WHAT? POLITICS? AAAAAH!!

Ok, I am going to make a confession. I am very ashamed to say that I don't vote enough, am not at all informed, and have very few political views. I can admit this now because I am on the path to recovery and repentance! I will no longer be a mugwump!! (cool word I just learned; look it up if you like) My brother in law, Kimo, was just as disappointed in my political activity as I was so he referred me to the webpage glassbooth.org. GENIUS!!! It is what I always wanted! It is an "unbiased" explanation of the candidates and their views on tons of issues. There is also a most helpful quiz to let you know your own political views if you are like me and don't even know what you THINK IN THE FIRST PLACE! I just wanted to put a shout out to this website because if it can inspire me to be more informed on something as ambiguous and intimidating as the upcoming election, it can help anyone! Check it out! This is the link to my quiz results in case you want to see how it all works. http://glassbooth.org/Result/results/11/759645/9d50a97da4cc8463ad55990d360133b4

Apparently I am very interesting because I am 75% compliant with Obama, and 73% with Mc Cain? Oh well, it still cleared a whole lot up for me!

I LOVE politics- but I guess with a dad like mine who taught it all in school & non stop talks about it you'd have to be- Romney is my man for 08! I'll check out the site- thanks!

I'm so glad that you shared that! My biggest complaint about politics is that you never hear a candidates view you just hear how they think everyone else feels about that topic. This is what I need! I heard a prediction that this will be the dirtiest campaign in history! Sad! Thanks for your help! Melinda~

Bonnie - I love that you are getting involved. I am a political junkie, I love debates, news, I stayed up for 24 hours watching election results during the last presidential election. It's a disease.

I am going to check out this website NOW! Thanks for posting great info.
