I am beginning to understand at least one reason people don’t vote in this country. I want to hear about the issues; what candidates will do for and/or about the economy, education, transportation, health care, social security, the homeless and all the other problems that have befallen this great country of ours in recent times.
What I don’t want to hear from a candidate is the mudslinging about the other candidate(s). I have made up my mind that if a candidate (yes, even from my party of choice) resorts to this type of campaign, I will refuse to vote for him or her. If that means there is no one left to vote for in the election, then that is everyone’s loss. Candidates of all the parties – stick to the issues, retain your integrity, give me someone I can be proud to vote for this time.
