Reclaim Your Republic

For those of us searching for smaller government, sound fiscal policy, and retaining our freedom, neither Barack Obama nor John McCain fits the bill.  But if you are someone who must see how they stack up against someone who many regard as the measuring stick for those ideals, Marc at Liberty Maven has taken the positions of the two status quo candidates and held them up to the “Ron Paul Paul-O-Meter.”  John McCain’s dismal score of 25 out of 99 possible points was nearly as low as I thought you could get until I saw Barack Obama’s deplorable 17 out of 99 possible points.  They will soon be showing how Bob Barr stacks up to Dr. Paul’s stick.  For information about the scoring and an explanation of the scale, you can find that here.  Not only will they be sizing up the status quo candidates and Bob Barr, but they are planning to scale Chuck Baldwin, Ralph Nader, and Cynthia McKinney to round out the participants in this year’s election.
