Authors, sign in!Here are things that I'm considering in voting for the next President of the United States:
- How inclusive of all Americans is the vision of the candidate?
- How important a role is education in their vision? Will he promote an atmosphere in which public education is more effective and secondary education is more affordable?
- Does he have a vision which will promote conditions which can foster the rise of new technology leading to new business opportunities and an expansion of the jobs base?
- Which candidate will help improve our country's image abroad?
- Which candidate has an urban domestic policy? In other words a policy which will help redevelop our crumbling and decaying urban areas?
- Which candidate's world view reflects intellectual curiosity and flexibility but is, at the same time born out of a set of core values that resonate with the best traditions of our country?
- Which candidate demonstrated a commitment to our nation's safety and the world's peace?
- Which candidate has conducted a more honorable campaign?
- Which candidate has demonstrated a greater commitment to integrity than ideology?
- Which candidate has managed his campaign better?
- Which candidate listens to the broadest range of interests in the country?
- Whose candidates have policies which best address the needs of the poor in our country?
- Which candidate values not only the life of the unborn, but the future of those who are born?
- Which candidate inspires this country to civic engagement?
- Which candidate communicates a message that balances government intervention and personal responsibility?
In Texas early voting starts tomorrow.
No candidate perfectly addresses all of these areas implicated in these questions, but as I vote, these are some of the thoughts that will determine my choice.
What are yours?
