    No disagreement but even Barr was better than either Obama or McCain. LOL

    Mine was quite similar although I had Paul on top. I was quite happy to see only 18% in line with OhBama.

    Those tests don't factor in the fact that Obama and Romney both lie

    If they factored in lies you'd have to use negative numbers for Paul. He's the biggest demogouge of the group.

    As usual, you blather on about thing in which you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

    I voted for Ron Reagan twice and Bush 1 and my friends thought I was a conservative nut.

    The funny thing is, my views haven't changed all that much.

    90% ranks up there in the tool range. I've never been 90% sold on ANY politician. Amazing anybody could be so gullible.

    Well, it is true that the social conservatives are moving more and more towards an Orwellian government based upon Christian theocratic law every day while the progressive liberals have remained somewhat constant. Both support big intrusive government though albeit for different reasons.

    So you hated trickle down economics back then, yet you voted for it 3 times?

    lol, you just called most of the people who responded so far a gullible tool. Your 85% isn't that much better. Round up and you're at 90 with the rest of us.

    You're just 85% and therefore not a "tool" eh? Lol. There are a lot of "tools" on this board according to your test.

    That's a fair point. I thought 70% was probably too high a marginal rate and supported the cut to 50%. In those days it sounded plausible. Now we have the evidence to know better.

    I'm actually fairly liberal on social issues... which brings me very close to libertarian.

    Scary, huh?

    It is focusing on national defense (like we were ever not defended) that has allowed China run roughshod over America.

    We have wasted our money on the basis of a rag tag group of extremist Muslims rather than fighting the real war which is economic.

    I've been to war so I don't scare very well these days.

    All it really takes to be a libertarian is to support classic liberalism which is a political ideology that advocates limited government, constitutionalism, rule of law, due process, individual liberties including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and free markets.

    The United States was founded on classic liberalism but sadly Republicans and Democrats have rejected it over the years.

    The real economic war is with our government which has corrupted the free market based upon faux Keynesianism.
