The Races

My support has shifted upon finding a new website for Bruce Poliquin's campaign for governor. http://www.bruceforme.com/index.php
Read the issues, they are more in dept, although still slightly generalized (no specific tax to cut) but has some excellent proposals in much detail (East-West Highway, State-funded charter schools) which Matt Jacobson's website (see earlier posts) did not have in such availability. Now, specific plans are not only something to look for, but also to examine and see if the bigger principle is something you agree with. Too often candidates propose the principles and never have a specific plan so even if the principles are good, when they get elected they have very little accomplishments because they had no idea what they were actually going to do. Often it turns out that they learn they can't do what they promised in principle because they didn't have the specifics (Obama and Guantanimo Bay prisoners). Other times I will admit it works in the other direction where the principle was good during the campaign but not only was it bad in practice but in practice something completely different ended up happening which some critics predicted (Obama and the banks and the bringing of Socialism). So, people of the world, look at the specifics and apply them to your principles. If they have no specifics, do not vote for them. There is also another aspect which is to try and talk to the candidate. This may seem impossible for some positions (a presidental campaign rally in New York or California) but should be attemped. This is why this Wednesday I will attempt to get Bruce Poliquin's thoughts and ideas on some of the issues of the day. For whoever is in your district running I recommend you try to do the same. Thank you for reading. Meow.

P.S. I am now legally engaged to the love of my life.
