Most of us here understand that all the presidential candidates are virtually carbon copies, except Ron Paul. Unfortunately, far too many people will end up casting their votes based on spin, rhetoric, etc., rather than actual voting records or personal activities.
A candidate can promise anything. They can claim to be for or against anything. But what a candidate will actually support as President can best be determined by what they have supported in the past. Various media sources do contrast the candidates, but it's usually based on the broader view of liberal vs. conservative.
We need to provide voters with an easy to read comparison of the candidates history (not statements) on each of the most important issues currently being debated. I think it would provide a clearer perspective of the genuine consistency of our candidate.
