Where can I find good and correct information regarding candidates running for office? -

I would like to find a good website (or several websites) that will give me correct information regarding the candidates running for office (in the US), specifically for president. I don��t want opinions or link to blogs, or any far right-wing or far left-wing sites that sugar coats the facts to make their party look good. I��m looking for facts. I also make it a point not to vote for a specific party; I vote for the person who I feel will do a better job. In the debates you always hear of one person bringing up they voted this way or that, but the other person says it��s a lie. I don��t follow every move the candidates make but obviously this is a critical presidential election coming up and I want to make sure my vote goes to the right person. Are there any websites that will give me good info? I will check out each candidate��s site, but I was wondering if there are any others?Thanks in advance.

If you want to review voting records, try Thomas (thomas.loc.gov). There are also a ton of books that you can buy. Try Congressional Voting Scores and Interest Group Ratings. I m not sure if DC is it s only location but if there is a Politics and Prose near you just go there and they have every resource you could hope for and their sales people are generally very informative/helpful.Hope this helps.

lol if you find out let me know- quite honestly, I think the only way is to pull up their voting records, listen to the reasons on why the voted that way, and check it against the bill. I look at fact checker.org alot, but in reality it s alot harder to get real concrete information, based on the whole picture and not just a small part here and there.
