True, it is just a “toy”; however, it is a “toy” developed by a MAJOR news organization and linked to from their political homepage.

Statements like: “US forces should be withdrawn from Iraq” is divisive, not stereotypical. Something like “US forces should be withdrawn from Iraq ASAP” is more truthful and, frankly, more stereotypical.

Alternate explanation:

If you’re going to write a simple program for a website “toy” that will categorize you into one side or another… you probably need some divisive statements, right? It’d be kind of pointless (read: boring) if the “game” said, “You don’t fit a stereotype.”
