Where they stand on the big issues


I came across this and found it pretty useful...especially if you're on the fence.

That's a neat site. Perfunctory information, but good top-line view of everything....and super-slick!

What's funny is that I had some red and green for each candidate, but Ron Paul was all green for me....and in looking at the national results on that poll, he's easily the most agreed with, yet has very little national attention comparatively.

Pariah,

I think I need to get your a little started.

Why didn't we hear more from Paul or see more tv ads featuring him? From what I read today he raised more funds than McCain. After doing a lot more research on him, I'm saddened that he's out of the race now because I finally felt like I found a guy who spoke for me.

He was marginalized by the mainstream media, and portrayed as a "kook" which was rapidly eaten up.

And I'll be writing him in anyway.

Yeah, because Obama is going to win, in a landslide. My vote is a protest vote, knowing that I'm fine with Obama winning and I'm not going to be "Nadering" a candidate on the right worthy of voting for since if I wasn't going to write in RP I'd go with Obama most likely. I would have had to vote McCain over Hill, because a lesser of two evils thing.

Trust me, Barack isn't going to need my vote. And I'm still making my line in the sand statement.

I'm very politically angry right now.

Obama won't take AZ. If he needs your vote anywhere, it's here.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

Obama could sprout wings tomorrow and fly over the US naked with Paris Hilton riding his back and McCain would still lose by double digits.

Actually, I'll be watching the polls and acting accordingly, k?
