Voting Principles
Here are some principles I use to guide my voting.
- Study (As much as possible.)
- Read the analysis, candidate statements, arguments, rebuttals, whatever you can to get a clear picture of the candidate/bill.
- For independent candidates, and sometimes measures, review the endorsements.
- Unions are generally indicative of liberals, whether their teachers, or police, or whatever.
- Police organizations are not indications of conservatism. There are hundreds of them and they come in all political flavors.
- When in doubt, vote no.
- Stability is important, and I generally don't think it wise to implement changes with ambiguous effects.
- There is good reason to be suspicious that ambiguous and obtuse legislation is hiding something sinister.
