Classify your political thinking ARE YOU WAY LEFT OR RIGHT?

How do you think most readers of Toledo Talk lean politically?
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1= Far left, so far you may as well turn around and call yourself a near socialist, leftwinger, or radical leftist. A 10 is a Far right winger, or so conservative that you would never let a tax increase be passed on to the rich regardless of your own economic condition. A 5 or 6 is right down the middle, sorta like the last two presidents have tried to be (but not the current one)

Most people already assume they know based on your posts. As for me I am a pretty strong 8+ How did I get there? Went from mid 3's to 9 at least and have settled in about 8+ If you are so inclined tell us you are where you are too.

It will be great when the board is split into categories... that you can filter out.

(That's coming, toledolen.)

Small surveys exist to provide a numeric political or social value.

September 2004 Toledo Talk posting titled Check your political compass that links to a five-minute survey at http://www.politicalcompass.org .

November 2006 Toledo Talk posting that links to the World's Smallest Political Quiz .

Some Toledo Talk users took the Political Compass survey and posted their results in that 2006 thread. Then babbleman plotted those results on a chart from the Political Compass survey.

Arbitrary scales are kind of useless in the real world. Nothing is black and white and both sides have both good and bad feelings.

Guess I'm a 5. Though I'd prefer option C, to use common sense to make the best decision possible that benefits the most people without predefined limitations like being to left or right.

I'm up. :)

It doesn't count if you already know the answers, Mike.
