This test is really cool, isn't it. I can't wait to see more people's results. And I'd like to look again at the test so that we could discuss each point, esp the ones we disagree on.

To tell the truth I see Ron Paul as the trimmer of our governmental orchard. Apple trees cease to bear fruit if they are not pruned. Our government, all its branches, are as rot-filled as the tree out my back door. I am as much socialist as libertarian, but I believe that our government's expenditures are so out of hand that we need to cut off EVERYBODY who is feeding at the federal tit, and then start over. Ron Paul would trim the dead wood, and kick off the parasites. Once we were not burdened with reckless spending for purposes that we don't endorse, we'd be able to get out of debt, as a nation. Then we could regrow our social institutions. We could create new programs that care for the people better than these shells that have already been pillaged. By being frugal and internationally ethical, we could have another era of American wealth and power.

We could refrain from squandering the rest of our birthright. Not that I believe that I have any particular right to be wealthy, but I was born on this rich continent and I hate to see it wasted before my eyes.

So far all I've heard about Gore is that he has no intention of running. From his own mouth. So I'd be surprised....

You and Barack....yeah.....and do you like him? I mean, besides this test, what do you know of him?

Well please do check out Ron Paul's positions on things! Have you watched any of the Youtube videos of him? I have posted links---they're a few weeks back. And there's the RonPaul08 link on my journal, too, follow that and see what you find out. He and Kucinich are the only candidates who aren't trying to appease either the democrat or republican "bases". And since both dominant parties are totally corrupt, I would like to see some independent, libertarian and green candidates get a coalition going that would elect someone outside the existing party structure. The existing party frameworks are defunct. The conservatives aren't conservative, and the liberals are confused.

I want our government to obey its own laws. And I want our nation to stop going around playing global policeman, and spending our national fortune.

So I'm pretty firmly libertarian these days. I have a certain socialist bent as well---there are some social programs that I think do a lot of good---but for now we need to restrain our spending on wars and our subsidizing of corporations, and Ron Paul would do that. No dickin' around.
