Can you scrape their campaign promises, and then have it be programatically compared to their voting. Then you can rank them on Rhetoric consistency?

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]).

What about ipfs for your data storage? http://ipfs.io

I have only recently searched it a bit. Is it in actual use currently? My initial understanding was that it would be something users could interact with in a web-native way, but when I look at the site now, it looks like you must install software to use it?

I like the idea, but I need to learn more about exactly how it works.

You need to install it to interact with files, but you can reference those files directly within a standard website. There is an image sharing site that provides a great use case... https://ipfs.pics/ You will want to understand the distinction between file permenance versus file persistence before using it for your datastore. You may still want to provide a server to provide persistence but the p2p/cdn like qualities of ipfs would dramatically reduce both the hardware and bandwidth demands of what you are describing. Your server would simply be guaranteeing that there is always at least one full copy of each video persisting within the network. I will leave it there for now but the possibilities blow my mind. So feel free to hit me with any other questions. I am just having fun playing with it.

Would you be able to put face recognition data to be easily searchable? Please don't sell out to the government.

Yes, facial recognition would be a great feature for extracting additional, searchable data from the recordings.

I think government is of, for, and by the people. So, you might consider this part of us taking some measure of control on our government.

No. I don't think this is a project to hide from.

Who has lied more between Obama and his administration (including Hilary), and Bush and his administration (including Cheney)?

I don't know. I haven't heard most of what any of them have said. I am pretty sure I have heard all of them state non-truths on multiple occasions.

Have you considered collaborating with archive.org? They might be able to provide some storage space.

Another person mentioned that as well. I have not contacted them yet, though. I will be looking in to it though.

I would guess one has, but I do not have a recording of it.
