Candidates who have REAL plans
If you have done any looking into the issue positions of the myriad of presidential candidates you will be disappointed, there is nothing of substance there, with two exceptions.
Candidates are very reluctant to offer specific plans on their views, which is why so many candidates are shying away from the YouTube debate. They are afraid to face specific questions. They like the broad questions that are (underhand) tossed to them at traditional debates in which they can dance (the cha-cha) around specifics while offering a flimsy view.
Why should we vote for someone when they provide no plans for change? Because we like their smile?
The two exceptions to this are Barack Obama and John Edwards. On their websites (by far the best of all the candidates) they have actual pdf documents with specific plans on the tough issues. To be honest I never really paid much attention to Edwards, but after reading his SPECIFIC plans I was impressed.
On the other candidates websites all you will find are carefully orchestrated essays that skirt solutions to the major issues. It takes guts and confidence to post pdf files with specific plans…props to John and Barack.

Very true my man, if you look at Hillary’s site there is no mention of her plan to fix illegal immigration. That’s because she doesn’t have one and in fact wants Amnesty and open borders.
I want to like Edwards too but I just can’t get over the fact that his main issue is poverty but he lives in a huge mansion and flys around in private jets. Another example of the progressive lefts tendancy to tell us to do as they say, not as they do…

Well it looks like the Democrats moral crusader was a fraud all along.
I want to puke over what he did but it’s not surprising for a democrat like Edwards who is all about telling people to do as he says not as he does….
