choosing the lesser evil

I will be choosing the devil that I don't know yet hehehe who knows he is lesser than the previous one I have experienced and witnessed already and it is okay.. well that's politics the reason why they are running for the office is for them to reign and put all people in hell .. oopsies... too much words. hehehe

Your title really caught my attention. It makes sense actually. I hope politicians in our country would be more noble and have integrity. The truth is I don't know who are to vote. I can't think of people who really are true to themselves.

Whatever the results of this election on May, I am very positive that politicians fulfill their promises to the voting public.[i][/i] sad to say most do not keep their promises and quite honestly i am fed up. I am in Zamboanga city and most people probably know that here in my city brown outs are quite very rampant and it really is THAT BAD and most politicians are where right now? NOWHERE even if it is campaign season because they are ashamed to show their faces that they could not justify what is happening. They know actually what is happening, how grave corruption is BUT they don't have the balls to stand up against it.. especially those people i chose before who are of the lesser evil. I was even thinking about this the other day, if i would vote, probably i will chose the lesser evil.. but since things are still that bad here, i thought what is the point? evil or lesser evil..all of them don't have the balls to really make a Good difference. I have not seen one politician who is worthy of my vote in fact.

I am the kind of person that doesn't always exercise my right to vote on a regular basis. The reason for that is that I don't really have a lot of interest in politics and therefore I sometimes feel like I'm making a decision based on the wrong criteria and if that is what I am doing, then I don't think that I need to vote at all. That said, I do think that when an election takes place that the voters really are voting for the person that they believe is the lesser of the two evils.

It is very unfortunate that we do not have enough time to really know each candidate well. We might be missing people who are really that good and dedicated but how are we to know each of them? So what usually happens is, I just vote the people I know. If there is a category or post that I am not able to foll up due to not knowing the candidate that much, a just place a long line over the space.

I have the same problem as well. Our elections are going to be next year. The only thing I know is that I do not want to keep the party which makes the government up. But none of the parties available offers a really good alternative. Most of them just seem to care about their own hunger for money and power, and I don't agree with most of their programs and profiles either (I'm not a raging, radical, foaming-mouthed, racist and antisemitic localpatriot, but I'm not an all green all lovey-dovey, overly tolerant and overly liberal hippie, either). I'd just like a golden means party who cares about the hard-working and honest individual, and doesn't put all the burden on us when the country is in sh.t.

Me, i will choose the candidates (senotariables specially) according to how much they have done in the senate. If they are new ones, i have to hear about their credentials.

Good to know about your attitude on election and voting. I am also in your sort. Don't believe the fake promises of the politicians. Always i think a lot before casting my vote. We must select the proper person and use our voting rights in a good way.
