    Rather than a left vs right test, I'd like to see a political gullibility test. Many of us get duped into believing just about anything that comes out of DC, regardless of where we sit on the ideological spectrum.

    A number of my friends say the same thing and yet some are pretty far off on both fringes.

    I guess comparitively i may seem one way or another.. i was just judging my leanings based on this 'test'.. It is naive and not adequate.. but thats all i was comparing myself too.

    I proabaly am one way or another..but i do think my thinking is just that middle ground.. maybe why i can see it from both perspectives.. others should judge though..not me.
