| 26 out of 33, and not American. About half a dozen of the answers I learned from following Ron Paul's campaign this election season. |

| 93% missed two questions. The questions were VERY right-wing bias, for example they argued the Federal Govt does NOT have the right to have an income tax. |
And exactly where is the right to tax income enshrined? The country existed nearly 150 years without one. |
16th Amendment.
Anyway, I got 32/33. |

That would explain why you got a few wrong.  |

Ha ha ha. Seriously though, I learned a ton about amendments, authority for declaring war and all the rest. One thing I missed about the end of the campaign was the lack of off-the-cuff speeches that were unscripted and always had something new in them. I like Obama and he's going to be a great president but his speeches just aren't as interesting to watch. |

Ron Paul, for his faults, had a great many unique virtues which I would've liked to have seen in the other Democratic candidates. His campaign, however, was in some ways better than the candidate. Peter Schiff turned out to be on (off?) the money in his predictions. And I can only think of one poster on this board who would not sympathize with the RP movement's grassroots character.
I wonder who will take up the libertarian cause in 5-10 years. |

Definitely true about the campaign. Ron Paul originally just wanted to leave a record behind for other people to find later on and hopefully carry on.
I like his son in particular actually. Rand Paul, 45 or so, a doctor in Kentucky, has pretty much the same philosophy and gives a good speech too. I'd like to see him run for congress in two years, and then six years after that (no way Obama's not winning re-election unless he really happens to mess things up) maybe the GOP philosophy will have moved back towards something like in 1994 / the election campaign promises of 2000.
