Test to identify your voting habits

I get a 6, which says I'm a true swing voter. So it's clearly off for me, but we'll see about others.

1. Wrestling or Monster Truck?
Neither. Bud or Coors? Neither. E-bay or match.com? Never been to either.

I don't think my 5 is very significant.

3. It certainly didn't identify me
since I had to answer most of those questions "neither." I found the alternatives equally unpalatable.

I suppose they don't consider lefties to exist.

4. Worst political test I have *ever* seen
I scored a 10, which according to them means "red, enough said".

Yeah right.

Picking Dr. Pepper over Sprite, Audi over Saab, Discovery Channel over Court TV, college football over tennis, U.S. News & World Report over TV Guide, etc. makes one a Republican? Just two questions. What kind of shithead came up with *that*, and why would anyone in their right mind buy their book or hire them as political consultants?

12. I made a 6 also
I don't have bottled water in the fridge, but I picked Evian.

Court TV as an indicator for liberalism?? They must assume liberals have a sadomasochistic thing for Nancy Grace.

9. Scored a 9-I'm a Repuke!
I guess I shouldn't be voting democratic. Based on this, I'll be switching partys! Geez, I'm a Repuke. I'll find someone to rob now. Does this mean I have to put a dead animal head in the mailbox of one of non white neighbors? Kitty, where are you?

11. I scored an 8
If this is how political consultants are deciding who to target their ads to - they're wasting their time and the candidate's money.

15. Pukes watch Discovery and History channels?
Oh, they mean recently, like since Discovery became the Guns and War channel and History became the War channel.

If our guys are using that quiz, no wonder we lose elections. And here I thought it was Diebold.

17. Nooo, Discovery
has become a mecca for dysfunctional bikers - I still don't get the whole reality biker build off shows they have woven into their line up. The History Channel has always been a bit on the War side, History International is where all the good stuff is. I wonder why they didn't include National Geographic?

16. I got an 8.....
Way off - most of the choices were not even ones I would make but I picked one anyway just to see. It appears to be targeted to the MN crowd - Monster Trucks or Pro Wrestling? Don't think so.

It thinks I'm a Republican. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
(Edited to add: I've never voted for a Republican in my thirty years of voting and I'm sure not starting now!)
