Really? Are you sure?
Voting on "issues" is a farce. Most of us do not have enough knowledge about the subject matter, let alone political, legislative and administrative processes necessary to enact them. Instead, we should be evaluating candidates on the basis of their personal integrity, if we can find any.

Their actions speak for themselves. When have you heard a recent President take responsibility for unpopular decisions?

It begins with the voter.
In all politics, the politician is much like a toothpaste brand, he wants the most people to vote for him and will try to appeal to the widest demographic possible.
As the newspaper disappears, we are subjected to talking heads talking 'about' the news without even a detailed look at what that news really is. In brief hours of aftermath in the Gabby Gifford shooting, certain media outlets were very quick to "advance" the story, a journalistic technique in which you move the topic, usually as a side bar, to another angle. In that case it was gun control with the direct suggestion that "Republican" over-the-top rhetoric was responsible for the shooting, with an undercurrent that this was somehow the Republicans fault.
UNTIL...that is, it was revealed that the shooter was a Democrat volunteer and knew Gifford. In my day as a journalist, someone would lose their credibility if not their job over that, not for being wrong, but for being one sided and not pointing out the Democrats had just weeks before published a picture of Sarah Palin in the cross hairs of a high powered scope.
Most people are basing their vote on what they hear from people just like them, not bothering to look at the real facts, like that Mitt Romney's platform was almost identical to Obama's, and had more emphasis on the status of women.
99% of the mags at super market check outs are tripe about stars, celebrities, what washed up whore is showing her privates this week...and that is where the decision is made on who to vote for. Obama, the "nice clean"candidate as Joe Biden reminded us, or the fat fuck with "binders full of women" who didn't care about 47% of the population.
The result is the kind of politicians you have today, Harry Reid going to fucking war with "terrorists", "jihadists" and "traitors", never mind the fact he is there to get things done, as majority leader he has a responsibility to bring about consensus, although that word is now no longer on anyone's radar.
Politics is a game of not what is, but what you can make it appear to be, and as long as the electorate is drinking the 144 character cool aid, you get a room full of smoke and such surprises as a $600 million health care computer system that doesn't work and a president suddenly willing to talk about anything but health care.
The late Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau was fond of saying "the people get the kind of government they deserve." He should know he screwed Canada for 15 years.
Views on politics[edit]
Records show that Loughner was registered as an Independent and voted in 2006 and 2008, but not in 2010.[39][40] A YouTube channel under an account called "Classitup10" was linked to Loughner. (There have been numerous copies of 'impostor accounts' such as 'JaredLoughner' and 'Classitup1O'.)[41][42]
Loughner's high school friend Zach Osler said, "He did not watch TV; he disliked the news; he didn't listen to political radio; he didn't take sides; he wasn't on the Left; he wasn't on the Right."[17] A former classmate, Caitie Parker, who attended high school and college with Loughner, described his political views prior to 2007, prior to his personality transformation, as "left wing, quite liberal,"[43] "radical."[44]
In the aftermath of the shooting, the Anti-Defamation League reviewed messages by Loughner, and concluded that there was a "disjointed theme that runs through Loughner's writings", which was a "distrust for and dislike of the government." It "manifested itself in various ways" for instance, in the belief that the government used the control of language and grammar to brainwash people, the notion that the government was creating "infinite currency" without the backing of gold and silver, or the assertion that NASA was faking spaceflights.[45]
Dislike for Gabrielle Giffords[edit]
According to a former friend, Bryce Tierney, Loughner had expressed a longstanding dislike for Gabrielle Giffords. Tierney recalled that Loughner had often said that women should not hold positions of power.[46][47] He repeatedly derided Giffords as a "fake". This belief intensified after he attended her August 25, 2007 event when she did not, in his view, sufficiently answer his question: "What is government if words have no meaning?"[19] Loughner kept Giffords' form letter, which thanked him for attending the 2007 event, in the same box as an envelope which was scrawled with phrases like "die bitch" and "assassination plans have been made".[48] Zane Gutierrez, a friend, later told the New York Times that Loughner's anger would also "well up at the sight of President George W. Bush, or in discussing what he considered to be the nefarious designs of government."[47]
