[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 1930908, member: 8119"] Everyone wants health, wealth, and prosperity. But to get there - you need a plan. A well thought-out detailed plan. If somebody is wanting my vote - they better have rigorously researched the problems, considered the best approach, and be absolutely sure to stick to their game-plan. A majority of these are not 'new' issues. They've both had a lot of time to contemplate this and (I hope) have done their homework. *I* don't care about colors or parties. I care and vote on issues. One significant characteristic I expect from a leader is long-term reliable consistency on issues. Wavering on issues indicates sub-par research, poor decisions, lack of commitment to 'their direction', ....or disingenuous intentions. Yes I agree that sometimes changes on issues are necessary. Issues can change, new information can be brought to light, or who knows what else. But dramatic changes should not occur overnight - or often. Willy-nilly "changing your mind" raises a BIG red flag for me. If he's not committed to his position, ...and is free to 'change his mind', ...then how do you vote on issues? And if this isn't about 'issues', then what do you base it on? Blindly on color or party? [/QUOTE]
