    Wow. I just registered with Typepad just so I could comment on this entry :)
    I am a Centrist as well, but it put me more toward "Big Government", which cracks me up to no end.

    Ha... that would explain it. Regardless, it was fun.

    This quiz is VERY libertarian weighted. That is where I originally got it. A Libertarian candidate for State Congress gave it to me.

    As I understand it, these questions are designed to make you more libertarian than you might otherwise be. I wound up in roughly the same place as you, Randy, but slightly more libertarian.

    Oceanskater, I am so glad you registered with typepad... it wasn't that hard was it?

    I think it's funny it put you toward big government too.

    Jack, I checked out the site a litte further and you are right. It has to be purposefully slanted toward Libertarian. Even the graphic sends a pro-libertarian message.

    I mean come on *me* a centrist just left of center? Maybe halfway between the center and the right but not tilted toward the left.

    However, I am not real thrilled with either the left OR right at the moment so maybe it is picking up on that.

    Wow, lots of gymnastics to post a comment,Randy!

    Okay, so I'm a "Conservative Libertarian"...who knew? I didn't know there was such a thing.

    Well Joyella, you are here and the spammers are not ... and I rejoice for both situations.

    Thanks for jumping through the hoop.

    Most of my favorite bloggers are self-confessed conservative libertarians.
