Politics- Final Fantasy
**********************
( based on a conversation
with a retired civil engineer
at Tim Hortons )
" The expectation that
someone running for public office
will have _exactly the same perspective
on every issue as you do is ...unrealistic
Chances are pretty good
that you will vote for someone
if they agree with your big issue
and a couple of others.
To the right : Conservative / Republican -
they throw a candidate away
if they are not 100% what they want
because _principles are all that matters.
To the left : Liberal / Democrat
they will vote for anyone
if they offer 50% of what they want
because_ power
is more important
than _principles.
