For those who don’t have the time or inclination to poke around the Internet looking for a candidate’s position on an issue, this site has impressed me with the extent of its coverage. It does cover all of the candidates (even third-party candidates) and offers quotes and background on the following 24 categories:
|
Abortion
|
Budget & Economy
|
Civil Rights
|
Corporations
|
|
Crime
|
Drugs
|
Education
|
Energy & Oil
|
|
Environment
|
Families & Children
|
Foreign Policy
|
Free Trade
|
|
Government Reform
|
Gun Control
|
Health Care
|
Homeland Security
|
|
Immigration
|
Jobs
|
Principles & Values
|
Social Security
|
|
Tax Reform
|
Technology
|
War & Peace
|
Welfare & Poverty
|
Not all candidates have responses in every category, but for the major candidates, there is some pretty robust information. And, while there are a lot of late (2008) data, I did note that the Supreme Court’s recent decision on D.C.’s gun law and how the court interpreted the 2nd Amendment was not included.
The name of the site is OnTheIssues.org and the link is here:
http://www.ontheissues.org/Sarah_Palin.htm
I’ve chosen to link to Sarah Palin’s page simply because the home page is not as easy to navigate. You can go to any other candidate directly from this page with no trouble.
Hope this helps!
