That doesn’t get to the heart of my complaint, though. The test is fine at telling if people are Democrats or Republicans. It’s basically a self-selective mechanism using code-words and phrases that we all already understand.

The ‘going deeper into debt’ question is a good example. It’s true that Democrats will say it’s okay to go deeper into debt in order to help out the ‘needy’. But what if the ‘even if it means going deeper into debt’ was asked about subjects that the Republicans generally support, like building a fence on the border with Mexico, or deporting illegal immigrants?
