michigan is more liberal than I thought)
- American voters: 71% (So is America)
- Green Party: 84%
- Democratic Party: 83%
- Libertarian Party: 52%
- Republican Party 11%

- Economic issues: Barack Obama 77%
- Science: Barack Obama 94%
- Healthcare: Jimmy McMillan 89% (???)
- Environment: Jill Stein 100%
- Social: Barack Obama 100%
- Immigration: Stewart Alexander 91%
- Foreign policy: Ron Paul 87%

Interesting results. Not too surprising that I'm to the left of the president. But no chance in hell I'm voting for Stein. I am a solid Obama supporter, and proud of it.
