Website for Political Candidates views?

Question

I live in PA & I need a site that breaks down the candidates views on topics like gun control and women's issues. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

Not sure about PA specifically, but you might want to search for the League of Women Voters website. They ask all the candidates the same questions and post their responses.

Answer 2

In reality, your best source for how the candidates come down on issues is their own websites. Too often "sources" for candidate information on the internet and newspapers are biased in some form. Best to go to the horse's mouth. I have provided links for all the federal candidates running in Pennsylvania. Go to your State board of elections (link below) to find out how and where to vote and what Congressional district you are in.

Answer 3

the internet is really grotesquely inadequate, pretty slimy propaganda trash like Fox or something to do with those depressing scum maggots. examine some respectable newspapers an afternoon. then you actually get some information and some component. Even the perfect web content are literally not truly mediocre.

Answer 4

There should be no gun control. Guns aren't bad the people that use the guns inappropiately are bad. If there should be gun control then there should be pencil control because pencils can be just as harmful as guns.
