Five Bad Reasons To Vote For A President

[Mad Scientist]

#6. She has a Vagoo.
#7. He/She is Gay.

 

[Hancock]

So, I was looking up reasons to vote for various candidates and this article pops up.

How many on the list have you used as reasons to vote for someone?

5 bad reasons to vote for a presidential candidate

1. You'd "like to have a beer with" them
2. You'd like to see the first _______ President
3. You like their position on a single issue
4. They're the candidate of "your" party
5. They seem like the inevitable winner


I have fallen #1 and #4. Anyone else fall for the 5 bad reasons.

Five very good points, agreed. 4 and 5 especially.

A few more bad reasons to vote for/bad reasons to vote against:

• "He has nice hair"/"He's bald"
  
• "She's hot"/"She looks like a hag"
  
• He/she is with ____ religion"/"He/she is not with ____ religion" (or any religion)
  
• Has nice family/Doesn't have nice family

Bad reasons? These reasons are why Obama got elected.

Uh -- really. O'bama got elected because of his religion and nice hair?
Had nothing to do with the fact that the economy had just collapsed and the alternative was a septuagenarian cancer survivor representing "more of the same" who took a Barbie doll for a running mate as a "fuck you" huh?

No I was thinking bad reason #2, but whatever makes you feel better about your mistake

OP- Only issues and policy matter, and only Dems are right on the issues. First woman or socialist is a bonus, dupes.

You said "reasons" not "reason."

Why do you vote for a candidate?

 

[Hancock]

Morality and integrity are important to me. If they have those, then I'll listen to a candidates views on the issues. And that's for the R or D candidates. But most don't have the first two qualities to begin with.

I didn't make the "mistake" Huckleberry -- you did. Read the posts.

You're saying that in an election where the economy was doing just fine, a weak candidate who claimed opening ANWR would bring gas prices down in "six months", with a running mate who can't think of a newspaper -- could win?

Go ahead, prove that. Oh wait, I forgot -- you can't.

I agree but where do you go from there? I didn't vote for McCain or Obama in 2008, I went to a candidate that I thought had integrity, though I agreed to less issues with him.

The uninformed voters of the democratic party voted for Obama for no other reason than he was black.
96% of the black vote went his way and I don't believe they were to concerned with his policy. Your mistake I referenced was being one of those voters.

Link?



Didn't think so.

The black vote has been going Democrat since 1936. Maybe news travels slow where you are?

Now then --- link to how you know who or what I voted for is.... where?




Exactly.
