I couldn't really tell. But I saw your political coordinates and took the test myself. I came out 2.8% Left, 33.3% Liberal. I used leaving it in the middle to indicate "I don't know." I'm persuadable on many of those and/or my opinions are too difficult to sum up with a one liner. I imagined somebody asking me each question on a phone survey, and I guess that makes me more skeptical of what somebody means precisely by some of those. I probably only had a strong opinion on a half dozen questions. And still I can't imagine voting Republican like I used to sometimes do. I'd like to see a moderator ask the current Republican field if any of the candidates believe in evolution again: if nobody raises their hand (as I'd expect), I will again have to write the whole bunch off as lunatics and/or liars. They might as well stamp "I'm deluded and proud of it" on their forehead or "I'm pretending to be deluded because I'm a sociopath." Either case, that precludes a vote from me and makes it a bit easier to determine where I should focus my attention.Tom Brownhttp://www.google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837159629100463303.post-50236878458727272282015-07-19T17:22:45.110-07:002015-07-19T17:22:45.110-07:00Did you attempt to contact Paul with a link to thi...Did you attempt to contact Paul with a link to this post?Tom Brownhttp://www.google.comnoreply@blogger.com
