Election Babble

As many of you know I am against voting straight party lines. Yet, it seems this election is all about voting party lines. The sad part is most people don’t take the time to review the voting record of the people running for election. Even sadder is the fact that, thanks to the internet and the use of basic databases, the information is easily available.

So in my attempt to empower the nation I have reviewed some of the sights and have found one that makes it easy. This sight not only tells you how candidates voted on different issues, but also gives you the option of inputting your views and matches what candidate votes closest to what you believe.

The link to the quiz is : http://www.issues2002.org/Quiz.htm

Once at the sight follow the link that reads: SenateMatch Quiz of 33 Senate races in 2006

I recommend that you take it, you might be surprised. I was.

By the way, I know it says 2002! If you try it you will see that it is up to date
