Based on Politifact Grades, two candidates seem to score the highest and are people we should definitely keep an eye on. No matter what party you belong to you should try to know a little about what’s going on each side of the table. The two candidates I think you should keep your eye on are Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. The candidates with the most truthful statements based on Poltifact are Paul with Romney only one point behind. Also a close third is Rick Perry whom had a lesser percentage of truthful statements; Perry had the most half true statements and second place for most true statements.
I will take a short look at Mitt Romney and Ron Paul and give you a few more resources to read.
Ron Paul has actually been a crowd favorite for many years, definitely at my extremely liberal college. He actually has always been one of GOP members, who made sense rather you agreed or not with him. Ron Paul is a candidate for limited, constitutional government with low taxes and Free Markets being of the utmost importance. Check out Laura Trice’s article on Dr. Ron Paul’s 11 point Plan to Save America. It really doesn’t get any more plain than that article. Dr. Ron Paul is actually a medical doctor by education turned politician. He began his life in politics after studying Austrian School Economists (I will definitely write on Austrian Economists) in the 1970s. He’s currently is a Member of the House of Representatives from Texas’s 22nd District.
Mitt Romney is a business man by trade turned politician. His first public office run was in 1994 for U.S. Senate, which he lost. He was later the 70th Governor of Massachusetts. Mitt’s stance focuses on jobs, fiscal responsibility, healthcare and foreign policy. Check out his plan as well as 59 Point Economic Plan, which he feels he can create 11 million jobs in four years.
