I don't ever support candidates because of honesty.
While that's an admirable trait personally, what matters is what they'll do in office.
Sample issue....
I know Hilda will raise my taxes.
It doesn't matter if she admits this or lies to me about it.
I just don't want her to do this.
But sometimes candidates do things which warrant discussion.
People must learn to discern between what matters for voting, & what matters for carping.
I totally agree.
Sadly way too many people who vote follow party lines only.
I've noticed that people who make a lifestyle of living off taxpayers dollars
vote for the " We will give you everything." party.
I call these career money suckers "gimme" people.
"Gimme mo', I wants mo', I needs mo', gimme mo' " ,thus IF they vote
they WILL vote for the candidate that give them mo'.
And "gimme" people vote liberal.
I'm now 100% disabled and take ZERO tax dollars.
My income is a result of my private pension and my meager investments.
My health benefits are paid for by ...............................ME!
I haven't a clue why anyone would vote for Hildabeast.
That other guy will get anti Hildabeast votes.
