Which one do you believe?
Don't they all exaggerate (lie) at least a little?
Who do you vote for, and why?
Do you vote against them because of a personal issue?
Or do you vote for them because of what they have accomplished or could accomplish, despite the personal issue?
Do all of the incumbents need to be replaced because a few have misused their positions &/or power?
Do you vote straight party, even though you don't necessarily agree with every candidate in that party?
Should first impressions affect your vote?
Should politicians be allowed to degrade their opponents publicly?
Do you vote for someone with comparable moral values even though you think the other candidate may be a better leader?
Does a candidate's past always represent their future?
Could they have learned from their past to form a better future?
Do we take that chance?
Do you vote for a relative or close friend, just because of that relationship?
Do you vote for a candidate just because a politician in a higher office says to?
My only definite yes answer is to this final question:
Do you vote?
Great questions, Jack. I've thought about this matter a lot, too, this year because there is a man on our neighborhood association board who is running for state representative. He's an okay guy, but I don't think I could ever vote for him. And the closer it gets to the election, the nicer he seems to be getting!
