By which I mean, enough information about other candidates, which would make the person look at other candidates(mainly Ron Paul)

 

[herepamwas]

I think that is an excellent idea. That is my main reason for sticking around here. I read a lot about all the candidates and Dr. Paul is the one I like/agree with the most.

We could call them rap sheets....or in Giuliani's case rap reams of paper.

I think this is a good idea myself. Running threads for each candidate for posting info as we find it. At some point it can be organized into a rap sheet for ammunition. Oh yeah....I do plan on sinking that low. Better us than Ron Paul doing it .

 

[maiki]

I don't think there is a need to sink low. We can just point out why Ron Paul's position on issues that matter is overall preferable than another candidate. Just being informed about candidates similarities and differences is good. Having a good list would be helpful. like what to say to a Fred Thompson supporter, or a Sam Brownback supporter, for example. Or even a democrat.

 

[Noodles]

Maybe Josh would make a separate thread for each candidate. It would make it very easy to find your ammunition.

 

[angrydragon]

Just point out the facts about other candidates.

 

[PatriotOne]

Just point out the facts about other candidates.

Of course they would be facts. No one is talking about making stuff up....God knows it's not neccesary.............

 

[Bradley in DC]

How about information that makes people attracted to the respective candidates and then information on why Dr. Paul would be better based on those arguments?

Tancredo, easy enough, etc.

 

[Wyurm]

I dont have time to sort through all of Giuliani's bad points, after all, we only have about 6 months or so before the primary season.

has a bunch of things on candidates, but it seems very shallow...the kind of things I'm looking for is

if Obama supporter brings up healthcare
Then RP supporter brings up "How will we pay for it"

etc

The 2008 Smartselect.com Presidential Candidate Selector is an excellent tool to compare candidates against each other.

You answer a series of 25 questions about the various issues facing us today. After selecting your choices, DO NOT ENTER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, but rather scroll down to see how the cadidates rank against your personal view.

Please note that there is NO NEED TO ENTER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!

After scrolling down to the bottom, you should see a ranking of all of the candidates, for example:

1. Theoretical candidate 100%
2. Ron Paul (75%)
3. Tom Tancredo (62%)
4. Duncan Hunter (57%)
etc...

Once you have the list of candidates ranked, you can then click on the "Click here for more info" which will pull up a side-by-side comparison of any two candidates that you would like.

This tool has really helped to turn around people who are thinking of supporting Frudy McRomney. It helps expose how different their views are compared to the average man on the street.

He claims he is a "radical libertarian", but his website says that he is no longer actively running a campaign.
