Selection Method
We have nothing. The candidates have given us nothing to decide. We can’t even go with the usual Democrat or Republican method since neither candidate does anything that resembles Democratic or Republican philosophies. Whether one has a “D” or “R” after their name is irrelevant.
Oh, I suppose we can look at Harkins performance. I am sure his supporters would rather we didn’t. There really isn’t much to look at except for higher taxes and fees for four consecutive years. And those totally unnecessary lawsuits that will cost us a huge amount of tax money. But a plan for the next four years? Nothing there.
An even bigger disappointment is the Democratic candidate, Joe Paul. Challengers never have a record to run on (or away from). They have to rely on their vision and plan for the future. Except for finding “efficiencies” we have nothing from Mr. Paul either.
Perhaps the latest campaign strategy is to commit to nothing for fear of losing votes. The trouble with that is that committing to nothing doesn’t gain you many votes either.
Therefore our recommendation is that if you have a quarter left after paying your taxes, flip it just before you go into the voting booth.
