Title: Should you vote Republican or Democrat?

Your Vote Score: 53% Republican, 47% Democrat

You are truly an independent voter, and you don't fit well with either party.
Maybe you should choose one issue to vote on - or look into third parties!

I wish the Libertarians would get their act together

While you don't always agree with the Democrat party, it's a pretty good match for you.
Do be sure to research each candidate. A liberal Republican or independent candidate might fit you better at times.

Your Vote Score: 20% Republican, 80% Democrat

You fit well with the Democrat party, and you should almost definitely vote Democrat this election.

In fact, you're so strongly Democrat, a political career (or at least some activism )may be in your future.

Huh.  Go figure.

Pretty stupid survey.  Here are my real answers:
People have a right to unrestricted gun ownership.
Disagree, but they do have a right to gun ownership, subject to reasonable restrictions based on society's important interests such as crime control and child safety.

Abortion should be illegal in all cases.
Disagree, but restrictions per Roe v. Wade and parental or judicial oversight of minors' decisions are acceptable

Drugs, including marijuana, should be illegal.
Not really sure about this.

Taxes should be lowered for all income brackets.
Disagree, most of the time.  Sometimes taxes should be raised and sometimes they should be reduced  

Marriage is only for a man and a woman. Gay people should not be allowed to get married.
Strongly disagree on this.  Doesn't affect me one way or the other.

Social security should be replaced with private accounts.
I'm not paternalistic, but I realize that the decisions made by others can affect me in the long run.  So society has an interest in a social safety net of some kind.

Stem cell research is unethical.
Disagree.  I guess I understand why people would think it is unethical, but it seems very attenuated to me given the real benefits of the research.

We need to stay the course in Iraq. Pulling out is not an option.
We should move towards pulling out and stay in only as necessary to keep the place from falling apart (and only if they make real progress politically).  The threat of pulling out has forced the Iraqis to move together almost as much as the Sunni reawakening has.  I'm still not sure about the role of the surge.

Parents should be able to choose between competing schools for their kids with vouchers.
I like school choice, but we have great system of public school choice here in Tulsa.  Let's give that a chance.  The problem with private school choice is that they don't have to keep the troublemakers or those that can't keep up (high cost students), so the public schools and taxpayers are stuck with them.  

Oil companies should be left alone to run their businesses as they choose.
The issue is whether we should subsidize them.

While you don't always agree with the Democrat party, it's a pretty good match for you.
Do be sure to research each candidate. A liberal Republican or independent candidate might fit you better at times.

I don't like vouchers, but I do like charter schools and giving parents the opportunity to transfer their children out of low performing schools.

Medicinal Marijuana should be legalized.

Taxes should be lowered whenever possible, just not necessarily for all income brackets, or at the expense of adequately funding infrastructure, public education, or public services.

Private accounts for Social Security is not the answer. One look at the subprime loan scandals and the mortgage meltdown tells what will happen if the free market gets a hold of these accounts.

Gays have just as much right as anyone else to be miserable(just kidding). It really doesn't matter to me if they want to get married.

If men could get pregnant, abortions would be a drive through medical procedure. Keep abortion safe, legal, and rare through sexual education, family planning, and access to birth control.

Outside of background checks to screen people with criminal backgrounds or histories of mental illness and law enforcement measures to combat illegal black market arms trafficking, I don't support any government restrictions on gun ownership for law abiding citizens. I happen to like the fact that Oklahoma has concealed carry laws and the stand your ground law.

Oil companies should have a special place in Hell.

Bring our soldiers back from Iraq. Declare victory or mission accomplished or whatever and go home.

Man, I wonder if I answered everything the same as unreliablesource, lol

Some of the questions were worded in ways where I couldn't help but go the other way, in an absolute sense.  I can't agree with banning abortions in an absolute, no exceptions manner.  Banning gay people from getting married also seems to go against what this country was founded on, liberty and protecting the rights of citizens, not restricting them.

Mine was 96% Democratic.

But I don't care who you choose to vote for.  Just remember - it's YOUR country and YOUR vote is YOUR voice in how the country is run.

I don't think any of the regulars here could be accused of apathy when it comes to politics, but I know there a quite a few lurkers who may decide to sit out this election.  Please don't do that!

You are truly an independent voter, and you don't fit well with either party.
Maybe you should choose one issue to vote on - or look into third parties!

  1. People have a right to unrestricted gun ownership.
         * Agree ("unrestricted"
is too absolute to strongly agree)

  2. Abortion should be illegal in all cases.
         * Agree (absolute language again)

  3. Drugs, including marijuana, should be illegal.
         * Disagree (I'm OK with heroine being illegal...)

  4. Taxes should be lowered for all income brackets.
         * Agree (not strong because we still need to pay our bills, need less spending to lower all taxes)

  5. Marriage is only for a man and a woman. Gay people should not be allowed to get married.
         * Disagree (disagree not strong  because I don't care if you call it "marriage" or recognize a legal union)

  6. Social security should be replaced with private accounts.
         * Agree (has to be done right or it will be worse than it currently is)

  7. Stem cell research is unethical.
         * Strongly disagree (the research is not unethical, perhaps the method of getting new cells is but not always)

  8. We need to stay the course in Iraq. Pulling out is not an option.
         * Agree (it is an option, but not preferred)

  9. Parents should be able to choose between competing schools for their kids with vouchers.
         * Not Sure (I've seen too many schools in Tulsa that are Religious schools that also teach other subjects.  "American History for Christians" or "Biology for the Christian Student" are just a scary textbooks.  more so when you leaf through them [did you know Ben Franklin was a good Christian man?])

 10. Oil companies should be left alone to run their businesses as they choose.
         * Agree (I'm OK with pollution control and other regulations, so not strong)

McCain and Obama are, in fact, the only candidates running for president in OKLAHOMA.  we will (again) be the only state in the nation with only 2 choices.   Yay for Democracy (funny how those that are in power can agree on anything if it serves the purpose of retaining their power).

Look at the results of this survey.  MOST people are not solid on one side or the other.  But we have two choices.  Just the honest possibility of another choice can keep the parties in line and from pandering to the extremes.

A Federal lawsuit has been filed against the Oklahoma law.  


10 reasons why Oklahoma's Ballot Access laws are broken:

1 . Oklahoma was the ONLY state limited to just
two choices for president in 2004 and will be again in 2008.

2 . HALF of Oklahoma's state legislative races
were unopposed in the 2006 general
election.

3 . Oklahoma's ballot access law for third
parties is the MOST RESTRICTIVE in the nation:
requiring over 73,000 signatures to form a
party in 2006 and nearly 50,000 signatures for
2008. 4. This was TEN TIMES the recent per
capita requirement in Texas, Missouri, and New
Mexico.

4 . Oklahoma is one of only FIVE states that
do NOT allow write-ins.

5 . According to a recent Ballot Access News
article, Oklahoma is also the most restrictive for Independent presidential candidates.

6 . The Oklahoma legislature has demonstrated
it will ignore reforming our restrictive ballot
access laws, with four reform billsb introduced
since 1999, all denied even a committee hearing.

7 . The Oklahoma Supreme Court refused to
hear an appeal this year on a ballot access case, even though Oklahoma's Constitution says, "All elections shall be free and equal.c"

8 . The Ballot Access Reform initiative petition
would return the number of signatures required
to form a new political party to 5000, the
requirement that existed from 1924 to 1974. This
would make Oklahoma the 30th state requiring
5000 signatures or less this year for new parties or independent presidential candidates. It would also make it easier for a new political party to demonstrate support and stay on the ballot.

9 . During the 50 years that the 5000
signature requirement was in place, only four
parties, including the Republican and Democratic
Parties, were on any one ballot.

10 . OKLAHOMANS ARE READY for
increased voter choice. Oklahoma Democrats
chose from nine presidential candidates in 2004
and both parties will have nearly that many
choices in 2008. The 2 favored parties can have multiple choices, just not when it decides actual offices.

I know the media has a liberal bias.You can tell what their bias is by the stories they refuse to air  and the ones they do air.Fox is no better.They do the same stories as everyone else does,their talking heads may have a conservative slant but that doesn't mean the news Fox as a whole reports is conservative.

http://www.cmpa.com/releases/07_12_21_Election_Study.pdf (//%22http://%22)

These results are from CMPA's 2008 ElectionNewsWatch Project. They are based on a scientific content analysis of all 481 election news stories (15 hours 40 minutes of airtime) that aired on the flagship evening news shows on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX (the first 30 minutes of "Special Report with Brit Hume") from October 1 through December 15, 2007.

...

Who's Fair and Balanced?: Fox News Channel's coverage was more balanced toward both parties than the broadcast networks were. On FOX, evaluations of all Democratic candidates combined were split almost evenly – 51% positive vs. 49% negative, as were all evaluations of GOP candidates – 49% positive vs. 51% negative, producing a perfectly balanced 50-50 split for all candidates of both parties.

On the three broadcast networks, opinion on Democratic candidates split 47% positive vs. 53% negative, while evaluations of Republicans were more negative – 40% positive vs. 60% negative. For both parties combined, network evaluations were almost 3 to 2 negative in tone, i.e. 41% positive vs. 59% negative.
Who, you're probably asking, are the CMPA?  Glad you asked:

The Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) is a nonpartisan research and educational organization which conducts scientific studies of the news and entertainment media. CMPA election studies have played a major role in the ongoing debate over improving the election process. Our continuing analysis and tabulation of late night political jokes provides a lighter look at major news makers. CMPA is one of the few groups to study the important role the media plays in communicating information about health risks and scientific issues.

Since its formation in 1985, CMPA has emerged as a unique institution that bridges the gap between academic research and the broader domains of media and public policy. Founded by Drs. Robert and Linda Lichter, CMPA has become an acknowledged source of expertise in media analysis.

The Center's goal is to provide an empirical basis for ongoing debates over media fairness and impact through well-documented, timely, and readable studies of media content. CMPA's bi-monthly newsletter, Media Monitor, is a prime example of these analyses. Our scientific approach sets us apart from self appointed media "watchdog" groups, while our timeliness and outreach distinguishes us from traditional academic researchers.


And all of this when NBC reporter Lee Cowan goes on the Air and says he is PRO Obama because he likes the guys Candor.... Then Brian Williams sticks up for the reporter and says he was very brave for doing that...  Looks as if objective / Agenda Reporting is accepted at NBC for NEWS, NOT just objective Opinion shows...

That's nothing. Every news outlet used to accept talking points and Fox will accept them from any President or candidate. The mainstream media will only accept them from Liberals. Liberal Presidents and candidates ignore FOX, so it's a moot point, much like the Liberal thought process.

There were college research studies out long before this one, showing that although fox leans SLIGHTLY to the right, they are far and away more balanced than any other mainstream or cable news organization. The others are so far to the left that it just seems that FOX is far to the right. That just shows how anti freedom of choice and expression you left wingnut, airbags are. You want to shut any voice down, that doesn't follow your train of thought, oh..., in the name of "open mindedness". You people are a caricature if what it is to be a lying cheating, all is expectable behavior, in the name of getting my way, HYPOCRITES!

I know your gig. You use examples like O'Reilly, an OPINION journalist, to make your point. You know he's an OPINION JOURNALIST. The news...., you know the part where FOX stops expressing any personal opinions and all other main stream stations and news papers do not...., that's what I'm talking about. Like Slick Willy didn't hand out talking points. SURE. You know better or you're an obstinately blind idiot. There's no 3rd option, so which is it?
