Election Woes!

                                                               Election Woes!
I really don't see what people see in the Presidential debates. With both sides distorting issues and facts it makes it even tougher to decide between candidates. The best way is to set aside all previous biases and with a clear head attempt to sort through the muck and mire.
After the biases have been silenced a few helpful hints will clarify the issues.
  1. Avoid voting along party lines. The old adage about Democrats being for the poor and                    Republicans for the rich is severely antiquated. In truth both parties, in contemporary society, are for the rich and themselves. It takes money to make money, and in reality that's what both sides are all about.
 2. Don't listen to debate stats on issues or track records. Check out the facts of a candidate's track record, which is a better indicator of future performance. I find the after Debate commentaries more reliable than those of the emotionally charged debate.
 3. If possible follow the incumbent during his tenure to insure accuracy. If not possible, it is a matter of public record.
  4. Be wary of special interest groups. They have their own agenda which may or may not be for the common good of the country.
  5. Check out major issues such as retirement, Social Security, the economy, and employment. Discover what experts are saying and which candidate agrees most closely.
  6. Check out Biblical examples and principles and compare candidate's position to see if it most accurately agrees with Scripture.
  7. After all your personal research has been done, check to see which candidate most closely agrees with your research beliefs and goals.
