Ethics case study : discussion #4

Making a decision between two candidates. Which one will get your vote? An election is approaching. You have always been a very critical (define that as “analytical”) voter. Instead of merely pulling a switch for one party or another, you are an informed voter. You study and find out who various candidates are. What is their background? What is their track record? What is their voting record, if they have been in office? Where do they really stand on the issues? What are they like personally? Do they have personal integrity and a lifestyle that backs up what they stand for on the issues? In other words, do they walk their talk? In one race, you face a choice between two candidates which one would you choose? What weighing of values tipped the scale for that candidate for you?

Important. In your discussion post, let everyone remain civil. Let all of us avoid political extremes and name-calling. Stick to the topic. Choose one candidate and tell why you chose one versus the other. This case is not right versus wrong. It is weighing one set of values versus another and having to make a choice, because you can only vote for one candidate.
