My scores represent my agenda - I took it the first time and the results weren't liberal enough for me, because I tried to take into account real intellectual views. So I took it again with the attitude of a "NEO-CON" - NO GRAY, only strongly agree or disagree, and BAM!, now I'm as liberal as I want to be. If more liberals would see the error of their ways and start shoving our agendas down the throats of people like the NEO-CONS do, we could probably be more convincing. The problem with the liberal agenda is that it wants everything for everybody! We want rich people to stay rich but poor people to get rich, all the while keeping a small fraction of poor people for us to help in perpetuity! The NEO-CON agenda is far more easily deciphered: RICH PEOPLE AND GOD - GOOD, POOR PEOPLE, GAYS, UNIONS and LIBERALS - BAD!!!!

extelecom, what you said makes zero sense.

You left off the notion that some might have an "agenda" and wouldn't want any one to know the truth.

If that were the truth, the person would want to show scores that represented his dishonest intentions. In other words, if a person was working for a political party- let's say for the Republican party- but he posted on the boards as a liberal Democrat, he'd want his phony results to be posted. It would be even more convincing.

On a side note, I remember a guy on ragingbull.com who was a Republican but would come on the boards and say things like, "I knows dat the Republicens r stoopid. Dats y I am voting for a Demmocrat."
