HELL IF I CARE FORUM • criteria for electing politicians
What criteria do you use for electing a political official, whether it be the president, a senator or local official? Do you try for a guy that has a majority of your beliefs, or do you have one thing you feel so strongly about that, as long as they agree with that, you'll vote for them. I once worked with a guy who felt so strongly about the right to bear arms, that he would have voted for Hitler, as long as he could keep his guns with no restrictions.
With me for example, I don't like religious zealots, evangelicals, people who say abortion should be illeagal no matter the circumstances, "the year of the bible",etc, but on the other hand, I don't think there should be so many entitlements for people who don't even try to get a job. I think English should be the first language and I think there should be a flat tax. So where does that put me? Moderate? Independent? And if you say you're a liberatarian, no one who represents you're party is ever going to realistically get elected President, so what do you do?
