True, as in an actual recording as opposed to a fabricated one?
I don't think there is a complete answer to this question. We are already struggling with this today. Is what Hillary Clinton has been saying true? Is what Donald Trump has been saying true? No.

By "every politician" are we talking about even the small ones like a state rep. of Montana and other kind of insignificant ones like that too? Or what about ones in random countries no one has ever heard of? And does it include judges?
[–] jsprogrammer [S] ago
I am talking about anyone that represents someone else. So, state reps should be included. I'm not sure about judges, but if they are elected, I believe they should be included too.

Yes. I think this will be a "killer" feature. You will essentially be able to broadcast your own television show (or anything else that you could imagine you might be able to do like that).

What do you mean?

Can you scrape their campaign promises, and then have it be programatically compared to their voting. Then you can rank them on Rhetoric consistency?
[–] jsprogrammer [S] ago
I don't think it could be fully automated, but with every recording it wouldnt be hard to compile a list and to make easy reference of it. I think it is a good idea. I think there will be a lot to rank people on once we get the data out there and accessible to everyone.

A funny idea would be to have a questionnaire, have people rate their positions, More or Less beauracracy on Guns, specific angles on each.
When the user was done, you'd have a model that you compare to the current candidates and statistically show why they are most compatible.

Your title doesn't match your reality. Based on your comments here, all you've done is daydreamed about this topic for several years. You're not "building" anything.

This is not true. You can see the links I have posted to my non-contract work. If you believe Github's timestamps, you'll see I have been building things for a long time (though not all of it is related to this project [and I never claimed as such]).

Where can I expect to find your dead body?
[–] jsprogrammer [S] ago
No where, I hope!

You are probably right... we won't find it.
