See the problem for me is when I come into the message boards either here or on the republican is that they want to point out the others record. What I would prefer is that each message board elaborate on their own candidates record. To point to the other candidates failures is fine but tell me what your candidate has done that makes him uniquely qualified to be president.

I know of John Kerry's service in Vietnam and I respect that but service in the military can't be the only prerequisite. (Remember our most famous war time presidents never fought in a war) Maybe you can share with me bills or laws that he authored. This usually gives me an insight into what he believes is most important to him. If you could also outline where he stands on the following issues. (If you have voting data that would be great).

National Security Issues

Health Care

Education

Taxes

I have listed these in order of importance to me. I apologize for the long winded message but I seem to torture myself every 4 years in national elections to search out and assimilate information so I can make an informed decision. Rest assured that the questions that I ask on the other republican board are far tougher.
