If you think their policies will be bad for the country, then say so and say why.
There are many, and I am one, that think policies are not as important as character.

Holy cow. That is astonishingly scary. When it comes to governing the country, I want someone whose policies will do best for the country. Frankly, what he does on his own time is none of my concern. I dont care if my bank manager cheats on his wife, as long as he doesnt cheat on my money. Same with politicians.

As a general rule people with good character choose policies that are good for the country. People with low character generally chose policies that benefit themselves at the expense of the country.

In times past these people were called "statesmen". A word rarely heard today.

At one time the Democratic party had many statesmen. Today I can only name two who could possibly fall into that category. Zell Miller and Joe Leiberman.

Most tend to fall into this category.
