#3 I also Reagan. Kinda surprised 'cause I thought I'd land a little further to the Libertarian side. Guess I'm reading too much Rantburg.

What's up with the "2004 Election Candidates" numbers? Is this saying John Kerry and Ralph Nader had that much overlap in outlook with Ronald Reagan? If so, doesn't seem so right.

Andrea, Reagan ... probably because most of us identify with his views?

#26 Because he was one of the best presidents the free world ever had, who won the Cold War, made America a strong nation again?

Posted by True German Ally 2005-02-20 5:57:24 PM|| 2005-02-20 5:57:24 PM|| Front Page Top

#27 Yes, that is what I am told. I just asked several folk's at the lodge where I am at
and the response's I heard were as follows:

1)He was good to the people.

2)HE helped the economy.

3)He was NOT a skirt chaser.

4) Many thought he brought his Hollywood talent
to D.C., was a hard worker and truly tries to accomplish all he possibly could.

5) one man told me he gave out a lot of money, loan's for college purpose's that did not need
to be paid back - which is how he could afford to go to college.

6) One man told me he gave Patty Hearst a pardon?

I can only remember getting off the school bus, walking in the house and my Mother yelling "President Regan was shot". Then the Brady law was passed during his term in office.
(James Brady who was shot/disabled).

For those of you upset with being aligned with Kerry, remember that if you hold any position at all, he'll agree with you 50% of the time.

Of the 38239 people who took the test:

2% had the same score as you.
82.2% were above you on the chart.
4.2% were below you on the chart.
13.8% were to your right on the chart.

Looks like a pattern are we all R.R. But I look to have the highest R.R. so far. Anyone beat 97.79%?

WELL?

#37 How can the survey hold any validity?
The choice's are filled with should have, could have, would have choice's. Moral's are not based on feeling's ex: 14 Financial security:
what is the difference between ONLY and First for individual responsibility. Same for Q 15.
The wording of the answer's effects the outcome.

#39 short test - 100% Reagan

....go figure. I checked q's 14 & 15 for clarification but didn't get any. I also had the same question about *first* versus *only* wrt charity, financial responsibility, etc.

#40 BTW, I took the test a couple times. When I just looked at the questions *without* clarifying any of them I came out way more conservative vice when I did click them for clarification. Seems that *nuance* thing really made me more sensitive, almost got in touch w/my inner child, *sigh*.
