Cool - but too vague. I came out a centrist. A left-leaning centrist,
right on the line. The following made me feel pretty superior to the
rest of you:

Centrists are ideologically flexible. Centrists recognize the complexity of


public policy choices and look to many kinds of solutions. Which solution
depends on the circumstances, the problem, and the public interest.
Ideologues repeat their slogans with little regard to the specific policy
problem at hand. Conservatives shout "private good, public bad."
Liberals*shout "public good, private bad." By contrast, the centrist

movement
can show politicians how to use both the private and public sectors (often

in
combination) to creatively solve problems that we would otherwise just

shout
about.


Same as me. With a photo of John McCain popping up on the "What is a Centrist?"
explanation to the right.

Works for me. I only use the classification of Liberal because I like the
results it gives with Conservatives, especially neocons. The drool marks really
mess up their highly starched shirts.
