I believe that most conservatives credit Reagan's military spending that the
USSR couldn't keep up with as the prime reason for the collapse of the
Soviet Union.  I don't think there was much free market ANYTHING in USSR
back in the commie days.

Yeah, I know them.  They're the leftist media that gave W a pass on the
question of his free ride through the Air Guard and lack of attendance
thereto in order to avoid combat (can you say favored son?).  They're the
ones that moved on after W said his reported coke useage was his personal
business rather than beating the point into the ground like you'd have
expected an enemy of the Republicans to do.  They're the ones that never
really brought up that W lied about being convicted of DUI after he swore
he'd never been arrested or convicted.  They're the media that never bring
up all the staff members and business aquaintances that have been indicted
and/or convicted in the Bush administration.

I could go on.  If they're so leftist, why has that guy gotten a free ride?
And don't bring up coverage on the war - they were giddy like kids at the
outset until they realized that this wasn't a videogame.

PUUUUHHHH LEEEEEEEZ.  But if you're sincere about the statements above, you
should've tested further to the right for sure <g>.

I tested just left of center on L/R and just south of center on
Authoritarian/Libertarian.  I can't imagine how you answered those questions
thoughtfully and got the results you did.  Maybe the test is actually rigged
to piss off conservatives.  I may try again answering Limbaugh-style and see
what the score is.
