To whom it may concern (i.e., those living in Super Tuesday states),
I've seen this before, but ISTR most recently seeing it linked in a
comment at www.SadlyNo.com:
http://static.crooksandliars.com/2007/08/candidate-grid.png
AFAIK, this is not a joke.
(I think the popular sense is that, given the chart's distribution, Bill
Richardson and Hillary Clinton would be on the dividing line between
Left and Right, and Richardson and John McCain would be on the line
between Authoritarian and Libertarian.)

I see. Sadly, No! is not really centrist, but extremist, unlike
Doppelbock, who thinks McCain is a centrist. I believe that's called "I
know you are but what am I?"

Do you have any legitimate logical arguments to raise against my claim
that Sadly No is a liberal site? Because childish ad-homs just make you
look like you have no good response, and I win by default.

Conservatives in the USA believe that government is useless, and when
they're elected, they do a lousy job to prove it. Have you been awake
for the last seven and a half years?
Liberals believe that taxpayers should get something for what they pay
in, apart from unnecessary wars. We believe in taxes for the wealthy and
large corporations. We believe that health care for profit, which has
only been going on since the early 1970's, is a terrible thing. Some
fear government health care. At the moment, we have corporate health
care, it hasn't worked out so well.

Yeah, you know, cuz they're just too stupid to think for themselves and
decide what they think is best for them.
You, of course, know what's best for them. So go rise and save them from
themselves.
