I guess I shouldn't vote for any of the candidates as they all came back with negative numbers. :( |

Apparently I agree with Mike Gravel on everything except Iran sanctions. Not too familiar with him, but he seems like a bit a of a crazy old bastard:

indeed.
once any one of these candidates makes the office any one of these issues immediately become subject to a whole panoply of considerations.
in fact, without serious grounding of one's fundamental convictions (notice i didn't say "moral") the Office of the President can be about as subjective as a House of Commons.
NONE of the Democrats have exhibited such grounding IMO.
so you can't put too much stock into a chart like this, but it is handy. |

Such as?
And I'm curious if you feel the same way about one of your GOP darlings, Romney. Or McCain for that matter, who both seem to have terrific sense of "grounding" when they need to get the votes from your base. |

you cannot pin down Billary on Iraq.
...or Obama on abortion or much for that matter. he's intelligent but almost an empty suit when it comes to addressing any issue other than Iraq, but not as much as Biden though. Biden's just dumb.
...Edwards:rolleyes: don't get me started on Edwards.

they're politicians but i believe them to be more convictually<--word? grounded across the board than the Donks.
this shouldn't even be a discussion.
the Donks are all over the place but more importantly, influenced very easily to stray from their convictions (i keep using this word convictions but i'm too lazy to come up with a better term right now) |

Democrats have a woman that isnt woman enough, they have a black guy that isnt black enough and they have a man, well, he isnt man enough :]
Both sides are weak in my opinion. |
