Issues Cheat Sheet: Where Do They Stand on Taxes?

I love breaking down political personality and pageantry as much as the next person, but I still have hope that some voters care about the issues. Since we considered the possibility of a candidate's death recently, let's take a look at another inevitable — taxes. Here are some crucial distinctions between McCain and Obama that might help you figure out which tax plan you like better.

Should Next President Prosecute Bush Administration Crimes?

Should Next President Prosecute Bush Administration Crimes?

This week an ordinary citizen asked Joe Biden if the Obama Administration would "pursue violations that have been made against our Constitution by the present administration." His answer? Yes.Speaking about the efforts of the congressional Democrats to investigate the Bush Administration, VP nominee Biden said:
What they're doing is the right thing. They're not making false accusations, they're not making unfounded accusations, they're collecting data. They're subpoenaing records. They're building the file. And they're going through it and will go through it with a fine tooth comb. If there has been a basis on which you could pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued. Not out of vengeance, not out of retribution. Out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no one, no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law.

Obama has said that he will ask his attorney general to distinguish between "genuine crimes" and "really bad policies." He said in April: "[I]f crimes have been committed, they should be investigated. You're also right that I would not want my first term consumed by what was perceived on the part of Republicans as a partisan witch hunt, because I think we've got too many problems we've got to solve."While it shouldn't surprise anyone when leaders vow to hold criminals accountable, political allegiances are sure to make this vow unusually controversial.

Should Next President Prosecute Bush Administration Crimes?

Yes! Like Biden said — no one is above the law!

Of course. The public and history deserve to know what happened.

Probably not. Bush does more damage if they waste time investigating.

No. Regardless of what they say, it would be nothing but a partisan witch hunt.

Other. I'll tell you in the comments.

Do You Consider a Candidate's Age and Mortality?

Do You Consider a Candidate's Age and Mortality?

Undecided Americans watched Sarah Palin's speech last night in part to figure out whether they are comfortable with her being "a heartbeat away" from the presidency. For some, this question takes on extra urgency because John McCain is 72-years-old. Politico consulted life-insurance experts to assess the likelihood that a Vice President Palin or a Vice President Biden would become President. According to the Social Security Administration’s tables, a man aged 72 years and 67 days (McCain's age on election day 2008) is almost ten times more likely to die before January 20, 2013, than a man aged 47 years and 92 days (Obama’s age on election day). Obama's cigarette use doesn't increase his likelihood too much, either.Of course, statistics derived from the entire population cannot predict the fate of McCain or Obama. Even so, do you consider whether or not a candidate will live through the term when you're making up your mind?Source

Do You Consider a Candidate's Age and Mortality?

Yes. I must be as comfortable with the VP candidate as I am with the top of the ticket.

Yes. But since I really like the top of the ticket, the VP only has to pass a minimal test.

No. I don't base my politics on death, since anyone could die walking across the street.

Sometimes. Depends how high the risk is that the candidate could die.

Other. I'll tell you in the comments.
