Speaking of such, here are some actual facts. I wrote about Rasmussen in a recent Wired article. Here's what their polls say:

http://www.portraitofamerica.com/html/poll-1468.html Earlier this year, Rasmussen Research conducted a survey measuring the electorate along a scale favored by many libertarians. This survey found 16% of American voters are functionally libertarian. However, only 2% of voters claim the title of libertarian to describe their own views.

Which means nothing other than a clear demonstration that these terms are inaccurate or mis-represented. Hell, I can't be more anti-libertarian yet on many surveys I take that is exactly what they list me. Why? Because they don't have a section for 'strict constitutionalist'. It isn't a question of category but rather a responce to limited categories and the requirement that each participant fit into one of them. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able.
