(Politics) 2008 Presidential Election Candidates on the Issues

[paularoid]

This is a BIG-A$$ chart that shows -all- the current candidates (to my knowledge) and where they all stand on most if not all of the big, main issues. I've got the whole page saved as a graphic but it's really too big otherwise I'd post it here. Go see it at the link.

Be afraid....be very afraid....

I do note that Hillary Clinton has an awful lot of explaining to do.

Talk About An Image Problem...
via Rocky Mountain Report by Mark Nickolas on Jul 23, 2007

When it comes to which political party is to blame for the world's problems -- including the biggies like war, poverty, corruption, global warming and prejudice -- well, it isn't even close, at least according to the massive Zogby Poll released today which tested an astounding 10,387 American adults (margin of error +/- 1 percent!):

* War: 62% blamed Republicans vs. 14% Democrats
* Global Warming: 56% blamed Republicans vs. 10% Democrats
* Prejudice: 52% blamed Republicans vs. 22% for Democrats
* Poverty: 49% held Republicans accountable; 29% Democrats
* Corruption: 47% blamed Republicans vs. 31% Democrats

Society apparently blames Democrats for crime.

Not exactly the branding the GOP was hoping for as they head into the 2008 presidential and congressional elections.

Meanwhile, President Bush's approval rating heads into no-man's land with an unimaginable 25% approval (and 71% disapproval) in today's American Research Group poll. Even worse, only 23% give him a passing grade on handling the economy.

Well, we all knew that the Republicans were to blame for the countries woes except for crime. And that's the truth!

Oh, I don't know....there are plenty of Republican criminals. They're just wealthy enough that their crimes don't make the local police blotter. And of course, most are high-level financial scams, which just don't get the same ink as, say, a gang member stealing a little old lady's purse.

I'm all for protecting little old ladies, mind, but would love to see some enforcement of restrictions on the international arms trade, the nod and wink looting of Enron, etc., and of course, Dick "not working for Halliburton" Cheney. Give them public defenders and let them appear in the same court as the kid who robbed the little old lady. It'll serve 'em right.
