Heh, intentional or not, facts are facts. Ron Paul looks so good because he really is that good. Flag it if ya like it is what I say.

i guess thats true personaly im still not goona vote between all the lies and voter fraud i find it pointless to even waste my time. but i still watch the election debates and follow the entire process as well as keeping up with what each canidate has to say on the issues. best to stay informed, and dr. paul is looking better and better by the way to bad i dont think he has a chance they dont want him in office and they tend to get what they want. by the way starred and flagged keep up the good work.

Hey thanks. I am trying. I thought for sure when they slammed this over to AbovePolitics it would be never seen or heard from again. A lot of people don't have ats setup to monitor abovepolitics at all. Can't say I blame them, but still.
Maybe I was wrong and it's not so bad. I am amazed to see jsobecky and some others in here.

I burst out laughing. Thank you!

What's pro-family? Can you really be anti-family?
Would that be like what Hillary said that one time...

"When the orgasm has been finally eradicated...
the last remaining obstacle to the psychological acceptance...
of the principles of Ingsoc, as applied to artsem, will be overcome.
In other words, the unorthodox tendencies towards ownlife...
which constantly threaten the natural erosion of the family unit...
will no longer have the biological support of the organism."

At least... I think that's what she said. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Wow... that's a little biased. Nice trick, framing the questions in such a way that Ron Paul gets an entire column of green.

Not saying that the results are wrong, just saying that the presentation is designed to show Paul in the best light.

Interesting. Maybe instead we should have the Fascism chart that shows him in the worst possible light?

Not saying that at all. I'm simply highlighting what is happening.

As McCain starts to pick-up momentum I get concerned. The economic ravages the wars (that he so adamantly supports) are wrecking on our economy aside the guy isn't the war hero some people try to make him out to be. He has slandered and attacked fellow POW's --- many treated far more harshly than he such as Red McDaniels --- and even attempted to sic the Justice Department on organizations trying to recover missing POW's.


John McCain is an abysmal mediocrity who would never have made it on a level playing field. He was fifth from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy. He racked up three life threatening "Dangerous Downs" at flight school -- the last one for flying his aircraft into the sea while asleep -- enough to get anyone without his political influence bounced down the back stairs. As for his record as a senator, can anyone remember a single significant thing this man has accomplished in more than a dozen years as a member of that august body? Anything other than sell out the POWs and promote the interests of Communist Vietnam, that is. To those who have recently determined that we just HAVE to have this man as our next president, I pose the following question: why?

Wow!

Not much of a comparison chart. This is nothing more than a Pro-Ron Paul chart set up to phrase questions in such a way that Paul gets a big green column against everyone else's red.

Show me a comparison chart that isn't biased and trying to prove that Ron Paul is the savior of humanity and I'll pay attention.

Well, there are a few questions on that list that are designed to do so. But the vast majority of the other questions are the major issues facing us today. That list is important to see for that reason alone. I suppose a few other people thought so too seeing as they flagged the thread. So I am glad it may have helped them.

So make up your own list of what's important to you and compare the candidates on that basis. That list covers most of the real concerns for me right now, that's why, even despite it's light bias, it is still a valuable tool in helping to decide who to vote for. No regrets here, sorry.

That chart contradicts itself. It lists McCain as a NO in the prolife category. It then links to a video where he says Roe v Wade should be overturned.

So how is he not prolife?

Again, the Ron Paul people have skewed things to make their candidate appear in the best light.

If you total up all the votes from the past 3 elections Ron Paul is ahead of Giuliani and Thompson. But for some reason they get more air time than RP.

I'm sorry, but that is not coinciding with Romney's current position nor (I presume) any other candidate. You are using past sources and are distorting truths. Not you directly but that website. I wish for you to do the hard difficult process of searching everything to get to a solid candidate. I know, it's boring, but you have to know your facts, I know, they are difficult, facts.
