Politics is the sticky stuff that controls ALL aspects of our existence.
Our vote represents the main power we have to choose politicians, understand their tax schemes and desires to regulate every facet of our lives. While some people are reluctant to discuss or publicize their politics, it is important to participate in the process. Every voting citizen must discover and understand the agenda of all the candidates and their political parties. In my opinion, armed with facts and knowledge, one must politely and firmly state their choices and justifications for same.
Beyond the media propaganda, fantasy fluff of political ads, spoken candidate promises and the peer/social pressure we all face, making a wise choice is difficult. We must try and discover an aspirant's past history, accomplishments and record as a citizen, government, military or business leader. Then, separating facts from feelings and rumors is another task of hard work given the unending noise of claims and counter claims coming from all directions.
Finally, considering our constitutional republic and its utilization of capitalism has been a very successful government model, we must consider how our vote sustains or changes this winning historic model. Ultimately, our question must be, what is in the best interests of my personal liberty and economic wellbeing, and holds the best future for my children, grandchildren and yet to be born American generations?
