VOTES

Who will you vote for? The black one, the old one, the veteran, the one from Illinois, the one with kids, the one with the big plane, the one who spends the most money, the one who shook your hand, the one that visited your town or state, the republican, the democrat, the woman, the man.
NONE OF THESE CATEGORIES MEAN A THING! We should be voting for the person that will DO THE JOB! I didn't say the one who wants the job, that raises a lot of questions in my mind. Who would want a job that is 24/7 in the public eye under the gun?
We need a group of individuals that view working for the public as a job, something that needs to be done, done correctly, and done concisely. Not someone that is looking for a popularity contest.
Don't let the candidates tell us what we want to hear, tell us the truth, tell us what your views are. Not what the other guy (or gal) has done or not done. Don't analise your opposition for us, we are smart enough to do that. Give us a list of things you are going to do for us. Don't put a spin on the issues, Give us solutions.
We need people in office that will work together with all elected officials to solve our problems, not toe the party line and ignore everything else.
At least that is what I think.
