Here is a site where you can take a look at a LOT of information on your favorite...or not so favorite candidate.


Project Vote Smart - Senator Clinton - Biography

I used CNN's Poll leader Hillary as an example but you can pull up any leader.

This site has the speeches, public statements, voting records, interest group ratings (which lets you see how groups rate the candidates...example..Planned Parent Hood gives Brownback a 0% but Right to Life gives him 100% rating and Hillary is just the opposite. So you can see what group is supporting what candidate....that tells a lot about a candidate in my opinion) and if you will click over the campaign finance part you can pull up all of their contributions and from who or what industry and how much. For example the Oil and Gas industry is #6 on Brownbacks contributions but no where to be found on Hillary's. Hillary's #1 contribution is Lawyers and Law Firms...each person can draw their own conclusions from this but candidates can be on CNN/ FOX or whatever and say what they want but where their money comes from, who supports them and how they have voted in the past speaks volumes about what they stand for. Tex...you don't want to know anything about your candidates except the 15 second clip the media wants you to see so you can ignore this post.
