For those of you who choose not to follow my liberal-slanted political posts at Spirit Blooms, I thought you might be interested in this information.
Project Vote Smart is a non-profit organization that researches and provides objective information about election choices in the U.S. Read more about the project here. At the Project Vote Smart website, you can view any presidential candidate’s voting record, synopses of what they voted on, and other information that will help you to make an informed decision. To learn more about the current presidential candidates, just go to the “Current Candidates” page, click on the “President” link, and you’ll find a listing of all the 2008 Presidential Candidates (Democrat and Republican). Click on a candidate’s name to view information about the candidate’s background and experience, and find links to other information, including the candidate’s voting record.
I haven’t looked very far into the information provided there on third party candidates. I clicked on “All Candidates” and saw that there is limited information there about some of the third party candidates, but the one I clicked on didn’t have complete background data, so the information found at the site may be most valuable to those who generally vote either Democrat or Republican.
Thanks, Barbara. I’m really hoping to find as much un-media-ized information as possible.
Ah, Barbara, just wanted to let you know how sorry I was to hear that Kucinich has dropped out of the race. In my opinion, the man was too good to be President.
Blogdog — It is disappointing, but he has to defend his congressional seat — where we really need him to stay if he’s not to be President. He’s one of only a few there who, in my view, still truly represent the interests of Americans. I still plan to vote for Dennis Kucinich in our primary on Feb. 5th, in the hopes that there will be delegates at the convention who represent his views, if nothing else to balance things out a little. I’m tired of the Clinton/Obama bickering about things of no substance. Neither of them even comes close to getting my vote.
