ADA - Measuring Ideology

Americans for Democratic Action have been measuring the ideology of politicians for decades. I'm sure most people here know that. Their data is available on there website:
http://www.adaction.org...

Also available is a short twenty question quiz to give you a Liberal Score. It asks you if you would have voted yea or nay on specific bills. Just go to the homepage and on the right there is a link under the map of the U.S.

I have a liberal score of 75. What does everyone else have?

I got a 15. Although, my answer to Question 7 probably didn't reflect my Liberalness properly, as my response was, "Nay, no more abortions."

Its funny how people these people who claim to be "liberal" support the Employee Free Choice Act, which is no more, no less, than simply allowing Union leaning employees to coerce others. As it stands now employees have free choice just as we do when we elect a politician.

Imagine if instead it was "voter free choice act" where the govt. demanded that everyone can see your vote.

Sorry for the rant.
I will take the test.

liberal is a funny word, though not as funny as "progressive"

80 out of 100 :)

No, Liberal means a liberal policy towards social freedom

Progressive means you're willing to respond to the changes in society.

Your Voting Record score is 25 out of a possible 100.
But my kid was distracting me... i'll have to take it again later... plus i need to read the whole bill before i would ever vote.

25/100

They say that they're planning on using the data to look at national trends.

I say thats silly because:
a) mostly liberals probly go to their site
b) the questions seemed not detailed & biased

It's like when Fox news has their txt in polls up on the screen and 90% of ppl agree that abortion is murder. It doesn't mean squat.
