Got a 7. I think some of the questions are just bad for conservatives. Will building more prisons solve crime? Empirical evidence suggests overwhelmingly not. If I were a libertarian, I'd prefer to see that question phrased as "Should the government be spending any money to prevent crimes, or is it's job just to prosecute and punish criminals?" I guess there isn't much to choose from on the conservative president line, since IKE was pretty moderate, which leaves Nixon and Reagan. The free speech questions just kind of piss me off as they construe the liberal position as curtailing free speech, which is pretty antithetical to what liberalism is all about, but oh well, I guess there are a lot of "liberals" who think that. I would think that would make them more moderate. End of mini-rant.
