What do you base your political decisions on?

[Bonny]

Voting is a game of chance. You think you are picking the right person but maybe you aren't? They get you all excited about what they are going to do for us & then there is also the rest of the world out there too waiting for their handouts. I hate any kind of negative campaigning dirt slinging crap. I want to know what, why, how, & when they plan to accomplish their promises. The neat thing about voting & thinking you are picking the right person is you can slam dunk them if they don't hold to their promises. If you don't vote you lose that right.

Great point!!!!

And this is why politics is like sports.

A team who signs any athlete to a contract is going on that player's worth for the next season. Their performance is in no way guaranteed.

So, if the dude screws up, the team let's him go. to be replaced by the second stringer.

Same thing in politics, you get some idiot who promises a perfect season - Kick the AH out and put in the second place runner-up.

Then watch things get done.

The real gauge for a politician is what he says about health care. I am whipping a dead horse on this topic but there is now way in heck that I am going to vote for anyone who promises, without presenting at least an outline on how to reform the system.

It's something that everyone needs and will have to face in their lifetimes.

IT will never get 'fixed' until you separate the lawyers, insurance companies, drug and medical supply companies and doctors. They all feed off of each other and that's where the money is made.

Everyone complains about the cost of gas and the utilities. Ask anyone with sick relatives to get you a copy of the billing for a few days in a hospital.

I'd rather see a candidate start preaching about the "Apple a Day that keeps the Doctor away".

It makes more sense -your health coverage is bought by the pound.
