Do people vote based on how many election signs are posted up?

The candidate running for Senate sticking up for people that make less then 100k yr. probably won't have tons of money for signs.

  • That is the whole idea behind all the campaigning. NObody actually listens to those speeches and the speeches have no content anyway. The thing is name recognition. People in general have extremely short memories so the names that get the most exposure are the names that receive the votes, no matter what platform the candidates support.

    In short, elections are a giant popularity contest with deadly consequences since the elected "class president" and his cronies in the congress have the power to declare war, impose taxes, and make life-changing rules for everyone (but themselves).

    The politicians lust after power above all else, and they will say and do **anything** to obtain/maintain power.

    They think that they are royalty and they act as if they were.

    The politicians have come to believe that they are our masters rather than our servants.

    They are out of control.

    It's time to vote ALL of them out of office.

    We need to have a 'REMOVE INCUMBENT' option on the ballot.

    Sadly, too many don't take elections seriously so I'm sure some do but most listen to the rhetoric from the LSM and vote with their feelings instead of their heads. Voting should be taken seriously by all who vote because it affects every American, not just them. It's hard to find anyone with integrity and morals today so the field to choose from isn't very good overall.
