According to this, the candidate that is the lesser of evils for me Kucinich. I find that sort of odd, but whatever.

Because I wouldn't be a good citizen without pointing out faults while solving none of them, here are flaws that I see... Even with the weighting thing, there are certain areas which still are unfairly weighted. There are three Iraq War choices and three Gay Marriage choices, but only one for Abortion and none for Intellectual Property reform. (Please don't read in to this list any perceived importance or lack there of on any of these. The fact that I think Abortion shouldn't even be discussed and that IP reform is the most important thing on the list does not blind me to the fact that the various bits and bobs about Abortion are more important to some people than anything else.)
I'd also like to point out my horror about two of these. One is that we are considering banning assault weapons, in clear and vibrant violation of the second amendment, without passing a further amendment to revoke the second. If that's what you believe, then fine, but the constitution is pretty clear, and even if you don't think the constitution is clear, maybe that's a thing that should be clarified - by an amendment.
The second is that there is a line item for torture, that I don't have to ask what they are talking about, and that there is anyone, anywhere in this country who might click "support" for this. TORTURE. I think that anyone who supports TORTURE should have to stand up in front of a room full of school children and say the phrase "I support TORTURE." I actually think that they should have to do that for anything. No flowery language. Just "I support TORTURE" or "I support building the Berlin Wall... I mean a FENCE around our BORDER.
Have I mentioned that almost all of the candidates support building a fence around the country.
Seriously.
A fence.
It's been done twice already. The Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall. Do we really need to protect ourselves from Mogol Hordes? Or, more likely, do we really need to keep our citizens on this side of the Iron Fence.
But I digress.
Could someone PLEASE give me a candidate who makes any kind of sense? Anyone?
Pick Your Candidate
Here's how it works, if you want to know. If you agree with a candidate, he gets point(s). If you disagree, take point(s) away. Unkown/other results in no points. The number of points given or taken depends on the weight you set. "Meh" is worth 1 point, "important" 2, and "key" is worth 5. The items you disagree about will be listed directly underneath each candidate (if they score greater than zero).
