I dont believe in lesser evil votes......

voters vote those whom they could approach in times they need something or in other words they go to where they benefit more......

I believe everybody here wants the best man for the job....... I mean who doesnt?

but the question is .. if the best man can't get the job .. will you choose the 2nd best so that the 4th best doesnt get it ..

but the real question is how sure are we that we chose the best man?

Would experience be enough as a gauge? would credentials should be the benchmark? would his achievements be enough to make him the best man for the job? we wouldnt know beforehand.... only time will tell us.......

just like those who criticized marcos regime, just like those who criticized ramos' trips and means to get investors to the power industry, just like Erap who is being tagged as a dumb president.... we cannot really determine beforehand if we have chosen the best man or not..... all we could do is watch and criticize while these individuals mark their names in our history as flops or as great leaders

oh geez.....you're taking the statement literally. look it's nothing but a statement, no more no less. it could also means choosing the next best candidate if you want a positive spin on it.

Thats it basically...... no one knows if you are voting the best, the 2nd best, the 3rd or the worst....... only time will prove their worth as a leader.... so until then, our decisions would be based on whom we think we would benefit the most....

lesser evil vote is a stupid vote. i always vote for the most competitive one, an achiever overall and output oriented. lesser evil but very incompetent is a big NO!
