      I have respect for most viewpoints, regardless of spot on the political spectrum. However I don't respect people who get a lower economic score than social score.

        I respect social liberals too. They aren't bad people. But people who even get anything less then -1.5 on the economic score, I can't understand. How can you believe in illogical economic views that are proven not to work?

            No vote for Fez would count since Fez is not a naturalized citizen.

            HAVE A DAY.
            <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
            "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
            For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

              I thought it was just 'cos I'm a eurocommie that the economic zero seems pretty far to the right, but if Fezcarlo thinks that down to -1.5 is reasonable, that's saying something.

                    Notice that I have a difference of 11 between my scores.

                    If you're just a lefty, you might as well be further left when the leftists are actually right.

                    By the same token, if you're a right-winger, you might as well be on the right when they're right. But if you're further left when the leftists are wrong, and further right when the right-wingers are wrong, you're just an idiot.

                              And the real one:
