What do you say when someone running for office asks for your vote? Let's say someone knocks at your door and they smile and tell you that they are running for State Delegate or State Representative or State Senate, or maybe for some County office like County Council or Sheriff. Maybe they are running for Congress or US Senate.

Let's say you know little about them except that they are polite and make a nice appearance. They ask for your support and maybe for some money to help their campaign.

Do you just say yes to be nice? Or do you just say yes or no to make them go away?

Are there some relevant and important and simple questions you can ask that will tell you very quickly whether you should support them or not?

You bet there are. Let's talk about it....


TOPICS: Government; Miscellaneous; Politics; Religion

I ask them what our form of government is.
They've all failed to answer correctly. They seem to believe America is a Democracy and not a Constitutional Republic.

And the guys running for the Senate get really mad when I tell them they won't be nothing more than glorified Representatives.

He ran for office and I was unimpressed.
