from a political perspective, I dont have a problem voting for a Mormon like Mitt.

What i do think is going to happen in the next few weeks, is that the supporters of Mitt will understand that Mitt has lost to Rick on the social issues...and so they will attack him on them.

This means they will dig up dirt,
spread rumor
invent stories.
connect the dirtiest stories with Rick or his family.


This is just the same as when Clinton got caught with that girl in the oral office.
Remember how the supporters of Clinton never said that Clinton was in the wrong?

what the supporters of Clinton did was to dig up the dirt on other presidents....they would go on talk shows and when asked about Clinton;s sex life would quickly point to President Jefferson's sex life, or to the many girl friends of Kennedy.

The idea the Clinton supports had was that by making the bigger flaws of other presidents the topic, then you make the flaws of Clinton appear smaller.



My own view of this is as follows:

All of us know some type of Hitler we can compare ourselves to.

All of us know that if we wanted to we could think of any number of people that most people would consider as worse than us by a long shot.

But this is a moot point.

If you try to make your own sins appear minor by always pointing to Hitler's sins, then you will NEVER find a reason to imporve yourself.


Your standard on behavior should not be set by the very worst person who ever lived!


If you want to compare yourself to someone, compare yourself to someone far better than yourself....



In this election, there are people in it that will show that sooner or later that all got their personal flaws.

If we were electing a person who never made a single mistake, we are going to be disappointed.

They all got flaws, and that is why it is so important to make a hiring decision based on the things needed to do the ***..

The office of the president is a political leadership/administration position.
A president has to have the ability to speak and promote a line of thinking that will gather to him the needed support to get things done.

Im a conservative, so what I look for in a president is someone I feel will have a strong voice for my conservative point of view.


So i listen to what each person has to say and how they say it....and based on a gut feeling , I vote on the guy i think is the most clear voice for my views.


I know this person might turn out to have a past history where he might have had trouble with the law, or got mixed up with the wrong people at times....

I understand that none of us lead pure lives.

But I dont have to dig up dirt about the other guys in the race to make my own guy's flaws appear smaller....
