Anyone else absolutely sick to death of all the campaigning yet? I’m sick of listening to the front runners talk for an hour only to walk away and realize that I have absolutely no idea where they stand on ANYTHING! The big thing this election season seems to be to see how much you can say without actually saying anything at all. I think Hilary Clinton put it best in her victory speech in New Hampshire when she said, “I listened to you and I found my own voice…” What she was really saying was she listened to the people and was willing to say anything that anyone wanted to hear in order to get elected. And I’m not just placing the fault on her - they are ALL doing it. Obama, Clinton, Huckabee, Mitt, McCain… Take your pick.
And because I’m still undecided and unsure who I’ll vote for in the primary, I’ve been looking for a website that will show me where the candidates stand on the issues. Because they sure aren’te giving clear cut answers in any of the debates. The best that I’ve found so far is Electoral Compass USA and does a pretty good job of asking the important questions and graphing it all out for you.
Anyone care to guess who I was closest to?
I don’t have a place any better, but I found this matching site helpful for me. http://www.dehp.net/candidate/ You imput your view on the issues and then the site tells you which candidate matches you the closest. What helped me was that it then lists the issues where the candidate disagrees with you.
