There were some questions that I didn't like either answer to so I went more Conservative on them just to see how that would effect it:

I hated the options. These issues have so much more depth than just two options.

Do you feel that you were portrayed unfairly? If so, in which direction? Because I think this little quiz pretty much nailed it with me.

There were a few questions that I could not properly answer by just choosing one.
# Carrying a gun is:
* Taking responsibility for one's own defense
* Dangerous and sketchy
I want to say YES to both

Doesn't look so good for your self procaimed "card carrying liberal" status.

I've taken SEVERAL of these tests and ALWAYS came out more of a liberal than conservative. I'm proud that I'm able to see the value in both sides.

No, I just didn't like the options on things like gun control and immigration. Guns are sketchy and dangerous in some folks hands while others can handle them just fine.
Immigration policies might need to be more strict in some areas. Illegal immigrants are often used as drug mules. And less strict in other areas especially when deportation might mean breaking up a family, or sending someone to back to a violent drug cartel-run area.
But, I probably am 80% liberal,
If you have to put me in a box.

# Everyone has a right to health care, even if they can't afford it
* True
* False
IMO the question should have said Everyone has a right to BASIC health care.
I don't think the taxpayers should have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on one person.

# All authority, by its nature, should be questioned
* False
* True
Another question I did not answer. I want to say yes but the question is too broad. If a cop tells me to put my hand up do I question that?
I probably should have said yes which of course would have made me more liberal. Sometimes I think we have to trust our authority, Like when we went in to Pakistan and killed Ben Laden.
I saw all the whiny libs like Ponder questioning why, what good it did and should we have went in to another country.
I say hell yes and good for our AUTHORITY.

I also saw you cleverly avoided giving your total score, so you can still claim to be a "card carrying liberal" while still scoring 50% conservative.

# The problem with the US justice system is:
* Too many plea bargains and loose interpretations of law
* Not enough rehabilitation and prisoner's rights
Plea bargains are very very necessary. There is no way our justice system can give a trial to every single person.
IMO prisoner have all the rights they need. If it was up to me they would not be allowed mail which is a way they still run illegal operations, they put contracts out on people. They basically run illegal business by mail. Not to mention drugs that are brought in by the mail.
As far as rehabilitation I think we should spends as much as we can any convict who wants rehabilitation.

What? I thought I copied and pasted the entire thing. I didn't avoid anything, I'll go back and copy it again.

I'm pretty sure it has me more conservative because I didn't answer so many questions. The test is lame. It assumes your basic lib wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. It assumes that the basic lib thinks bushinesses need to be totally eco friendly even if it makes them go bankrupt.
It assumes that all libs think we don't even need immigration laws.
The test asks.............
# Immigration policies
* Should be more strict. Too many people enter illegally.
* Should be less strict. Immigrants enhance this country.
YES It SHOULD be more strict and YES Immigrants DO enhance this country... That's why we allow ONE MILLION LEGAL immigrants to enter every freaking year.
You Are 60% Conservative, 40% Liberal

OK, that's honest. And, about what I'd expect, judging from your posts. Hardly a "card carrying liberal".
