What do you base your political decisions on?

really now

No apparently Obama's good looks make him MORE qualified for some reason. He makes the ladies *swoon* so I hear. He's not my type though. I just wouldn't vote or not vote for someone based on their looks either way... but some people do and that's kind of sad

it's also kind of sad that Obama is ALREADY receiving death threats many because he is "black" Really makes me wonder how many people are voting because of superficial things.

personally for me... if I could vote here... the biggest thing I look for are things that are most important for me in a candidate... does he/she support the things that mean the most to me? What is their plan for it (although this has become increasingly difficult to find out because not many these days want to lay their plan out for you... they just want to tell you what the OTHER guy is doing wrong. that doesn't help anyone) After that I look at how much money they are going to likely want to take from me in order to put their "plans" into action. Are they going to cut costs only to jack up taxes to the point that we are paying more than the costs they cut.

I try to listen to both sides speak... although sometimes listening to either side makes my brain go "BUZZZZZZ". Again... I DON'T want to hear about how the other guy is doing it WRONG. I want to hear about how you are going to do it right.

but in the end... and I'm sure I will get lots of 's for this... I have to go with my heart. they can tell me anything they want but if I really don't believe it then I just can't go along with it.

But... none of this matters because I can't vote.

IF I could vote here ...

What is their plan for it (although this has become increasingly difficult
to find out because not many these days want to lay their plan out for you
... they just want to tell you what the OTHER guy is doing wrong -
that doesn't help anyone).

I try to listen to both sides speak ...
I DON'T want to hear about how the other guy is doing it WRONG.
I want to hear about how you are going to do it right.

Darn shame you CAN'T Vote ... we sure need more INFORMED Voters
like you!

I also deduct points for the negative ads and unending tails of how
"That Other Guy is doing it all wrong ..."

I'm afraid that BOTH the Presidential Wanna-bees are into negative
numbers in MY points tally ...

"NONE of the above" is sounding better every day.
