One problem I found with this is that they consider opposition to NAFTA opposition to free trade in general. As far as I have learned NAFTA is not really free trade and puts in a lot of regulation. I like the idea of free trade, but NAFTA is not going to get us there.

This is an example of why polls like this are counterproductive. They boil down complex positions into soundbite-style answers so stripped of detail that they lose their meaning.

Compared to you, JFK would be considered a far right republican.

Ron Paul shares a 94% similarity with your beliefs

[/ QUOTE ]

Be careful; they have Dr. Paul's position on free trade incorrect. They have him moderately opposed to free trade; he is not. He completely supports free trade. He is however strongly opposed to "free trade", i.e. what is called free trade today, which is anything but (NAFTA, CAFTA, SHAFTA).

Edit: Or, What CC said. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]

It might just be a display issue, since the test says that Ron Paul and I have 75% similarity in the area. Moderately oppose and strong support aren't really similar. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That is an important point. NAFTA is not free trade at all due to the regulations it creates.

The one-world-government types or new-world-order types (Bush41, and apparently Bush43 also) seem to love things like NAFTA that take sovereignty away from the USA and transfer it to unaccountable international organizations.
