Sorry, I had to leave quickly and elected to hit Return instead of discarding.

Look him up (say on Wikipedia) for more details, but he was one of the very few people whose views became more leftwards after taking office. 99.99% of politicians go to the right after taking office...

Ahaha, indeed, but I'm not a communist in reality. ;)

Just retook this for fun.
http://politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=-8.12&soc=-4.82

2008 March 10
Economic Left/Right: -8.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

2007 February 2
Economic Left/Right: -8.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90

2005 October 15
Economic Left/Right: -6.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.72

My economic score is amazingly enough virtually the same a year later (!) -- I may have switched a Strongly Agree/Disagree to a simple Agree/Disagree. Considering I thought I had changed economically, it's a remarkable thing -- and also perhaps reassuring.

I also veered more into social liberality, as I had a bit of internal hypocrisy left in me last year that I think I have out of my system by now.

---

By the way, windy, I forgot about this quote of yours:
we looked at this in econ.. in many cases this is true. should it be this way? no, I dont really think so. but is it? yeah..
Milton Friedman, who championed this view, recently apologised for monetarism, saying he "wouldn't have pushed it so hard" (if he'd only seen what would happen)...

Its a shame Edwards isn't running. I really liked him. Plus it makes sense why I would.

It ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!
