I'm pretty much right in the middle, with a slight Kerry lean for foreign issues and social issues but a slight Bush lean for economics. As I suspected I would be.

As for the questions:
Economics: 1-C, 5-D, 6-A.
Foreign Affairs: 1-C, 4-D, 7-D.
Culture: 1-A (although I would support B as well), 5-A, 7-A.

I have happy news for you, Felice. I suggest you find me online. :)

Anti-abortion! I would not have suspected. My work is cut out for me :)

Can you speak on this?

And I will find you online.

[farebellafigura]

Can I speak on it? Surely! And I won't get bitchy about it, too, which you know is rare for me

Nader, Nader, Kerry/Badnarik. I guess I'm more liberal than I thought.

While I think that voting third-party in a close election is moronic, I'm wondering... my state is so heavily Kerry, that my voting for Nader won't really bother the 30-point lead. But I would be a hypocrite to tell people not to vote third-party, and then vote third-party myself. I will have to review how I feel.

Anyway:

Econ: 1D 5D 6B
FrnP: 1A 4D 7C
Cult: 1D 5B 7A

Just a note on the quiz in general. It was interesting, but I think the answers are vague or overlapping in places. For example, on the abortion question, there's essentially no difference between C and D other than a (vain) hope that safe and legal abortion would be rare. (It won't, barring major advances in birth control and sex ed).

[glapsi]

Yeah, I agree with you. I pointed the same thing out to Dustin, who asked me in turn what the heck "lead a truly global effort against terrorism" means and other such safe, bland, nice-sounding answers.

But so far it's been interesting to read everybody's thoughts.
