I’ve come to follow the 2008 presidential candidates based on a few issues only:
- health care (some form of expanded health care with coverage for the uninsured — and NOT a free market system, Rudy Giuliani)
- global warming (the tougher the better. And denialism won’t help the planet, Ron Paul.)
- gay rights (this is more like icing on the cake for me. But you gotta have some icing, Mitt Romney. And of course Bill Richardson lost my vote with his homosexuality-is-a-choice faux pas.)
- science (Brownback, Tancredo, and Huckabee don’t believe in evolution. Doesn’t that alarm you?)
Iraq should be up there but I’m as clueless as the next person on what we should do there.
So far the Democrats all look okay on the issues, but I can’t tell who’s the real deal and who’s just toeing the party line.
