The 2008 presidential candidate's views

Want a quick overview on what each of the candidates for the 2008 Presidential election stand for?

I just found a website that has a table of hot topic issues on the left column and all the current 2008 Presidential candidate names on the top row. Each intersection lists whether that particular candidate opposes, supports, flip-flops or just never made public their views on that particular hot topic.

The page is located at http://2decide.com/table.htm

Take a minute to look at this site. Only Brownback, Huckabee, Hunter, McCain, Paul, Richardson and Tancredo oppose a new assault weapon ban. Seven out of eighteen candidates. Every other candidate supports implementing a new assault weapon ban. Five of those seven candidates are also against background checks for firearms!

Homeland Security, Abortion, Gay Marriage... its all in that chart.

Another website that builds off the information in that chart is located at:

http://www.dehp.net/candidate/index.php

On that site, you can pick your key issues from a pop-up menu, and the website will generate a list of candidates who most closely match your criteria. Try it out! I was surprised on who my choice to vote for should be.

Take a look at both of these websites to get informed on who your best choice to vote for will be in the upcoming elections.
