That test doesn't seem right. Ron Paul is a libertarian. Yes he's more right wing than say I am as a libertarian, but he's a libertarian.

He's DEFIANTELY not where they placed him. He's for small government... so I don't quite understand that and I kinda doubt the accuracy of the test... although the others as far as I saw seem to be accurate except Hillary who should be a bit more Authoritarian.

The other problems is that "right wing/left wing" have switched as of late. It use to be that conservatives believed in Small government, small budgets, no wars, no global interferenece and such...

but looking at how it is today, I almost question the veracity of saying "right" or "left" without giving perhaps somewhat of a clearer statement as to what each means especially seeing as they seem to think that Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton are only a few ticks apart which is perhaps the most absurd statement that anyone could make.
