Picking a Candidate - Page 3

I think the entire thing is a waste of taxpayer money at a time when more help is needed for the poor and hungry of this world. The candidate sincerely believes that forced redistribution of wealth is an act consistent with democratic principles. There may be overwhelming religious influences at play. Mostly, the candidate does not make the connection between poverty and enclosure, which means that he or she is missing an essential piece of the decision-making tool kit. The candidate is apt to give your money away and get nothing in return.

I think that it's important for the United States to stay ahead in technology while exercising fiscal restraint in order to keep the national debt in check. A politician's answer. It expresses ideas that everyone's in favor of without actually disclosing information, and it sounds final, discouraging a smart response. It's a much better answer than I would give, which is one reason I have no intention of running for anything.

Perhaps none of this matters. Maybe the world really ended at midnight on 12/31/99, and we just don't know it yet. Maybe the vote is rigged, the candidates pre-chosen by international conspirators and a trip to the polls is pointless. Still, politics is largely about entertainment, and the variety of responses one might get to the question "what after the space station" makes it a great question to ask, just for fun, when picking a candidate.
