1 Bush Score: 100%
2 Lieberman Score: 69%
3 Clark Score: 55%
4 Dean Score: 53%
5 Edwards Score: 53%

Although a lot of the presidential questions were simply "would you rather expand government this way, or that way?".

I score 1.25/1.33.

Love to see FactsOfLife's score!

As for the Presidential Preference, mine is almost the exact same as Shartley's. Just flip Clark and kerry and the rest match. Bush did get a 100% though!

I got around 2, -4. Pretty accuarate, I suppose. But the President one was completely wrong.

Put a libertarian on there, and give us choices besides growing government.

Damn right. The Libertarian Party is the one I seem to agree with the most, but I think some parts are a little extreme. I'm all for the least amount of government intrusion necessary, but I think they go a little overboard sometimes. Like their view of education. Theoretically, private companies would step in to take the place of public schools. However, I don't see how there's any money to be made in educating, say, inner city kids, but it still needs to be done. At a certain point, cutting everything seems irrespnsible. I think many things should be eliminated, Welfare, Social Security, War on Morality (Drugs, FCC {could you imagine how much funnier Howard Stern could be?}), etc. but I think a complete overhaul on a realistic grounds is necessary for education, the military (we shouldn't be the world's police, but I think we should stop genocide), business regulations (let's face it, completely unchecked, big business would be a nightmare), and others.

How the heck did you quote something I edited out 20 minutes earlier...lol

No matter, I was just being cautious because I dont think "the majority" of the questions were really that bad.

I would bet most dems/repubs/greens/commies would say the same thing. Every party has some things you wouldn't want implimented to the extreme. The Libertarians are definatly "most right" by a huge margin though (imho obviously). A vote for a libertarian isn't a vote for the total destruction of government any more than a vote for a democrat is a vote for pure socialism (although that last one is close ).

Interesting that Lieberman would be my second choice...I've always found him irritating to listen to.

i'm not even going to get into the implications of that, sam
