That's too lazy Howie. So what if they all suck? Some will suck in worse ways than others or in areas more important than others.
Pick the areas of the job being run for that to you are most important. Then do the legwork to find the guy that sucks least in those areas.
That kind of process is a big part of my presidential choice. I know, for example, that the Congress exercises significantly greater control over the domestic agenda. The White House significantly more control over international and security agendas.
That being so in times of peace and lack of significant foreign threat I'll look for a presidential candidate with good ties to the Hill, that will likely bring staff that knows how to work with the Hill, etc etc etc. In times of foreign threat, however, I'll pay attention to different backgrounds of the likely staff, what the candidate is likely to do internationally and how he'll work with (or not, depending on which might be necessary) foreign capitals.
That's all too broad to be more than simply illustrative. Much more to consider of course. But just saying they all suck doesn't cut it. Unless you're using that as an excuse not to vote at all. And if you don't for them or against it you've forfeited the right to bitch about them without being a hypocrite.
All 110s (for purposes of illustration and not reality) may suck too. That does not mean you haven't looked hard, researched more, studied diligently and taken the advice of those you believed to be even more well informed then yourself to pick the parts of the 110 worth using to make the best choice you could. The choice of President of the United States is worth as much intellectual effort on our parts as is a bike motor.
Actually Howie found out that all parts of the 110" do suck.
As you say, I have certain issues that are my hot buttons and I'm not afraid to say that in order are Gun Control, Illegal immigration and the US Constitution as wriiten (which covers my first item anyway)
I'm tired of hearing about hate crimes. Isn't all crime against a person a hate crime?
A male teacher having sex with a studend is charged with rape, a female teacher is charged with child abuse.
Liberals speak tolerance only when it is something they think is OK.
Too many hipocrits and double standards.
So far there isn't a candidate conservative enough for me.
