This new Electoral Compass is a different take – it’s written in flash, for one thing, and it places you on the compass with current electoral candidates.

The new compass seems to think my politics are closest to Obama’s positions. I’m not terribly sure about that – the questions are pretty general, and Obama hasn’t really give specifics about many of his stances.

I do beleive that all should pay their fair share in taxes. It would be equitable if there was a straight 10 percent tax on all purchases. It would be fair and equitable for all. As far as the cost of oil/gas, why don’t we shut off our resources to these countries that rape us on costs. If nothing else, raise the costs of our goods to them to some exorbatant fee (wheat, corn, any product that they receive from us). Bush, (I can’t call him a President) has been the ruination of our country. I’ll be glad to see him go as well as a few other millions of people.
