Right, right, because all candidates can be judged on a Big Guvmint versus Little Guvmint axis, and you hold the keys to the magic decoder ring. Lovely.

Essentially that is the difference between Left and Right with a few exceptions such as defense.

Your being entirely too defensive though Lemur what got your hackles so raised.
