I am a software developer by trade and have a scientific mind by nature. I am very good at quick and to the point. I don’t like wasting time. I understand this is one of my downfalls and I am trying to use this blog to improve my delivery of thoughts and ideas. Back to it though (nature wins again)
I am 100% actively not paying attention to what candidates are saying right now because they are just dancing around the real questions. I will start paying attention the last month before when they start putting together charts of where each candidate stands on major issues. I don’t like hearing a 5 minute ramble that doesn’t completely answer the question when it could be one or two sentences.
Most people like me don’t want to hear a candidate ramble about things related to an issue in hopes they can dodge actually answering the question. Ask a candidate what their stance is on abortion and they will start talking about educating people about birth control and instilling family values and whatever else they can think of. Get to it; are you pro-life or pro-choice? When it comes to taxing don’t sit there and tell me how you are going to help America get back on it’s feet and make life better for everyone. Tell me what taxes you are going to implement/cut, who it’s going to affect and by how much.
Give me the meat. Leave the parsely in the kitchen.
