On the Issues: A Crash Course in Politics

election 08

It’s ok if you’re not “into politics” as much as you would like to be – a lot of people aren’t.

The lack of the average person’s knowledge of current events in the world of politics stems less from straight-up ignorance and more from some brainiac with horn-rimmed glasses knocking them for not seeing ‘last night’s debate on current issues’ in a smug, self-righteous manner. The world of politics should not be an exclusive club for elitists.

Would you like to be more politically-savvy without being criticized by every Tom, Dick and Jane with a copy of the Wall Street Journal under their arm?

On The Issues provides “non-partisan information for voters in the Presidential election, so that votes can be based on issues rather than on personalities and popularity.” To further widen your knowledge on the presidential candidates you can even take the 20-question Presidential Match Quiz to see which candidate best represents the issues you find important.

Cruise on over to On The Issues and take a few minutes to get informed on what might be the most important election of your life. (Note: once you have the knowledge, don’t get too full of yourself!)

    I did the same thing, but I loved the question: “Drug use is immoral”

    WHAT!? Murder is immoral, beating homeless people and video taping it is immoral – smoking a spliff – NOT IMMORAL!

  • Mike says:

    There is no way Bill Richardson is the guy for me – i think i am going to shoot myself!

  • xStanzyx says:

    T-Down: maybe thats what you think but not everyone shares the same views as you

  • xStanzyx says:

    I got Tommy Thompson but it turns out he dropped from the race already!

  • T-Down says:

    xStanzyx – I consider myself a fairly conservative person politically and religiously, but I just don’t see how drug use is cut and dry immoral. Many people have addictive personalities that can be tied to genetic disorders/issues that they have. Do you think all gay people make the CHOICE to be gay?
