On the Issues: 2008 Republicans

7 May 2007 One Comment

As the Presidential campaign for next year has gained a little steam, I thought this would be a good time to actually examine some of what these people believe, as opposed to their haircuts.

So I did a quick Google search, found this site, and came up with some fast answers. Here’s a quick look at the Republican candidates, John McCain (JM), Rudy Giuliani (RG), and Mitt Romney (MR). Some of these answers are obvious because they’re all Republicans, but the one who strays and exposes his liberal Republicanness is Rudy.

    Just a suggestion: instead of putting all of our faith in one person and hoping that they do everything we think is right (which they never do), now we have the technology to evolve beyond representative democracy: http://www.metagovernment.org
