"Candidates on the Issues"


 
Dear Doves,
 
I found this site, and thought it was certainly worthy of sharing, for us to make informed decisions on the Presidential Candidates.  Lots of detailed information on their particular stances on important issues. Although this involves only American politics, I think our non-American friends too may find the candidates views interesting.

Just click on the picture of each candidate to get their particular views on the important issues.

I urge you all to complete this Quiz! You MAY be VERY surprised at the results!
 
Quiz to see which candidate agrees with your views: The questions on this quiz are a intentionally tricky in the way they are worded, to force you to click on the link to each issue, and think!  You may be very surprised on some, how difficult it is to make an honest decision, when given all the details of the facts.  I urge everyone to take some time and take this brilliant test, and to not automatically assume anything, but click on the issue link, and read the detailed issues before making up your mind.  I think many will be surprised at what candidate more closely resembles your thinking about our government.  After the results, it is very interesting to click on the links at the bottom to see what the term they use to describe your particular political philosophy, and then click on analysis and explanation for more info.  I found this very thought provoking, and a very good tool to find the RIGHT candidate!
 
I've taken 2 different quizes so far, and each time have come up with the same candidate, Duncan Hunter.  So, I'm curious if there are any others out there???  That wasn't who I expected to be my candidate based on initial assumptions!  But, hey, facts are facts, and this time I am not swayed by media and PR or promotional money--just the outcome of issues-based politics as I see them as a voter!  Most interesting!
