Very succinct words. I couldn't have said it better!

Practicality often gets short shrift.

All too often we sacrifice who stands the best chance of getting elected on the alter of standing by our political principles. As if loosing on principle actually scores some kind of point.

It is odd to me that this time around, Republicans decided on the practical candidate over the political/moral candidate.

We shall see if that strategy pays off.

Right. Did you read the last post I made today on the McCain being old thread? I read an article quoting Fred Barnes on how effective it would be for Mitt to run as VP.

What do you think about that? I thought the article was very interesting, well written and I was in favor of it.

Re: How Do You Vote?

Candidate and Issues.

In a candidate I look for genuine intentions, transparency, and family stability... regardless of political party.

My primary issues are health care, civil rights of citizens over rights of "corporate personhood", corporate oversight, war, separation of church & state, and tax burden.

I just checked my profile. It's says I average 19.38 posts per day. That's not too bad.

Re: How Do You Vote?

I post two posts before I post two posts, and then I post two more.

(Extra points for the first to identify the song that's paraphrasing! )
