Thread: Obama, Clinton, & Edwards: On the Issues

From their voting record on www.ontheissues.org there are very few differences amongst these candidates.

Out of 20 listed the only differences in issues are:

1. death penalty: Obama and Clinton strongly oppose and Edwards favors.
2. mandatory 3 strike sentencing: Clinton favors other 2 oppose.
3. more armed forces spending: Clinton opposed other 2 favored.
4. replace troops w/ UN troops: Obama favored other 2 opposed.
5. allow churches to provide welfare services: Edwards opposed other 2 favored.

Here's an easy to read table made from On the Issues data which includes all 3 candidate's positions based on votes http://www.learnteachcreate.com/44.html


So does Obama really have a fresh perspective or is he just the same old present rewrapped in expensve ribbon?

Obama isnt a real candidate this run. He's a Dem shill designed to get Hillary and the party more attention.

Hizzonah, Gudy Ruliani will be the next president, thank god. His first act will be to ban paintings of people crapping on the virgin Mary being funded with tax dollars.

I have to make a correction: number 4 on OP is backwards, Obama opposes replacing US troops with UN troops while the other 2 favored it.
