Non local polls I will participate in and I will tell you why I will vote for Ken Lucas.
Geoff Davis's TV adds sold me on Ken Lucas. If you listen to them, the bad things he said Ken Lucas has done are not really bad things. The things Ken
What Lucas has chosen to say about Geoff Davis I just say go figure. I was not surprised.
Geoff Davis, When I heard you speak here in town before I was a supporter. You lost me when you told me what Ken Lucas had done and was going to do. Might be a bad thing for you.
TV Ads can backfire.

Take a look at what the Libertarian arty wants.
Less Cop's and other public services.
Make you more self reliant by removing thins like Welfare, Medicaid and other services. College help, you can forget about it.
He said cut 30 million in government jobs and services. Think about that.
That big of an elected position is not voting a person it is voting a party.
Plan on your Dad moving in cause there would be no elderly services.
I might be being harsh but that is how I understand this party.

Wow, here is how I scored....
ACCORDING TO YOUR ANSWERS,
The political description that
fits you best is...
CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.
Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.
How People Have Scored
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Centrist 33.26 %
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right (Conservative) 8.74 %
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Libertarian 32.64 %
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Left (Liberal) 17.45 %
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statist (Big Government) 7.91 %
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Political Philosophies
Right (Conservative)
Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates "traditional values." They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a freemarket economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.
Left (Liberal)
Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded "safety net" to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.
Libertarian
Libertarians support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
Statist (Big Government)
Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today's world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties.

Very Interesting. I was not what I thought I would be on their scale. But it does make sense.
This is me:
LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and
economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one
that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose
government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate
diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

That pretty much describes me to a "T".:)

I took the quiz and according to it I am conservative - however, I didn't have the option to answer "non of my business" and when I tried to skip a question it wouldn't let me. IInteretsting but inaccurate I think. I believe in self sufficiency, hard work, helping those who need it , low taxes, less government interference (trans fats anyone???), responsibility and clean living . . . don't care what your sexual prefernece is or what consenting adults do . . . think child abusers are the scourge . . . if that is cinservative then (gulp- say it ain't so) I must be one . . . does that mean a chicken in every pot (amen) or a cloth coat (amen also)???

I piece of software is only as smart as the person that programs it.
Surveys are done on a point scale. This point scale is usually decided by the company or person that rights the script or code.
Example would be that the give you 50 points cause you say you don't like taxes (Which is everyone don't like taxes) but they only give you say 25 cause you say you are pro conservation.
Now if they say that people that don't like taxes are republican and people that like conservation are Democrats this is how you corner would go:
50-25= "25" that is a +25 score that says you are a republican in their eyes.
Now not all site use this system and I am not saying they all score like this.
What I am saying is don't stake you entire political beliefs and ideas into a piece of software that might have been written Solely to get people to join their party.
They should have a disclaimer of Entertainment only. Like this site.
