It says Ron Paul has refused to take a political courage test. Is there a quick way to request that he does?

why would he have to take this test? why does anyone who comes up with a test or questionnaire suddenly become entitled to everyone's time?

After all that's been said and done I can't understand why anyone would want to go so far to prove a point. IMHO Dr. Paul displays those traits most desirable for a statesman. Though his leadership style may seem week to some I don't think he's lacking in courage and fortitude.

Anyone ask him why or did he say why he wouldn't take the test?

Because nobody has heard of or cares about some Joe's "test".

Aren't those his 1996 responses below? Why would he waste his effort again? What views has he changed?

If one is consistent, why does one need to reaffirm this fact every two years?

I agree about Ron's leadership style being "weak". However, in my experience, he is deliberately so. Only Hamiltonian tyrants advocate the "strong president/central gov'ment".
