In general, I support less government.

My political opinions go something like this:
1. Less war
2. Privatize Social Security
3. Funding for education
4. Environmentally cautious
5. Civil unions
6. Free trade
7. Reduce spending and lower the deficit
8. Pro business
9. No capital punishment
10. Pro life
11. No gun control
12. Improve border security

You're pretty similar to me, except:

1. I am "iffy" about privatizing Social Security. Privatizing it would inherently make it less secure.

2. I think gays should be able to enjoy all the rights of marriage, including being officially "married" and not merely joined in a union. It's largely symbolic, but it's an important distinction.

3. I am pro-choice and pro-death penalty (although the death penalty system must be reformed).

4. I definately believe in gun control.

On many "hot button" issues (e.g., abortion, gun control, gay marriage) I lean pretty far to the left, but on other issues (e.g., war, taxes) I lean pretty far to the right.

I dont know if him being black is a hurdle as much as his name is. Seriously I dont care if they cloned him from Reagans dna, I cant see the United States of America having a president obama. You know what Im saying. Thats sounds stupid Im sure to alot of you, but its true.

I think they are. Question is is Obama ready to be President? I think it's great he's running to get the experience and exposure if nothing else and run again in 4-8 years.

(93%) 3: Rep. Tom Tancredo
(92%) 4: Sen. George Allen
(82%) 5: Ex-Rep. Newt Gingrich

I can't help it, but everytime I see "Ron Paul" I read "Ru Paul"

Hehe ... Rupaul would probably make a great President!

Has anyone been truly surprised by their results so far?

Slightly. I like George Allen and Mitt Romney a lot and they were #6 and #8 on my list. They were both over 70% though.

I was a bit surprised Hillary was so high (4th, practically 3rd) on my list. It's why I like surveys like this. Because it strips away my preconceived notions of a candidate and just looks at do I agree what he/she stands for?

Ideally, that's a great concept...but when candidates change their views based on what crowd they're speaking for or what the polls say...it's tough to nail down which candidate is for you. Someone may sound great to you when they're talking to Group A, but you may hate what they say to Group B. John Kerry's a master at this "strategy". That's why he lost.

Yes, I'm ashamed to admit that HClinton was as high as 14 on mine.

I was somewhat suprised that that Gore and Kucinich were so high for me because I basically said that I really don't care about the environment at all. Plus, I always thought kucinich was really just a mythical elf.
