Check out this link for all of you political buffs out there that want to see where you stand on interesting topics with the two main presidential candidates. Kind of a fun, yet simple, thing we have here...

The only problem with this quiz and all like it is that it is based on what a candidate said at one point in time. In another point in time the same candidate may have made a statement 180 degrees from the statement shown in the quiz.

I received a great email recently. It showed a grandmother reading to a young granddaughter.

Little girl: "Grannie, do all fairy tales begin with, ONCE UPON A TIME?"

"Oh no, honey. There's another series the begin with, I PROMISE THAT WHEN I AM ELECTED."

No candidate can deliver on their campaign promises that they will cut taxes, raise taxes, etc. The president doesn't set tax rates. Tax bills must begin in the House of Representatives and be approved by the House and Senate. Then the President can sign the bill or veto it, which still can be overridden by the congress. Even in those rare times when both branches of congress and the president are all of the same party it is seldom that any one of the three always gets its way.

You are correct Frank, but these type of things are what we always base our choice for president off of, at least that's what it seems.....
