Guest Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) I'm just curious, what do people value more in a candidate, their principles, or their abilities? Edited November 21, 2009 by Romulus064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 unreality Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I voted for "the Scandal" because our politicians already are scandals. I don't care if your grandmother who bakes you cookies every sunday is running for office, if she can't lead then she shouldn't be elected. And i don't care if the candidate is a drug dealing sociopath that his own personal reasons for fixing the country - as long as in the end it will indeed be fixed long-term, then get him in. I don't care that Bill Clinton slept with some woman, I care that he boosted the economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 akaslickster Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Of course, everyone will vote for the scandal, who in the heck would want their own country ruined? Scandals can be impeached or jailed. I am maybe not understanding the entire scenario. On the other hand, some people dislike their country enough to move to mine. They simply don't care enough to improve it when it begins to worsen. I also believe that it takes reasonable principals and abilities to be elected by myself. So hard to find them. Therefore, if it is one or the other, I need to go with the scandal/abilities. Edited November 21, 2009 by akaslickster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 EDM Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) i would vote for neither.....one should have both morals and abilities.....only then will a country actually be 'fixed'..... so i'd be an invalid vote.....or vote for myself, then give the job to someone smart and good.....

That would indicate that one is not more important than the other, in your eyes. This isn't grabbing alot of attention due to feeble choices. If anyone should vote for ruin of their country, I would like to read about it. In some cases, my country is already ruined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases, my country is already ruined. since no one voted for the saint....i'll speak for him...... the country wouldn't be ruined as such.....just because you vote for a saint, doesn't mean the country is ruined....there are others working for him.....get them to work and follow the good deeds of the saint.....a little bit of good never hurt anyone..... *ok...i'm just getting a kick out of this vote topic.....

0 Guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 It took me a few minutes to decide my vote. Of course, I don't want the country to be ruined, but I have a hard time believing that the country would be ruined simply because the person was a saint. none the less, I would have to side with ability over morality.

0 peace*out Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) a president is only in office for 4 (or 8 if he gets re-elected) years. if s/hes going to fix the country, its only a small portion of years and the changes they made would have a lasting effect. so, the scandal edit: spelling Edited May 9, 2010 by peace*out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
