(17,997 posts)What reason would be acceptable? I am not saying there isn't one. I am seriously trying to find out what people are thinking on this.

(67,030 posts)me, it would not be a singular answer. I would find it difficult to judge a candidate solely on their patriotic act vote.

(17,997 posts)Do you think there is ever a single issue that is important enough to, well, basically look no further?

(4,769 posts)I don't think those who voted for it are qualified to run an Arby's. They're either cowards, idiots or kind of fascist, but sometimes those they are running against are far worse. If they admitted their mistake and are good on other issues...

(17,997 posts)That an elected official admits error. But damn, that would be nice.
Thanks for your reply.
