Robert G asked:
The large majority of people are voting for who they believe to be the lesser of 3 evils. Wasn’t there a point in time when drug users were not the norm, infidelity meant political suicide? Why are these gross character flaws now acceptable for presidents?
I agree, the experience is there with McCain but, c’mon what does it say about his character that he divorced his wife for a younger model?

Victoria P asked:
I heard from a friend that if I am registered to a particular political party and I don’t vote for that party’s candidate in the November election, my vote won’t be counted. My friend is absolutely CONVINCED that this is true, but it sounds hokey to me. Does anyone know if this is true? I live in Florida, if that makes any difference.
Haha thanks guys; I feel like a moron for believing her. It’s not like I put my name on the ballot; they have no CLUE what party I am, who I am, or who I vote for. Haha. Thanks!

Don S asked:
That is, registered Democrats will vote for Obama because Obama is a Democrat. Similarly, registered Republicans will vote for McCain because he is a Republic. Bothe candidates could’ve been certified morons and still people of their respective parties will be willing to vote for them. I’m an non-partisan myself and thus have no party affiliation. May the best man win regardless of what party he belongs.

unforgettable_1 asked:
When they are running against each other they say the most awful things about their opponents. It makes one wonder if that person should be allowed to freely walk the streets much less run for office. Yet they will turn right around and endorse that same candidate ,saying they are the most trustworthy and forthright person. When John McCain ran for President in 2000 the Bushes made all kind of detrimental claims about him and his family. Now they act as if John McCain is the next best thing to Jesus and almost as good as George W.. Will we ever get to have an election that is not tainted by money,popularity or out and out lies? I would love to see one election ran on merit, character and intelligence with honesty never taking a back seat to pride or prejudice. I guess what I am really asking is , what are we voting for anyway? It doesn’t matter what the issues are or where the candidate claims to stand, they all lie to get the vote then only help themselves.
Leroy Jer, I am sorry for you if you believe that. Look at the record of EVERY politician in your lifetime and show me one that was re-elected that didn’t lie at least 1/3 of the time. The current President has never been truthful yet he was elected a 2nd term. Please don’t be gullible, we need all perspective voters to keep their eyes as well as their mind wide open.
Chances asked:
I am looking for a resource that will allow me to look at how political candidates running for office REALLY feel about various important topics today. A resource that is truly nonpartisan, and which gives detailed information about the candidate, specifically how they have voted on various laws and legislative topics, as well as affiliations with corporations or other candidates.
Any help would be appreciated. Wishful thinking I know!
