Freedomblog.com and Dr. Robert R. Carkhuff Release 'Freedom Scores for Presidential Candidates'; McCain Wins Battle

MCLEAN, Va., March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- As the race for presidential positioning in the primaries heats up and we approach a pivotal point, Robert R. Carkhuff, Ph.D, the "New Voice of Freedom" and founder of Freedomblog.com, gets in the race with his much anticipated and thought provoking report: "Freedom Scores for Presidential Candidates."

"This work on freedom is the most important stimulus package we can do now for the building of our country into the whole leadership role it has held in the past. If the candidates are not paying attention to this kind of freedom, who is?" Dr. Carkhuff asks.

Based upon extensive research, Carkhuff rates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain on the following unique conditions: "The American Experience of Freedom: Cultural Relating that leads to Peace; Participative Governance that leads to Participation; Free Enterprise that leads to Prosperity." Overall, on 5-point scales, the candidates scored as follows: McCain, 3.7; Clinton, 2.3; Obama, 2.3.

John McCain comes off with the highest "Freedom Score," because, according to Dr. Carkhuff, McCain piles up the ratings with his support for an "entrepreneurial-driven American, free enterprise system. In turn, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama trail with their endorsement of "a socially driven European-style socialist system."

"This work is required reading for anyone concerned with the future of America as we know it," according to Bernard G. Berenson, Ph.D, author of The Science of Freedom.

The mission of the website is simply to "empower thinking people" because, "thinking is freedom." Carkhuff and his team of specialists have redefined freedom to fit 21st century needs but have not sacrificed their integrity to tell the story.
