President Forever 2008 + Primaries: Policy Planks

[bagelman]

assuming I've traveled back to 2008

Abortion: Center-Right
Budget: Center-Right
Business Tax: Not informed enough to make a judgement. Might have a Center-Left attitude after the crash
Education:Center-Right
Energy: Left
Environment: Left
Gun Control: Center
Health Care: Center
Homeland Security: Center
Immigration: Center
Iran: Center-Left
Iraq: Center (the far right position is hilarious) (also with magical hindsight I would shift Center-Right because ISIS)
Outsourcing: Left
Personal Tax: Center-Left
Gay Marriage: Left
Social Security: Center (a bit confused about this one)
Unions: Center-Left
War on Terror: Center-Right

0 FR, 0 R, 4 CR, 6 C, 3 CL, 4 L, 0 FL, 1 completely undecided

Idea:

1 FR is worth -4 points

1 R is worth -2 points

1 CR is worth -1 point

1 CL is worth 1 point

1 L is worth 2 points

1 FL is worth 4 points

with this I would have a score of 7, with 18 being center-left on everything and -18 center-right.

Thus I would be a Democrat-leaning indie.
