Yeah I suppose. Don't see what this has to do with the average conservative's honesty, however.

We have oil deposits off the coast on New Jersey that might make the middle east worry.
The problem is we also have people here who rather than regulate it's drilling, cry about the possibility of spills, etc...
Pew Research said:There is a partisan divide in how people judge these behaviors. A majority of Republicans say seven of the ten behaviors are morally wrong; while a majority of Democrats and independents say just three of the behaviors (adultery, underreporting taxable income; drinking excessively) are morally wrong. Independents are the least inclined of the three partisan groups to view the behaviors as morally wrong and most prone to see them as "not a moral issue.

Let's stay on topic here.
Why not?
Not sure what your message is.Schweizer is lying through his teeth.
And...here's the tab on Ideology

Are you serious... it's nonsensical to ask someone if they lie....
Question: Do you lie?
Conservative: No
Question: Do you lie?
Liberal: Yes
Now who do you think is the most honest out of the conservative or the liberal? The conservative, because he says he doesn't lie, or the liberal, because we know at least he answered this question honestly.
Actually, it's more complex than that. I tend to use a short form of the Marlowe-Crown Social Desirability Scale. It measures that respondent's tendency to give answers that are socially desirable rather than accurate.
I'm not sure if I follow, so if a respondent gives socially desirable answers s/he must be lying?
Truly, I think liberals are more likely to acknowledge that certain things they do might constitute, cheating, lying, stealing etc.. legally, or bureaucratically, while conservatives see what others do as lying, cheating, stealing, but can't apply that to themselves. But I suspect conservatives would say the same thing about liberals.
However attractive this explanation might be for some, there is simply no basis for accepting this explanation. Validation studies, which attempt to figure out who misreports on academic surveys and why, has found no evidence that conservatives are less honest. Indeed, validation research indicates that Democrats tend to be less forthcoming than other groups.
That's really silly. I can't even begin to follow the chain of reasoning that concludes that "generosity and compassion" are tied to an American political persuasion.Jesus believed in generosity and compassion for mankind, which would be a conservative principle.
No. Let's say I ask about some sensitive topics. You give what is the pat socially desirable answer. In and of itself, I can't tell if you telling the truth or not. Let's say that I intersperse the MCSD scale into the survey though.
In that case, if you cumulative MCSD score is low, it's likely your not just giving the socially desirable answer. However, if you score is high, then you are more likely to be giving the socially desirable answer. You can then correct for high scores on the MCSD through statistical methods.
