Politics are fucked and the majority of people that obsess about them have ulterior motives or simply nothing better to spend their time on. The extreme left or the extreme right are never good choices. I understand having personal views, but I will never trust a person that will forgo all statistical evidence and refuse to even consider a different course of action.
I lose all respect for any politician that launches a mud slinging campaign against a fellow opponent. Actions speak larger than words and I cant vote for anyone that chooses to spend time belittling their opposition instead of improving their positions. Its almost like they think everyone is retarded when they flip-flop their views depending on what voting demographic they are targeting.
Local politicians are the worse. Do I really need to see your name on 20+ signs pounded into the ground at every other highway off-ramp? Why would I trust that person, who is obviously squandering massive amounts of money in order to get elected, to be fit to be a part of our countries leadership? If they want the job so bad, are they willing to stand by their views when their job is in jeopardy or will the simply turn over a new leaf supporting the new popular opinion? When I see their 50+ fanboys marching in parades armed with massive signs and quirkly little chants all I envision is the rallies of Hitlers youth.
Its not that I have a strict no-voting policy. I just haven't found a single person that portrays an image that is worthy of my vote. I am sure they are out there, and I hope I find one some day.
Show me a candidate with humility. One that doesn't claim to have the answer to every singly fucking problem we are facing. One that doesn't sling mud at his opponent or try to belittle him/her simply because they are a challenge to their desired position. One that instead of trying to cover up the problems of his past, he is open about the situation and can explain the lessons learned in the process. One that can provide an unbiased intellectual analysis for multiple courses of action for a given problem. One that openly seeks help and advice from others.
Show me that guy, and he will have my vote.
edit - Ill stop the rant there but I will add reality tv shows. I rarely watch TV, but fuck me it is annoying when I do just want to sit back and watch the tube on occasion all I kind find are 30+ reality tv shows listed. Of which a good 4-5 are always in the same category. Its enough to make a man want to club a baby seal.
