IMHO, the survey is bogus.

With same answers, by changing my party affiliation or my political views, I was able to change between Conservative Democrat, Disaffected, and Enterpriser. Any “moderation” on my answer led to “Disaffected.” If I’m conservative, or Republican, I’m an “Enterpriser.” Any liberalism or Democrat affiliation, and I’m a “Conservative Democrat.”

These folks were the original "Reagan Democrats" Remember Reagan was a FDR Democrat until the Cold War.

I suspect Sarah Palin may test out as either a Conservative Democrat or Enterpriser. I suspect a "Enterpriser" is closer to Barry Goldwater than to Reagan.

Remember, Reagan was able to bring disaffected FDR Democrats (like himself) into the GOP by appealing to their social conservative roots, something that the libertarian Goldwater could not do.

Conservative Democrats have their roots in Jacksonian democracy.
