I planned on using a different
commercial to illustrate my point; however, this one will have to do. It
really, irritates me to see politicians bashing one another like this. But
before I get any deeper into this “rant,” I want you to know that I am just
using Rick Perry’s commercial as an example. This is not a personal attack on
Rick Perry. I just felt the need to write something to get us all thinking
about what really matters when electing the new president, whoever he may be.
It may just be me, but if someone
wants my vote, he must tell me more about himself than he does the other
candidates. I want to know about why he thinks he would be a good president;
not why he thinks the other candidate would not be good a president. To me, the
ideal presidential candidate will tell me all he can about himself, and forget
about all the other candidates in the race.
This behavior also says something
about a candidate’s character. I want to see a man of impeccable character in
charge of this great nation. The ideal presidential candidate does not see
himself as being worthy of being the president of the United States. The ideal
presidential candidate esteems others more highly than he does himself. We
should think twice before electing a man who does not respect the other
candidates.
Lastly, the way a presidential
candidate runs his campaign shows how he truly feels about the American people.
If he truly believes that it is about “we the people,” he will allow the people
to decide who the better candidate is. But a fair and balanced decision can
only be made if each candidate is open and honest about himself. So
presidential candidate, you worry about you, and let the people decide who they
want to be the next president of the United States.
The former pastor of our church
used to say, “Boldness is not rudeness.” When a candidate resorts to bashing
the other candidates, he is not showing his strength; he is showing his
weakness. In the end, the most courageous candidate is the one who admits that
he is no more worthy to be elected than any of the other candidates. This is
what I truly believe. And this is what I will keep in mind when considering who
to vote for come November 2012.
