1-No, and Republicans talking about small government now is downright hilarious.
2-No.
3-No, as stated before this is a market-based system you morons.
4-No, though it's a fairly minor issue and nothing but a scare campaign to blue-collar UNIONS=COMMUNIST!!!!111!!! teabagger types.
5-No.
6-No.
7-This is somewhat vague, but I'll say no since it seems to include military action.
8-No.
9-No, stupid loaded question.
10-Not opposed, but this is now a non-issue and nothing more than more scare tactics.

So around 0.5/10 it seems.

The Republican party is a narrow tent of ideologues. I bet a lot of Blue Dogs have a 7 or so on this test.

Let's look at Minnesota's Collin Peterson:

(1) Yes, he did vote against the Stimulus.
(2) Yes, voted against the health care bill
(3) He initially did speak against cap and trade and said he would oppose any such bill though he did work out a compromise with Waxman and has agreed to support the current plan though. Which makes it a No by Republican standards.
(4) Looks like he made some procedural vote against a predecessor to EFCA in the past. So Yes.
(5) Yes.
(6) No.
(7) Once again depends on definition. But he has said he would oppose any war with Iran, so let's say no.
(Cool Yes.
(9) Yes.
(10) Yes.

So yeah, he has a 7 and is a committee chairman that no one is complaining about. This says a lot.
