Interesting! (And about where each of us thought you would rank on those axis of political beliefs....) Here is me holding forth on an issue (difference between supporting 'lower taxes' over all else, and supporting 'end of deficits' over all else...) because it is a distinction that is probably too fine for any of these political tests that we have been talking about to make. They all tend to blur the matter (no short test can hope to be all inclusive, after all) and, as you know, putting firm structural impediments (such as a Constitutional amendment) in the way of federal deficits is a very important matter to me. One of my points is also that, at the end-of-the-day, deficits result in taxes anyway... even if it is but the 'unofficial kind' the 'tax of inflation': Message 26342235
