  • How politically partisan are you?

    Partisan meaning that you identify with a political party and you toe your party's line on the issues. This is not intended to imply that a partisan person is less thoughtful or engaged than an independent. Maybe the party you chose just happens to be a fantastic fit for your political philosophy. Or the advantages of being on-message outweigh any reservations you have about your party's platform. If I'm fighting by your side when the ess hits the eff, I would prefer you be really, really, really dependably partisan.

    I think of Sean Hannity as the world's greatest partisan. Always perfectly on message, to a degree unmatched by the other commentators on Fox News. If you prefer a Democrat example, it's got to be James Carville, eh?

    Anyway, how much can I count on you to preach your party line on a scale of 1 through 10 (one being really independent, 10 being really partisan.) You don't have to reveal your party, just let me know your number.

    I'm about a 7 on the 1 - 10 scale. I have a clear preference and I can usually rationalize my parties' behavior, but I don't always agree.

      Partisan 0. I am a classic swinging voter and I vote differently depending on the level of government the vote is for.

          If I were appointed supreme dictator of the country, I suspect I would be a little bit more popular with registered Democrats than with registered Republicans.

          I also typically vote a straight Republican ticket, and will largely defend only Republicans in public discourse.

          I don't believe that this is inconsistent, and I am quite willing to be labeled as a partisan.

            I will vote for the occasional Democrat for state or local government, but probably not ever for the federal government. I'm pretty much a Republican, though I disagree with the GOP on several important things--primarily gay rights, the drug war, and immigration.

                I've never voted for a Democrat in my life. I vote straight ticket every election, son!

                But as a Philadelphia resident, my vote doesn't matter


                With that said, if the presidential election came down to a Michelle Bachmann or one of those other non-Romney retards vs. Obama... gah... I'd be abstaining.

                  I'm extremely partisan. On the other hand, I'm also extremely in favour of democracy. I have trained thousands of people of all political stripes on running elections.

                    I'm extremely partisan. I won't vote for douchebags. As you can imagine, this leads to me not voting very much at all...

                      Okay, so they hate gays, want to throw marijuana smokers in prisons with the rapists and murderers and keep brown-skinned people in poverty... but at least they won't raise your taxes!

                        I think we can pretty well figure out how partisan gribbler is based on that post.

                          My income tax rate was higher during the Bush administration than Obama. Strange.

                          Not sure why that is.
